Here are the results of my experiments:...Hi Marko. Here are the results of my experiments:<br />1. neutral density - screen brightness automatically adjusted so that the effect of ND was not observable on the screen. This could actually be good. It could help you see the subject even with a very strong ND filter, where you can't see the subject with the optical viewfinder.<br />2. grad ND - screen brightness adjusted to some extent. The greater the proportion of the frame that was covered with the grad ND, the greater the adjustment (so if the dark portion of the grad ND covers a large portion of the frame, the screen will compensate a lot, and the effect of the grad ND will be less observable on the screen).<br />3. circular polarizer - sorry I couldn't find mine. But I think the answer is similar to the grad ND - it depends on what portion of the screen is darkened by the circular polarizer. If for example a blue, cloudless sky covers most of the frame and you use the circular polarizer, then the screen brightness will adjust a lot and make the effect of the circular polarizer less observable.<br /><br />When I find my circular polarizer, I will update this.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-8429636471990811732012-09-27T09:47:48.214-07:002012-09-27T09:47:48.214-07:00Thanks, Marko. I assume you are talking about Liv...Thanks, Marko. I assume you are talking about Live View Photo not LV Video (pls. let me know if otherwise). Just to clarify, the camera is compensating the screen brightneess only not the actual exposure of the image. I understand that's what you mean by "exposure on the LCD" and you're right.<br /><br />Re grad ND and polarizer I will try it and let you know to confirm. But my guess is that because you are only affecting a part of the screen with the grad ND and the darkening of the sky, then the camera won't compensate the screen brightness for just those darkened portions (the screen brightness auto-adjustment is for the entire screen, not at a pixel level). If you were using a ND filter that would be an interesting question and I'll let you know as well.<br /><br />Thanks again and pls. check back tomorrow.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-30789529421991770172012-09-27T01:32:11.033-07:002012-09-27T01:32:11.033-07:00[Not] WYSIWYG: As I understand the camera is alway...[Not] WYSIWYG: As I understand the camera is always compensating to get an 0EV exposure on the LCD in LiveView mode.<br /><br />What if I insert a gradual ND filter ? Will it compensate, so the effect won't be visible ? Tha same question applies when using a polarizer ? Does that means that the the effect of darkened sky won't be visible ?<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the excellent review.<br /><br />MarkoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-17579693732673597702012-09-26T07:40:20.541-07:002012-09-26T07:40:20.541-07:00Thanks Trekkie78.

You can do it by pressing the ISO button and using the sub-command dial. I really love the Auto ISO controls of the D600 :)<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-40634672241680769382012-09-26T07:25:27.823-07:002012-09-26T07:25:27.823-07:00Thanks Mic!

When you go to the auto ISO options and select "auto" for shutter speed, you can press the multi-selector to the right and it will go to another dialog box where you can customize the "auto" speed. By default it's 1/focal length but you can adjust that 1 or 2 stops slower or faster.<br /><br />As for deleting the images I haven't figured out how to link the two images on the card. It's either something Nikon forgot about or an intentional decision on their part so that if you delete one image by accident at least your backup is still there.<br /><br />As for Part 2 sorry I haven't posted the link in Part 1 but it's actually up already: http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2012/09/nikon-d600-hands-on-review-part-2.html<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-83287346916196599182012-09-25T14:43:14.573-07:002012-09-25T14:43:14.573-07:00Hi Mic,
Great review so far!
What do you mean ...Hi Mic,<br /><br />Great review so far! <br /><br />What do you mean by "Auto ISO can be tweaked for 2 stops faster than the 1/focal length rule?" Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot - I can only set the Auto ISO for a max ISO and minimum shutter speed (going from memory)...<br /><br />Also - wondering if you've figured out something that is driving me nuts. I'd like to store my RAW on one card and JPEG on the other. So far so good... but if I want to delete a picture, I need to delete it, then cycle to the other card and delete it from there too. Do you know of any way to link the picture so that one delete removes both copies?<br /><br />Looking forward to Part 2!Trekkie78https://www.blogger.com/profile/08275314814751220727noreply@blogger.com
