Is it possible to lock Casio Ex z42’s menu settings so it doesn’t reset after turning it off?

Continue buying 3rd party batteries or buy original batteries that is half the price of the Camera? I’ve been playing around with a Canon SX530 HS with 3rd party batteries and realizing that the batteries are a bit wonky (I spent $20 CAD for 2). The problem is that the price of a single Canon battery ($75 CAD + tax) is nearly half the price of the camera ($250 CAD + tax) Whereas I could get a preowned camera on MP for $200/$300. Should I buy…

Is there any way to stop the GodoxV1 flash triggering while on camera? Hi! I’ve been trying to figure out how to suppress/pause the flash on my Godox V1 from triggering while it’s still mounted on my camera (Sony A7iii) but to no avail. I’m wanting to take shots in relatively quick succession-at an event- with flash and then without, but want to avoid using the on/off switch for fear of damaging it in the long run….

Is USD890 for a Nikon D500 and NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens worth? My budget is (less than) USD1000. I’m looking to do wildlife photography (as a hobby) and I know 70-300mm is not the best but I just want nice photos if I’m close enough and if I’m not close enough, being able to see enough features to identify the animal is good enough for me (especially since I’m still a beginner). If this helps, most likely I…

Would two prime lenses with marginal differences in focal length provide the same level of versatility? Example, a 30mm versus 35mm. I’m going to pull the trigger on buying new prime lenses soon for portrait photography. I will likely start with a 50mm, but smaller focal lengths like the ones above – as well as larger ones like 85mm – are also part of the plan. Speaking about prime lenses in general, not just the examples above, do small differen…

I am getting a deal on a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8, but I am used to a 50mm prime. Will the zoom lens give me similar functionality as my prime for apertures till f2.8? Edit: Some more context.

The day will fly by, be sure to be at each others side. 2) Don’t look for me in the cr…

How To Release S Bracket? Apologies if this is the wrong sub or if the solution is stupid simple. I recently got an AD200 and was experimenting with it. When I started dissembling, the S Bracket was stuck to the bowens mount of the softbox and I do not know how to get it out. Twisting to the left or right just makes it move in that direction without getting any looser or…
