vandechrome, but the A700 and D90 both have a 3" 920K 640x480 LCD screen!

I find my A700 and A900 screen matches my calibrated CRT monitor and photo printer in both saturation, WB and gamma*.

* gamma = midtone brightness, drag the middle slider in Levels in Photoshop to see the effect

Remember, desktop or laptop LCDs are usually colder. thisiskj just ran his laptop through a Spyder Colorvision and his screen is now a lot warmer than before (it used to be about 2500K, now about 4500K.)

Also, LCDs can never display true black, only a dim light that tries to be black. (Unless the LCD is off, hehe.) So that's why your midtones and shadows are boosted and you see a lot more noise on a LCD... but when you print it's so much darker and less noisy.

I find the A700 and A900 screens to have very good saturation and blackness unlike so many LCD screens I have used at work.

i think the new LED technology will help in giving true black for LCD display smile.gif

Not much different. Thing is you are actually doing a slow sync flash but you need to control your shutter speed yourself. I normally shoot in M mode and adjust accordingly. For example in a banquet hall, I would find the proper shutter speed and flash power setting and then shoot using that setting.

Most I need to do is adjust the flash power either a little up or down to fit some situations. Outdoors under the sunlight, I would usually adjust the flash power depending on the situation.

Trial and error. You need to know how slow your shutter can go before you get things like blurry pics due to either subject movement or hand shake. If you can no longer adjust the shutter speed lower then try upping your ISO setting so for the same period of exposure time, you can get a brighter pic. Of course when you crank up your ISO, you must remember to adjust your flash power down a little if you are using manual flash setting. Else leave the flash to TTL and you should be fine.

thanks for the explaintaton.... really need to try and error.... fully agreed with that..... thanks man.

i found that the photo that i took was unsharp. after convert to jpeg.. it still the same. any idea can teach me?
the photo was taken during my company D&D

The photo was blur because of i did not using the flash?

DSLR-A300
F stop: F11
exposure:0.8sec
ISO: 800
Flash: no flash
*
the blur high possibility caused by ur hand shaked or the girl moved...... not sure y u use f/11 & 0.8"

change the F number will help a lot in speeding up your shutter speed and reduce the blur

try to use flash and try lower ISO

i think this is less possible bcoz F11 the DoF shd b quite deep..just a lil bit of slight move shd b stil within the focus range...shd b more likely due to the 0.8s shutter..
*
DOF won't help if the hand or the face moved within that 0.8s biggrin.gif

let said.if i arrange COD with a seller..what is the main thing i need check? during overall checkup..? because i havent purchase any lens before(using kit lens) so not sure need to check on what thing.. sweat.gif i still learning on the way..

1st thing u can c is the cosmetic.... discolor, dents, scratches or cracks....
then check the optic for scratches or coating wear or peel off.....
check whether any alien inside the lens (dust, mist, fungus...)
check aperture blades.... slow, sluggish, oily, .....
mount it to ur cam n test a few shots... test MF & AF then check the photos biggrin.gif
