cause you sharpen the noise along with it... if you do processing... remove noise 1st then only sharpen is much better.
*
so what setting do you use mostly?

contrast 0
sharpness +1
saturation +1

have been wondering how people sets their camera also hmm.gif

because the last time i attended the flash workshop at the same place, the uncle told me that the promotion they are giving only last the day itself
maybe the holiday deals is the one last till 30Nov?

better make a call before going the shop laugh.gif

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!

For those who are eyeing the battery in the Tan Electronics offer (during the 2 recent Sony workshops), pls be aware that the batteries are NOT ori Sony branded batteries.... i have seen the battery, and if u look carefully at the flyer, u will notice the difference in marking compared to Sony's ori batt....
*
You mean they are selling fake SONY branded battries? or no brand battery but compatible with sony DSLR?
