if i not wrong, if the graf more at the left side its underexposed, or right side overexposed.. or vice versa, i forgot which one..

talking about flash.. got fire at diff power one.. out default is set at 0. if u want lower power flash out it at -1 or -2. If want more power then put at 1 or 2..

I was too cheap to buy a flash gun and still is.. so i was researching on the flash power.. but if put at -1, it becomes under exposed.. if controlled manually with shutter speed, i think itll come out nicer.. but.. have to be pro at adjusting the correct aperture and shutter speed...

I think im better off with flash gun..

Come come we arrange TT, u grab the users of A700,   then you can test kau kau the A700 while i test the flash 

Spooky: duration of shutter speed or the flash? blum beli got alot of questions. after buy di.. i think you guys wont see me asking about flash adi.. lol

guys,

if im thinking of getting a new lens, should i go for those all-in-one lens like 18-200mm,18-250mm,18-105mm or should i get those 55-200mm, 70-200mm with my kitty lens?

Hi albnok,

I run another test .. Test is under florescent light with F58 on body (no flash gel, etc) ..

Settings: Manual Mode
Aperture:  f4.5
Speed: 1/3
ISO: 320
Creative Style: Vivid 0 +1 +3 -2 -1


honestly, i dont understand on how to use color temperature WB. I know, there is common Kelvin WB in the first post of this thready but i have no idea on how it works... what is the color filter? there are a few numbers like 0 M1-M9 .. Thanks ..

Edit:
I tested with Kelvin WB on the first page .. I found that if I shoot with flash on, it will give more natural wb (accurate WB) if compared to no flash.. does it mean, Kelvin WB is for flash on? am i right?

Say what?

The A230/A330/A380/A500/A550 has its On/Off switch moved around the shutter like Nikon... and Canon puts their 7D On/Off switch where Minolta/Sony used to put it!

This is shocking coming from Canon, ever so stubborn to make changes to ergonomics. The Movie/Photo dial looks SO familiar. Hmmm. Also liking the orientation linked AF point. They stole the RAW button from Pentax.

Though, they lose the high-precision viewfinder screen by their transmissive LCD. Presumably people who shoot with F1.2 lenses in manual focus will use Live View (and blind themselves with the LCD in dark places where F1.2 would be good.)

Interesting that Canon is joining the D300s class - professional-grade single-grip APS-C.

Also more interesting is how little is really released for DPReview to say - the price is still TBC but according to http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1251777601.html it's USD 1699 for body only. They don't even have pictures of their new lenses!

So where should (or rather, where would, seeing that Sony will do what it thinks the market wants) Sony put an A700 replacement? As a step down, where the 50D is, with the price to match, or aim for the Canon 7D/D300s level?

Based on its featureset for different markets, we can see that Sony thinks that full-frame users are traditionalists who have no use for video. Let's hope the gadget-gizmo chasers, telephoto shooters and APS-C loving professionals make it into their market research.

Although it does seem like everybody in Japan must be tight-lipped or face competitors copying features, I know that there is a certain amount that brands know what each other is doing. It's just whether marketing/product planning makes it so, or not.

kev da man: I've been using RawTherapee; freeware with good batch processing.

no, you don't have to. Nikon bodies like the D90 and D200 is able to communicate with any SB-600/800/900 using the onboard flash. of course, with the add-on you are able to control the flashes from further distances, but i'd still prefer radio triggers for their versatility. optical triggers can't see through the walls of a home, for instance.

compared to our wireless flash system, sony is still better. on the f42, i just cycle the flash mode to wireless, or set it on camera then pull the flash out. with nikon, i've got to press two buttons on the sb-600 for 5 seconds, cycle through the internal menu, turn wireless flash on, press the same two buttons again, then set the group and channel (for some INANE REASON it always ends up in group 3, channel A). on the D200, you'll have to go to the custom settings, flash, pop-up flash and select wireless.

two words - horse rice if you're a nikonian. i get to strobist the model way before you can set your flash - and i can do it without using two hands.

noob abit, you talking about the external flash?

comparing cannon, or nikon, to the sony flash, sony flash really that powerful meh? nvm got the statement above to clarify my question..

horse rice.. lol i like..

Drag along some sifus =).

as i said, i have already started to shoot when you are still fiddling with your settings.

no doubt, i love nikon's dual dial system, but something as simple as their much-purpoted CLS could do with a more refined menu.

compared to our wireless flash system, sony is still better. on the f42, i just cycle the flash mode to wireless, or set it on camera then pull the flash out. with nikon, i've got to press two buttons on the sb-600 for 5 seconds, cycle through the internal menu, turn wireless flash on, press the same two buttons again, then set the group and channel (for some INANE REASON it always ends up in group 3, channel A). on the D200, you'll have to go to the custom settings, flash, pop-up flash and select wireless.
