the stabilizer systems are actually designed for handycam or camcorders... it is meant to keep your camera as steady as possible even if you are running or jerking...

the point here, the DSLR as full time shooting will be difficult as it is not ergonomic as the handycams... therefore, its best used with stabilizer system, and when it is used with the stabilizer system, the ergonomics does not seem to matter much anymore...

Maybe you call up Sony CIC at 1300 88 1233 for details... select the warranty dept.

aiyer... they say need to write a letter and fax it to them... but I'm nowhere near the previous owner leh... hm....

same here.. bought a lense from sum1 in the net.. so if i ever wana change the ownership.. have to write an official? me and the previous owner?

Next time get the previous owner to prepare a letter or get seller to sign on blank piece of paper hehehe...

Nope... just the seller... but in the letter needs to provide both you and his/her details which is Name, IC and signature...

hahaha... might probably so...

These are test i did on my A700+ Tamron 1750 F2.8. all photos taken using iso 400 , F2.8, 1/50-1/60 sec, AF Single, Spot Focusing. No lock focus n recompose technique are used. I try take multiple shots after i detect the photo has d problem.. n i continue trying to take more of the same subject, even i take 10 photos (not continuous) it oso result the same. Center white Square i PP to make sure thats where i spot focus On












Under the above situation... can a F2.8 lens actually perform without messing up d focus? Or is my subject too small for the SPOT focusing to focus accurately? ?? Or F2.8 cannot be use for this kind of situation ?

Some potential setting that might cause d problem: I am using "Fast AF" instead of "Slow AF" din know i can change tat until just now. im Using Continuous Advance Hi instead of Single Shot advance..

u still selling sony alpha stuff?

the 'tanda' family?

tanda = mark

whoah~ gotta have quite a sum of $$ to keep it continuingly progressing eh~

Sorry sold 55200 can keeping beercan. (: *ehemGEAVITYehem* (:

clivengu; it's a common issue i guess, like me, although not A700, got the excate same backfocus issue, everything behind would be uber sharp while my focused subject is blurred. and i send it twice to sony malaysia, and they declare they fix it, and they DID NOT.

MemorableStudios: are u trying to use DSLR for HD video? pardon me, but isnt DSLR video mode has NO-AF?

u mean it is the Camera body problem not d lens problem?

Congratulations Kul | Mo0!

Braynumb: You could join Uncle Albert (I am legitimately an uncle).

clivengu: Try the Tamron with your A100.

guys..lets say i bought a CPL filter...am i right to say that..it could be placed on my lens most of the time(totally replace the normal UV filter)..or i shd use my UV filter as normal..only place the CPL when i feel its needed(probably for IQ related issue..or scared it spoilt due to wear n tear)

Albert.. The way i do the Test on the lens has no problem right? i mean the subject size on SPOT focus.. etc.. no extreme lighting from d back of d subject that cause difficulty in focusing..etc

Shall i set to "Slow focusing" instead... i will go OneUtama tonight to try shooting using my Kit lens n oso with A100 to check...

No. It is not wise to replace a UV filter with a CPL. The CPL will cut around 2 stops of light! This can sometimes make you miss the shot in some situations. It'll interfere with the AF as the light gets cut so no, use the CPL as and when it's needed. Else go with the UV or go naked!!! (I mean the lens, ok? )
