<p>Thank you all for your responses, it was interesting reading and I have more stuff to think about during setting my camera and bag up. THANKS!!! :)</p>

<p>Hi,</p> <p>since I bought my second lens (70-300mm tele) to my Nikon D80 and 18-70mm, Im constantly changing the layout of my Lowepro Nova 4 camera bag. While I can fit in the camera with shorter lens attached, it is not possible with the tele - because of the other stuff im carrying.</p> <p>Now, I read few days ago a post from a photographer who claimed he finds it faster to just carry the camera without lens attached so he doesnt need to remove from the camera the lens which can fit in the bag when he wants to start shooting with another lens.</p> <p>Im just thinking about possible pros and cons. I can see two cons already - first, you cant just start shooting after opening the bag - and second, the camera with lenses attached wont fit any compartment.</p> <p>Whats your opinion on this topic, please?</p>

<p>Thank you all for your answers and links! :) Looks like my "problem" is in fact no problem at all. :)</p> <p>Ad. Eric - As the autoiso doesnt seem to work with flash on my D80 I can leave it on and set the minimal ISO manually.</p>

<p>Hi Jeff,</p> <p>and thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I dont really understand relevance of that part of manual as it only mentions autoiso and flash when describing underexposed foreground objects.</p> <p>My setting is like this:<br />- M mode, 1/180, f/8, ISO 100<br> - AutoISO set to ON, 1/125, up to 1600</p> <p>Now<br />- when not using pop-up flash, ISO changes depending on the light conditions<br />- when using pop-up flash, ISO stays on 100, even whan I put the lens cap on</p> <p>But maybe its how it should work as the flash controls its power itself. Its just that the change in behaviour surprised me ...</p>

<p>Hi,</p> <p>some time ago I learned that while AutoISO works fine with my Nikon D80 when shooting without flash (pop-up), it doesnt when using flash - it simply stays on the manually selected ISO. Sometimes it would be helpful.</p> <p>Is there a way to make it work, please?</p>

<p>Hi,<br> Im curious about AutoISO. I usually set it to 1/125th (my main lens goes to 70mm, thats 105mm EQ, so I generally want at least more than 1/100th) and I let the maximum ISO 1600.<br> Now, this setting works great in Manual (i set say 1/250 and f/8 to avoid blur and have good depth of field) and let the AutoISO work the rest. Also, it works great in Aperture priority (I set f/8 to have good depth of field and let the AutoISO do its work (it increases ISO until 1600 and then it starts slowing shutter down).<br> But unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to set maximum aperture (minimum aperture number). I would like to set say minimal aperture to f/8 and maximum to f/16 and then, in Shutter priority, let AutoISO increase ISO until 1600 and THEN increase aperture (decrease aperture number). <br> But I suppose its not possible. Or not possible with my Nikon D80?<br> Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Thank you, it needs to be set in AF-C ... :)</p>

<p>Hi,</p> <p>Ive got a question regarding focusing on my Nikon D80. </p> <p>I decided to try that so-called back button focus, co first, I set in menu<br> CUSTOM - AEL/AFL = AF-ON<br /><br />But the problem was the camera wasnt taking pictures unless focused (default behaviour which I like when using the half-press-shutter-to-focus settings, but it got annoying now). I didnt know how to disable it. I wanted the camera to take pictures even when its not properly focused.</p> <p>Funny thing, I managed to set it somehow yesterday (it started working "my way" after setting FOCUS AREA = WRAP. But today I wanted to get back to the original behaviour and I couldnt (the camera was taking pictures even with cap on). So I made reset (with the green-dotted buttons on top of the camera) and now I can focus with half-press and shoot pictures only when the camera is focused. Original way. Fine.</p> <p>But now, Im once again unable to set it to the back button focusing style = AF with AEL/AFL and take pictures even when not focused.</p> <p>Please, where is this magic settings? My english is not that good so Im not able to search it on the net ... </p> <p>So, in summary: WHERE, in Nikon D80, can I switch if the camera requires to be focused before taking pictures ... or not.<br /><br /><br /><br> THANKS!!! :)</p>
