  1. Glen h - the card has not been reformatted yet, as the photos are important from a safari in Africa. The card will only be reformatted, when all recovery alternatives have been used.
  2. ShunCheung - thank you very much. I sounds like the problem is, what you mention last, the capacity is all of a sudden reduced. The card was not full - the estimated balance was abt 200 images
  3. I have the last couple of days followed a discussion on another forum regarding loss of photos from a Sony XQD card used with a Sony card reader. The photographer had seen each of the photos immediately after they were taken, but when transferring to the computer several photos were missing. Put the card back into the D850 and they were gone. I was positive it was a computer software issue, however, it turns out that it is a general problem – I have never heard about it. Anyone here have experience the same? I normally use the SD card for overflow, but will in future use it as backup instead, plus I am considering getting a couple of XQD cards more – I do not need the fast CFexpress cards.

  6. I have i5-4690 16gb RAM only and use NEF full size which is about 55-60MP and using Helicon as plugin for LR. I was just not aware that it could take that long time, but as you say leave the computer and make a fresh cup of coffee may sweeten the process. I assume it will take some time before I am on the 80 macro images.
  7. I am using Helicon, but since it mainly is for landscape with a limited number of frames, then I will postpone an upgrade of RAM or what else could be required.

  9. Ed Ingold – Next time I will try the manual stacking and take max 4 frames with focus of foreground, 1-2 at middle and 1 far. I have never used AF on the shutter release only on rear button. I used various settings of the above and special software for stacking of the 9 frames, and the first 3 attempts ended up with like “not everything saved”. It turned out, that my computer had not finished the operation after 10 min or so. I just image a macro fan taking 100+ he can go on holiday during the operation. I have previously used a focus rail for flowers, and even that it is good, one has to be very patient. Nearly all macro/close up of flowers are indoors, as it is always windy when it is good light, where I am living. Thank you for your comments.
  10. I tested it this morning even that it was a little haze, and I selected 9 frames 1 width and it decided to take 12 frames. Another also with 9 frames but width 7 and it took 10 frames. the attached is with the latter setting, it is a little too dark due to the haze. I will find a better location later, but I am travelling one week now.
  11. A guy told me this morning, that he had experienced setting the number of shots to 15 frames, but the camera actually took 50 for what ever reason" I then tried a landscape photo a couple of hours ago just to check, and I set frames to 9 and got 12 ! My example did not have any close foreground - relative steep mountains, but I will try to find better location during the forthcoming week.
  12. There are people making a living, that Nikon is not doing it in camera, so I had to get a dedicate software for that. Nikon may be able to make in camera for landscape, but today you may select 999 frames, and without being a IT man, I assume that requires a lot of internal computer power and more powerful batteries.
  13. I will have to wait for good photo weather - have sun, blue sky, 29 C, but haze !!
  14. Thank you very much for your comments. I have only tried a coupe of times - near to far - but could hardly see any difference. Majority of my landscape photos have been from Vietnamese mountains, where you are standing on the edge with a couple of hundred meters down. I have some other locations in mind. Thanks again.
  15. Using focus shift - after selecting xx frames, where do you set the focus point at the fore-ground or background icw landscape and do you do the same for macro? I asked previously on another site and got different responses.
