<p>When I view a photo taken with my d700 in the lcd and then download it to lightroom 2.2 the exposure jumps up (over exposes) by about 1/2 a step. This happens with flash/strobe and to a lesser extent with continuous, but not with natrual light. I've checked my import settings for lightroom and I believe they are correct. Has anybody else had this problem?</p>

 

<p>Thanks for all of your help! I'm going to try the focus test charts and test shots with my partner's d300 and 50mm 1.8...... then my d700 and 50mm 1.8. I would like to narrow it down to either my camera body or the lens. I will keep you posted and thanks again.</p>

<p>I purchased my D700 in late July 2008 along with a new 24mm-70mm lens. I was using a D80 with a 18-200.<br>

I was hoping for better low light capability and sharper image quality. The low light ability is awesome, but the image sharpness is not good. At first I thought it might be that the new lens is very heavy and doesn't have VR, so it was camera shake. However, I did some test shots on a tripod and still felt they weren't as sharp as my business partner's D300. She uses a 50mm 1.8 and everything is SHARP as a tack. So, I bought a 50mm 1.4 (nikon lens) for multiple reasons, one is its light weight and two the great aperture or 1.4. This still hasn't seem to cure the problem. Are any others having this same problem? Are there some adjustments in the camera settings to address this? Do I need to send it to Nikon to be checked?<br>

Frustrated,</p>

Bought a new d700 today, downloaded the nikon transfer and capture software that came with the camera, but can not view pics in

Lightroom. I do my organizing and editing in Lightroom and was wondering if there is a patch from Nikon or Adobe that I need to download.

I need to take a photo of a tent that has some built in LED lights at night. I also need to be able to see a few people in the tent and a little

of the setting outside the tent. The LEDs can be added back with photoshop, but getting the people and tent well lit and still being able to

see the tent and shadowy meadow/trees is giving me trouble. Any suggestions?
