Nikon did not confirm anything in their latest interview with DC.Watch

By [NR] admin | Published: December 26, 2014

Nikon-interview-with-DC.Watch
After DC.Watch published their new interview with Nikon’s marketing department executive, several websites started reporting wild speculations based on Kusumoto Shigeru’s comments. As usual in such interviews, Nikon did not confirm anything – they just gave us the regular “we are investigating the possibilities and demand for such product“. In answer to one of the questions, Kusumoto Shigeru said that Nikon will be moving towards high-megapixel cameras in the future because customers wanted that – this has already been going on for over a decade, not sure why it was still a surprise to some:

Nikon D750 reflection/flare issue – possible solution found

By [NR] admin | Published: December 22, 2014

Nikon-D750-camera
A month ago I reported about a new Nikon D750 issue that is present when shooting backlit subjects – if the light source is just outside the upper parts of the frame, you get some strange internal reflection/flare issues (see those flickr samples: -1- |  -2- |  -3- |  -4-). This issue has been documented and reported by many websites in the past few weeks:

A member of the Polish forum nikoniarze.pl found a possible solution (see detailed translation and pictures and also this thread) – you just need to place a small non-reflective plate/tape right in front of the mirror:

Nikon D750 reflection flare issue solution

Red arrow – you can see the light reflecting off the AF sensors
Green arrow – curtain that does not (fully) hide the reflection when AF sensor is mounted too shallow
