  • Even though the Nikon D80 has three auto-focus options, Single-Area gives you the most control, as outlined in this WebTip from the Magic Lantern DVD Guide for the Nikon D80

    omg thank you, i was searching through my manual trying to find how to change the focus area. of course it was as simple as the arrow buttons!!! i was starting to go crazy because the focus area was off to the side, i must have changed it on accident at some point!
    THANKYOU!!!

    Liveview is when the image your are taking shows up on the LCD screen, while you're taking it.
    Cameras without it you use the viewfinder.

      Revolution Of Gameplays not sure if you bought the camera but I just got one for $90 on eBay and boy do I love it. Paired with a recently purchased 50mm f1.8 D, it pumps out incredible images. Takes better photos than my iPhone 7 Plus in good light

    My auto focus keep moving all the way out and back, and because of that I can't take any pictures so I'm forced to switch over to manual focus. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong or is there something faulty with my camera?

    Need help!
    My D80 used to be set in a way that allowed me to take a light reading in a darker area of the room and go back to the spot where I wanted to take my photograph. For example if I wanted to photograph one spot in my room and there was not enough light there I would point the camera to an even darker area of the room and press the button down halfway to get the light reading and then point the camera back to the original spot I wanted to photograph, tricking the camera into thinking that it's actually taking a photo of the darker area.
    Does anyone know how to set that up on the D80? That was my setting but somehow I lost that and now I don't know how to set that up again on my camera.
    Thanks!

      +stu wilks You might have already found the solution by now, but in principle the shutter button is not the right one for this task. On the D80 you will find the AE-L/AF-L button, to the right of the viewfinder. This locks the settings as long as you hold it.

    • @javaman2883
      @javaman2883 2 года назад

      Depends on the lens. D80s were sold as body only, or with a kit lens. People who already had a nice lens from an earlier SLR or DSRL coule just buy the D80 body, to use with their lenses. The lower prices lenses often have a max F stop of 3.5, but more expensive lenses are faster (F 2.8 for example).
