I'm guessing it is because of the Exposure Bias Setting. It should be at 0EV (-0.7 is 2/3 of a stop under expose). What lens are you using ?
Another thing you can do is add a bounce card to the flash if the ceiling is too high.

Try restore the exposure bias to 0eV and try

yeah.. but i use cybertik mz45 flash.. combined with the almost half a kilogram of tamron 17-50 f2.8 it points down like there's no tomorrow.

even without the flash it points down too... maybe i need a battery grip..to balance it out

Tamron 17-50 f2.8.... rich we are

How's the performance of the 17-50 f2.8 ?

thought of getting the 18-200VR for wedding shots. but a lot of people recommend me to get the tamron 1750 f2.8. glad i did.

for close up pics, f2.8 is fine, but for normal portrait wedding shots, the sharpest pic u can get with this lens is at f4-f5.6.

but one thing about it though, comparing it against my friend's nikon 18-55 & tamron 70-300 and my previously owned nikon 55-200VR, you will notice that it weighs a lot...man is it heavy.

Agree with the last statement. It's really heavy for a 17-55mm lens

18-200VR is out of the question.... it is expensive.. and not as sharp as the Tamron 17-50. Only thing that I didn't really like about it was that the built in motor is quite slow (as in slower than 18-135). So other than the 17-50 ... you don't have a Tele lens..or a Super wide ?

no uwa-ultra wide lens.. dont need it anyways..

thinking of getting a tele 70-300 VRii lens...but still not sure as i need to buy a dslr bagpack and battery grip.

Better to get a backpack..and the grip if it is useful. Too bad my sold already or else would offer you a good price

y did u sell yours?

what brand?

what backpack you guys recommend?

Mine was a YXTM grip. Most of the brands are about the same. Sold it b'cos I didn't need it anymore and the vertical shutter button was not as useful as I thought. After selling this and kit lens went and got 35 f1.8 lens.

1/10s must have very steady hand and the baby cannot move too much.
invest in external flash will help a lot

the vertical shutter no use because cant af.

yxtm? not phottix ka?

google and see OWNUSER (nice grip design) ), Phottix & the d60 grip with lcd on the back..

heard from my friend got a new d60 grip from meike.

YXTM, Phottix, Hahnel and another brand "Battery Grip" are about the same.. look about the same... price about the same except Hahnel a bit higher b'cos with spare battery and remote. I've heard of Ownuser grips and seen pics but have not seen the real thing.

He's indeed using the SB-600 to shoot. Only problem is the pics still underexposed

maybe SB-600 not powerful enaf?

lol, jz jk, no harm meant

may be the exposure bias was turned to -0.7 that causes this

Guys, I got a friend who want to sell SB600 for price range between RM450-RM500 he said. He's still thinking about it. Should I go for it?The condition is overall still good. 9/10 if I might say.

yea it is cheap..IF the condition is good.

if the condition is still good, that's a pretty cheap price for a second hand SB-600. Jst go for it
