hi, just got myself a used a300 blush.gif
i still can't figure out how to control the EV in manual mode. it seems like it is automatically selected by the aperture and shutter speed. do you guys have any website that giving guides on controlling EV or if u willing, please write a short tutorial for me tongue.gif

thanks all sifu!!

p/s: can add me into the list?

shoot with programe mode for 2 weeks first, get a hang of it first. for exposure, it not that hard, follow the 'meter'

*assuming u are really new to DSLR, did u turn the dail? u can only set the apperture and shutter speed when in M mode. other is semil manual which the AI still control the rest of the settings
*** i think i gotten what u mean, that it correct, changeing ss and aperture = changing EV, it is not control by the AI, it was controled by u tongue.gif. u dont actually set the EV + or -, u do it by change fast or slower shutter speed.
*
but i not sure how to read the arrows thingy, i read the manual but still couldnt figure it out. and i know that there is this locking the exposure function, but i dont really get it.

is it normal for a300 to take 3-5 seconds to process the image after i snap? and does the macro filter actually useful for macro shot?

Thanks!

was it a long exposure? if it was just a normal exposure i think its not normal

nope... normal exposure like 1/60, 1/80

QUOTE(Kul | Mo0 @ Nov 8 2009, 08:23 PM)
It is normal if you're using a slow CF card. (: And the macro filter? If its raynox its useful. But if it's those +4 or +8 filters I doubt they help alot in macro. (:
*
how to define slow?

QUOTE(v1rtual @ Nov 8 2009, 08:23 PM)
let me guess, are you using kingston compact flash 8GB??
on my A350, it is slow..takes around 2seconds sometimes
*
yea, kingston 8gb 133x elite pro... is it consider slow? sad.gif

i think u shot at iso above iso800 and activated the NR on high iso, thus it delays about 1-2 maybe 3 second on saving.

marco filter, not really, marco adapter like raynox, great. but best and superior still the whole lens itself.


*
nope... shot at iso 100 or 200 only... probably is the CF card problem sad.gif

viewing on my iphone now..it doesnt really looked under exposed..but i'd probably recompose the shot..don really perfer to put my subject at the center when its not that well balanced..but again..its subject to the photographer preferrence/ creativity..

to get url from flick..click All Size on top

QUOTE(porkchop @ Nov 10 2009, 04:34 PM)
lencent, nice capture of the colour, but the background abit distracting..maybe if u zoomed in more or walk closer to the plant making the plant at least 80% of the picture, then u can get a more bokeh'ed background and less distracting one.....currently from where i see the plant is like 30-40% of the picture.....

QUOTE(ieR @ Nov 10 2009, 06:43 PM)
nice!!! well, the BG is under, but that doesnt bother at all, the subject is proper exposed. maybe is ur monitor, i assume everyone thinks it's fine biggrin.gif

comments noted, will try again next time smile.gif thanks!
