Aiks!! I terskipped the word "Reserved"....so it should be no now...

the word "RAW" itself actually the true copy of the piccies.... so it dun haf any makeup included...
not only creative setting... even the white balance are not affecting the RAW file..
as hazril said... it only affect ur JPEG file.. try la shoot RAW+JPEG...

moo on desperate mode already... almost demam coz no camera in hand..

Yea abit in desperate mode. LOL! Can la 2 weeks without a camera. (: By 2 weeks must find 1 dy. (:

grab a PnS first lah... then can make as backup to ur A7

i recommend Sony TX1!!!

Crazy. Buy that no need buy a700 dy lo. Hope can find used a700 and CZ. Take both. (:

that one is a CZ right?? if want a G, go get Sony WX1 then

ya...using CZ lense....
but i heard tht TX1 perform better than WX1....
isn't tht weird??

i found tat there are some dust on my a350 sensor.
my camera is still under warranty, do sony center have the service to clean the dust foc? how long does it takes?

thx

free... will take less than a week...

BUT... why dun u buy urself a blower... the video guide is on the 1st page of this thread... by sifu albert...
i never sent my camera to service centre before to clean the dust.. clean it ourselve much faster...

is it?? not really sure bout that.. but TX1 got touch screen right?? can easily choose out focus point using the screen

2 working days i believe

newbie here, worry cannot handle it and spoil the sensor.

No worries wan la as long as you have a proper blower. (:

Few weeks back I posted a problem i faced when processing RAW using Lightroom 2.5
I also recalled somebody was asking the question few days ago with the same problem.

Well, i have tried whatever plug-ins i could find in Adobe Labs and also some custome profiles for A700 from Dyxum forum. None solved my problems. The most comprehensive explanation for this problem was from Lightroom Forums. Just to share it here just in case anybody also have the same problem:

I took a beautiful picture! It was perfectly saturated and color balanced, and I loved it. When I imported the RAW file into Lightroom, I saw my beautiful picture for 5 seconds, and then Lightroom ruined it, and turned it into a bland muddy mess. Why?"

The picture you see in LR is exactly the picture your camera sensor recorded. It's likely that you are used to seeing the preview on the camera display. That preview is not your RAW file, but a JPG which has been processed by the electronics inside your camera. Or, you may be using your camera manufacturer's proprietary RAW conversion software. That software has a post-processing advantage in that it can utilize proprietary 'secret' information embedded in RAW files, which is undocumented and unavailable to third party programs such as LR and ACR.

Additionally, most third party viewer/browser applications show you the embedded JPG preview rather than the actual RAW file contents. In fact, LR itself shows you that preview for a few seconds at first, until it has time to render a preview in accordance with your current develop settings.

When you import your RAW file, none of that proprietary in-camera processing is applied by Lightroom. To a certain extent, you have to do it yourself. That is the purpose of Develop Presets. It takes some getting used to, and some practice, and some homework to achieve consistently good results. The amazing flexibility of Lightroom comes with some costs in terms of effort.

Why would anybody choose to forego the sophisticated in-camera processing? The only way to take advantage of that is to save an RGB pixel-oriented format, typically JPG. Unfortunately, in applying that processing to the JPG, the camera makes many decisions which become 'locked-in', and unchangeable with post-processing. Fortunately, it's often possible to take advantage of both worlds. Many cameras offer a RAW+JPG save mode. Don't forget that the in-camera processing is a fundamental compromise between the manufacturer's engineering and marketing departments. Which achievable vision will sell more cameras? Your artisitic vision is what matters in the end.

just make sure when u use the blower... the nozzle end didnt touch the sensor..
nothing to worry about if u using a good type of blower (the 1 dat has filter inside)..

send to service center only if u cant remove it by normal blowing lah...
as sig said... sometimes the dust wont budge coz it is a moisty dust..

try first la...

finally placed order for the 70-300G... hopefully can receive by this week...

see 1st page.. got video instruction by bro albert
