hkhk, on the first shot how do u set up your flash? hmm.gif

If not mistaken it's about 75 degree + the build in bounce card., 24mm zoom, ADI-TTL... but becoz the model is elevated.. so the actually angle should be straight to the ceiling (it's normal ceiling height)

look at 5yrs back n now...its possible ma..hehe..

do note that im not asking RM to depreciate...im hoping SGD to appreciate..lol...of cos i wont want to see my fellow countrymates suffer if RM drop..
anyway...i was jsut thinking of something(imagining i already decided to buy 850 blush.gif )

lets say 850 has no built in flash..so if i wanna fire my F58 wirelessly..i had to get FM20...but could i only capture the light from my F58(lets say from side)..yet not lettting my FM20 attached on my camera affects the lighting?? *lets say i only need light from the side..don wan to fill in light to cancel off the shadow*
*
SG Gahmen will control the currency.. not ez.. The story will be like USD (Global) vs RM vs SGD.. imagine yourself.. tongue.gif

If the A850 is a APS-C, definate I will buy it.. but now it's a FF..
Thinking whether I am ready for a FF.... (although I had been avoiding the DT lens, but i just preparing to buy the CZ1680...) arh.. headache
skill and pocket maybe not ready.. haha

can... but its easier to have standard equipment settings. Imagine you send ARW file to them when they all use diff RAW formats how ?

Photoshop / ACR can settle everything mah.. just maybe the color might be a little bit diffrent lo

Are u one of those guy who is selected by SONY to promote their product?
I know someone who is also having the privilege of getting price much cheaper than retail price.. about 30-40% cheaper than SRP... They are like partially sponsored by SONY..

Yea they say the photos will turn up more sharp. LOL. Made me laugh. Then I'll take out my good ol' alpha and shoot in JPEG and it's sharper. (:

If u change the creative setting, ie sharpness in your camera, sure it will sharper compare to the raw file.

blink.gif  blink.gif but the raw file IS from the same camera you adjusted the creative setting already.  blink.gif  blink.gif

RAW is like film negative. it capture only what the sensor see plus some encryption from SONY.
Creative setting, like contrast, saturation, sharpness & White balance, is additional post processing from your camera Image processor. Basically it;s an instruction code stored in the RAW file.

If you shoot in both RAW + JPG. U will see the different. U can only get the RAW image file looks like your Jpg image using the Sony software. Other Software like Picasa / ACR likely will remove the creative setting, you will have to set it when u process your image.

Thus, it;s safer for your photo. Last time I set the WB to Tungsten, and shoot with flash.. u get a heavy blue cast. You will have to spend sometime to tweek it back to normal. If you are using RAW, just remove the WB setting and you are done.
