Nikon D7000 tips

[Raymond_K]

Jeff,

Yes, you are right - the reason that I purchased Elements was that it was supported on Windows XP and I had been "warned" that Lightroom 4 (which I understand is the current version) was not.

Being sincere, I just wanted to play safe but wanted to confirm that you did recommend Lightroom to me.

Apologies for any confusion!!!

Best regards,

Raymond

Protecting your rear LCD screen

Many of us are very protective with our cameras and like to keep them looking as good as possible. The D7000 comes with a plastic protective cover MB-11 for the rear LCD screen that many of us leave on to help prevent the screen from getting scratched. Actually this cover was designed to protect the rear screen during shipping. I leave mine on all the time because I just like the protection it provides but it can cause you problems without occasionally taking it off and cleaning it. If any sand or debris gets between the screen and protector and any pressure is applied to the plastic cover it can actually scratch the screen worse than not having it on at all.

Here is this weeks tip and my recommendation

I leave my protective cover in place but after being in a situation where something might get under the cover such as sand on a visit to the beach or debris from a trip though the woods I remove the cover and clean it and the rear glass so there is nothing that might be caught between the two to rub and scratch the glass on my screen. I like leaving the protective cover on but it does need to be kept clean to not make it defeat the purpose for leaving it on in the first place. Jeff
