wah, u got sb600 for backup somemore
i recently borrowed my fren 55-200,
bcoz of the range, my sb900 nid to give higher output flash, so 1st time experienced overheat
no choice have stop shooting for some time, missed quite a lot of shots

its kinda irritating when the flash overheat right? need to stop or switch off,but better than buying new bulb
wahh,u test sb-900 power ka? at 200mm is it?
mine overheat because shot in quite dark area using D40x with iso800

what makes a flash overheat? what happens when it overheat? what do we do when it overheat? turn it off? and how long do we need to wait? man... i'm really new in external flash

nissin di866, what is the faulty thing that needs to upgrade using software or things like that. what happen?

Added on October 20, 2009, 3:59 amabout filter, why do we need uv filter? some site was saying that it protects the lens. do we need to buy a filter for each and every lens that we have?

basically when you fire a lot, the batteries get overheat. when the batteries overheat, its best to cool it down. depends on the quality, some batteries can even explode if it overheats. when your set of batteries overheat, its best if you take it off until it cools down.

can't help with ur nissin problem

uv filters are use for protecting your lens. also used to prevent uv rays from entering your sensor, hence disrupting your picture. depends on you. if you think your lens is not worthy of having a filter, then maybe a cheap filter would do. if you have an expensive lens, say a good prime, you're better off with a uv filter, the cheap or pro one.

please correct me if i'm wrong

oh...er..how if we use more that 1 uv lens..it s bad?

wahh beats me, not sure about that

some say good for our camera...some say it just wasted ur money...
and some say...if want to take marco pic..we need to take out the filter..
correct huh?

for macro, i think there's close-up filters you can use

My friend (an old timer SLR user) said that too.

well, dun care whether it's a waste of money or what, it's worth buying to protect the lens. we wont know what's gonna happen. "better prevent then cure" right?

walao,so nice u having sb900 and sb600
nice weapon !
i am using sb600.so far so good for me !
if u got budget,go for nikon !! it worth what u paid

yaya,they should read the first page,below d60 body need afs lens to auto focus,if not afs lens manual focus only

since everyone is sharing bokeh,i also try some la,hehe

haha.. love the 1st pic but kesian that guy at the background tak dapat nampak muka. haha..

question: i heard ppl were saying that they r looking for a lens that can be able to shoot in low light. what does that mean? what are the things that we need in order to shoot in low light ambient? big aperture?

fast aperture, VR, VC, IS, OS or etc.

Oh the jargons, mind explaining in a little details?

VR,IS,OC i heard before..other that...what huh?

haha sorry.
fast aperture so big aperture, f/2.8 or bigger.
VR or something similar to prevent camera shake. in low light, shutter speed will be slower so camera shake would be easier, thus something like VR really helps.

oh ..ic..show if we take still picture..do we need to turn on vr?

not necessary.
some people have messed up their VR just cause they turn it on but they don't use it.

AFAIK, you should turn on VR if you have shaking hands (probably due to too much fapping ) and can't capture anything if it's turned off.

ooh, so have to look for the VR lens la. and fast aperture means anything bigger than f2.8. got it thanks.
