Thanks for this Dave, Nice to see your posts again. Kieron

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, Kieron

I came across this from Igor in an update to 8.07 "+ Up/Down keys to go next/previous slide in executable slideshow. It allows to use remote controllers which are compatible with Powerpoint. " This works to advance a show, but still looking at using the controller to Start the show. Is there a way to assign a key (F5) to start a show or must you use a menu or click on the icon with a mouse?

Thanks for the reply Eric, I am using a laptop and digital projector. Windows 10 64 bit, I was hoping to just click a button unnoticed by everyone and start the show. I will take the time to explore your videos and the on-line menu.

I am having difficulty understanding how to launch a slide show using a remote or presenter. In the past I had an Icon on the screen and double clicked it (using a mouse) to start the show. The presenter is mainly used for Power Point and Keynote, which I do not use. The buttons will advance the show while playing if I want it to, but I can not figure out how to launch it. My understanding is that it has something to do with the F5 key. Is there a way to program the show to run from the F5 key perhaps. I have tried run application/run slideshow but do not fully understand this to be honest. This will be used in a large venue and it will work up to 100 feet, or so the literature says. If anyone has any insight or experience with something similar, I would appreciate any, and all advice. Thanks, Kieron

Good luck Mark, I always find your shows and photography inspirational. Kieron

I just took Barry`s advice and watched a few tutorials. I will definately be using this feature in CC. Thanks Barry, Kieron

Hello Lin, I finally got around to watching your video, and glad that I did. It sure beats the cloning method I was using previously, Thank you, Kieron

Thanks for doing all this work for us Lin, It is appreciated. Kieron

Hello Lin, Always interested in viewing your tutorials. Many thanks, Kieron

Thanks for sharing the template, Kieron

A big fan of your work Dom, Glad to see that you are creating new work,very impressive!! Looking forward to your new web site. Kieron

Thanks for sharing your expertise Lin, it is appreciated. Kieron

Thank you for sharing, Kieron

Good Luck in your quest Barry, I keep reverting back to my Nikon software,DXO and Photoshop. My recent computer has an SSD for the operating system and one for the Lightroom and Photoshop cache. Lots of ram (36gb), 64 bit windows 7, but I still have similar issues. Kieron

Hello Dave, I know what you mean about the 100% view and most people find it strange that it was not addressed in the latest firmware. The great thing about the files is the ability to crop into the frame. I purchased Thom Hogan`s manual for the D800 and find it has more information than the one supplied by Nikon and may do the same for the D600. Coming from the D700 you will feel right at home. Happy shooting, and feel free to email me anytime. Take care, Kieron

Hello Dave, I purchased the D600 as a backup for the D800 when travelling. The fact that it uses the same battery and many of the same controls was a bonus. Personally I don`t think you can go wrong with this camera once you see the files it produces. Amazing image quality! DXOMark rated this camera as the 3rd highest ever, among all tested cameras–just behind the D800 and D800e for overall sensor quality (based on color depth, dynamic range, and low-light performance). Very low noise at high ISOs. (but has slightly more noise than D800 & D3s) I have heard rumours that the issues with dust and oil spots seems to be improved with the newer productions. I have to clean mine quite often compared to the D800. I prefer to use a dedicated AF-ON button rather than using a shutter half-press to lock focus. The D600 doesn’t have the AF-ON button, only the AE-L/AF-L. You can re-program that button. Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) is limited to 3 frames and +/- up to 3 f-stops on the D600. Depending on which lens is on the D600 or the D800 in my bag is the one I reach for as both produce excellent quality. Take care, Kieron

Great to see you back!

Curious if you noticed any difference with the new firmware?

When I travel I now use the D800 and the D600 ( they use the same batteries) You will love the resolution that is obtainable that allows cropping into the frame. If you shoot hand-held, the one piece of advice that I can give is to use lenses with VR when possible, and also a high shutter speed... 2X or 3 X the reciprocal of the focal length, not the 1/focal length of olden days! The new camera should come with the latest firmware A:1.01 / B:1.02 for the D800. It made an improvement in focusing especially incandescent light. In Thailand recently shooting traditional dancers putting on their make-up. Some were out of focus, recent testing seems to confirm that this issue has been resolved. You will need some of Nikon`s finest lenses to get the most out of the D800. Good luck with your choice, I am sure you will enjoy it. Kieron

Hello Barry, Most of the camera clubs in this part of the world are using the Canon LCOS technology. No screendoor effect from LCD and no rainbows that some people may see with DLP technology. They are easily colour profiled. The drawback is cost. Kieron http://www.projectorcentral.com/lcos.htm http://usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/projectors/lcos_projectors

Thanks for this Lin, Without your tutorials I would have given up on this wonderful software. There are 135 members in our camera club and I am the only one using PTE. I will now have a resource to send them to. Thank you, Kieron

Great to have you back Dom, can`t wait to see your creative juices flowing again. Kieron

Amazing photography Barry, this one is a keeper for me. Kieron

Thanks for this, I missed the update. I use both the H4N and the H1 and really like the H1 for travel. The door to access the micro SD card is quite flimsy, mine fell off opening it for the first time. Kieron
