normally CF card would be faster than Memory stick.
Sandisk CF Ultra 3= 200x ~ 20MBps, much faster than MSPD 2 (15Mbps) note the MBps n Mbps . Unless u got the HG version ~ 15MBps.

can use the SONY Image Data Converter bundled in your CD. U can download the latest online.
Or u can use Rawtherapee or Google Picasa. All I mention here is free.

achew: For the A850, you could work in Wide Area AF as it uses the extra hidden AF Assist sensors. If you find that it still cannot lock, point at the center and press down on the middle of the joystick to use the center AF point - this will definitely focus.

That said kids are hard to shoot, so don't worry. I would have gone wider on the shots with the kids and cake (and take from above, to get both the kids and cake in almost the same plane of focus.)

Good shot of #1 though, it's often hard to get kids to look at the camera!

I use 90% 0.3 pixels for sharpening fine detail, and 22% 33 pixels for increasing general contrast and pop.

Hahaha any of you guys doing dingenius3's wedding? =p

Thanks . Nice but I like a700's body and design . Look more tough , good built quality and a900 alike

A700 is a semi-pro body already... and more expensive..

Hi, nice color... may I know what type of software and setting you use?

Oh... so I think I better use the voucher for other things...

when ur lens will arrived?

if i use "wide"..the camera would try to catch the focus point on the | | at the sides right? im kinda used to the center point as i could exactly tell the camera what i wanna focus..instead of letting it to guess >.< ...so not very sure how does "wide" works..lol


last night it really frustrate me a lil bit...coz the kid just cant stop moving..and i have thousands of hands holding digital camera around me..sometimes when i press the shutter..den i realized..suddently got 1 hand come into the frame..zzz

isnt that technique style about 80% of what i just did on the above photo? having the light-source from above. u can do it with wireless flash setup, or studio light, or DIY lightning.

low key???

go darker place..flash on the face..or use a lamp to light up the face..AEL there n shoot?

TQ! GONNA TRY IT

AElock dont really do much. if u using flash, the TTL will auto detect. if u use lamp, use liveview to check the amount of light, use spot metering (on the face, local metering will to too), use the EV to adjust the tone u wanted, then the rest is up to photoshop.

I guess Photoshop is not needed.
Low ISO 100-200, Dark place, Small aperture & Wireless flash / other light source . Shoot.

usually when i wanna shoot something like that..i would shoot in full manual(exposure n flash)...trail n error 2-3 shots..would get the correct setting eventually..

if we use spot metering..what if the object is not at the center?

photoshop..i normally use to increase the contrast..unless the light source is really bright..else background usually would be quite dark already
