haha. im not the 1 bought the dslr but i was the 1 giving the info bout william having extra a100

my sis took the a200 so hav to pinjam from my fren the a100.

i took few shots of the same scene. up to +1 EV. still look abit dark. forgot wat metering i was using. camera not wit me now. maybe later i post some of the pics

using my 75-300, but only need at 75mm

u can set the quality to 100% (less compression).... but i usually use 85% where it has less noticeable compression noise... but still noticable if u are pixel peeper, but trust me, a good photographer will critic/comment on ur composition, not ur compression result.


*edit: wahhh, i fell in love with prish resizer, isnt he the same author as the powertoys resizer?

Using normal GP 2300mAh, can last arnd 400++ shots at 1/1 power.

Plan to get some Sanyo Eneloop batts soon.... older GP batts dying.... been using them for Wii Remote, X360 controller, Wii Board and now F42....

Lucky still have 6pcs 2500mAh GPs for rotation and backups...

yea...hehhee..glad u like it...its SUPER convenient! hahahahah ...i dont know about the author...i got this program like 5-6 months back when i upgraded from xp...dem frus coz vista din hv power tools...

most ppl will know that photos uploaded to internet will have additional noise wan...but a good photo is a good photo

upload blur blur one better, noone can steal ur work later... ahahahaha

Go to Menu, u can set the Flash Compensation to -2. This will lower the power of the pop up yet can still trigger the wireless.

To lower the power more, get the pop up diffuser. It works very well on the pop up flash, for times where yr flash is batt dead....

Added on October 29, 2009, 1:02 amThe 430EX size does not fit the F42 very snugly, there are much loose space for it to fit nicely. I have tried both stofen and lambency type. Ended up buying the cloth with internal reflected type from Uncle Chin - Studio Zaloon.

anyone knows how to make CS4, when save as jpeg, it auto add _copy behind the original filename?

Tripod + very strong elastic rubberband.... does wonders....

If studio or room set up, why not use a table or chair with the flash's stand?

ahhaha..i come to ur rescue again..

file...save as.. then check "copy"...

but if u started to add layers, the default save as is .PSD, so when i select jpeg option, they disable the copy tickbox >.<

Just got a sony a200 last few weeks. New user here. Pls enlighten me on taking photos.

Im having difficulty taking night shots, could someone enlighten me here. What aperture and shutter speed?

oh..ier.......photoshop cant save jpeg as a copy when there is layers....ull have to merge the layers then save then ctrl z .....

i would say, ALL camera under rm6k, would have trouble shooting night shots... (except A550! revolution! rm2999 only, come come upgrade~ spread the poison~ okay kidding), your best shot is to grab a flashgun. once u get a flash gun, whatever lens u going to own,purchase or free gift, will benefit from the flash

apperture, u always need as wide as possible, F1.4 is the widest in sony market. SS determine the motion blur of subject, the faster the better, but u need it to balance out the exposure, ur last option is to pump up iso to 3200 or higher...

I think i know wat you mean.. In Cs3.. when u hv layers.. but u choose to save in Jpeg.. it will automatically add the COPY behind the title to prevent overwrite ur original file.. So the Cs4 actually doesnt work like that???

apuuuu, i own a slow pc la... die la like that, then i better downgrade to cs2 balik... cs4 already so lagging with the so much simulation effects... sigh... but cs4 engine now is soo much powerful and accurate... i think the only way is to manual type in _copy everytime lor.. >.<


cs3 crashes often on me, so i use back cs2 last time, never think of upgrading to cs4, because they say the interface is like cs3 (which i dont like at all) but now, due to the photomerge and HDR function on cs4 is farrrrrr superior then cs2, no choice to use it, also i need the camera raw convertor, but i realise, sony original one is better, as they give more proper color output when export to jpge then adobe raw...

yea..probably..ahahha....im running cs4 too...a lot smoother than cs2....definitely....but some things are new.....

i upgraded coz photoshop got this annoying thing when u try to add text to a photo...sometimes it just WONT.... finnaly overcame that problem ... hahaha

oh yea..im running a gtx260 with 4g ram and quad core processing also the photoshop lag when rendering blur and reducing noise...

i lag even when i drag the photoes >.<

which should i get?

a raynox dcr250 OR Sony HVL-F20AM? pls pls tell me... thanks.

aiyak...............................
in that case....i pity u...
