why arh?
because 1) QC 2) AF-S
else its a good buy! perhaps its my luck, ive tried the older ones (1750) and had focusing problem! pretty scared liao

have anyone here encountered problem shooting purple?
I have something to share here...picture were shot with flash, and WB set to flash, picture style set to standard

the camera failed to captured purple and made it blue instead.

lol, isit? i tried 3 monitors adi ...cadbury color is really light purple instead of this dark/bluish wo...juust wana share this becoz i hate the same problem when i was using sony last time but canon was pretty accurate

im talking about accuracy here....not saturation and vivid etc..

simple tweak of ur pic if u dun mind:

Better?

Does this look ok to u:



Make sure the white balance is correct, brighten the image...then u're good to go

IINM daylight WB is around 5000k ...flash is also around there...i used flash WB for the above shot...
as u can see from the pic, other colors were pretty accurate(look at the white, orange..brown etc..)the only weird ones are the purples...
thanks

thanks but WB shud be correct..look at other colors..
No matter flash bounce or direct...if other colors are correct, purple should be correct isnt it?
btw, i have "killed" most of the ambient light

=.=''.....meter till the only source of light is ur flash..done...

why turn off when ceiling is white? I have no problem bouncing under different ceiling colors such as white/yellowish...havent tried on green, blue..etc....

when the whole house is dark..what happens? main source of light is from ur flash right? so WB set to flash...u wont be wrong...
no need to trial and error....why i love flash so much is that my WB can be right almost ALL the time!need not to trial and error..

i get what u mean..but the pic i took was white ceiling...

no idea bout sb900 color temp over sb600 color temp.
If im not mistaken....once u attached a flash....the flash unit is smart enuf to tell the flash temp to the camera body. not sure if this work under both Auto and Flash WB or not...flash temp changes at different power....

nope....im just giving u an example...lol

in case any of u havent experience problems with purple..go try and u will get what i mean...
then google about "Purple objects are turning out blue" or something along that line...

some even said
"Purple hues are always a problem as purple is not a color of light but rather a color of pigment and the human mind"

google this:
"Do You Belive in Purple?"

I always shoot products and have no problem with other colors except purple....what i have to do to get the right color is to adjust the hue...its pretty troublesome but it seems to be a known and frustrating fact.

from my research, some says that some purple are not creatable with only red,green and blue filters like our camera...

Added on December 6, 2009, 5:48 pmif u know how ur flash works then any ceiling will work for u... get a huge bounce-card or a good diffuser helps too

why get sandisk? so expensive oh....Im using toshiba class 6 20mb..more than sufficient...coz i dont burst @ RAW mode

I like that!

Yeah, i prefer it to break down before warranty finishes...replacing shutter aint that exp right? splurge so much on a cam and take of the shutter sounds weird to me hahha..
my 2+ months cam hit 10k+ adi hahah

check post #3 in this thread:

1. Take a photo in JPEG.

2. Copy the JPEG into your computer.

3. Download Opanda IExif. Install it.

4. Open the JPEG file in Opanda IExif.

5. Find the entry 'Total Number of Shutter Releases for Camera'. The value represents the shutter count.

no you shouldnt!
Yes you should!

wow almost brand new......u sure ur camera is fungus free ar???? better check if it has fungal infection or no
well...time to shoot more!

nvrm, just post and get C&C hehe

my advise is to get nikon speedlight not because of the functions but more on the TTL.....i've used nissin di622 before and perhaps i am not good at it, the TTL isnt very accurate....nissin 866 is said to be super good but i still prefer to get a nikon one...

in regards of SB600...i am currently using it, why? coz its cheaper than sb900. its power its lower but its refresh rate is higher too. it is true that u cant possibly light up the whole hall and what u need is a good diffuser or a big bounce card to bounce the light lo....unless u wana fire ur flash XXX meters away....else, sb600 shud be sufficient...once u master it then maybe u wana upgrade it later? ive seen many who buy flash and store it in dry cabinet in the end...for me, i use my flash almost most of the time coz i like it

just my 2 cents....noob cents

extras are great but do you really need it is another point to ponder

if got money then need not to think adi....else start with sb600 should be good

yes,im poor hehe

flash head rotated 180 on both right and left? meaning? sb600 can turn left and right also.

purple fringing? D90 has Chromatic Aberration Correction ...

i got no money

I am contemplating whether to get a 1.4 or not too. I am having a 1.8 now! Hardly shoot at 1.8 la...always at 2 or 2.5...the only thing i dont like about 1.8D and 1.4D is the rotating front element. If you want 1.4...consider the sigma 50mm 1.4 HSM!

Added on December 8, 2009, 10:41 amNothing better to do....playing with bokeh lo...50mm f/1.8 shot at f/2.0
the bright circular bokeh is pretty distracting right? It is actually the reflection of lights...i already reduced the brightness of the bokeh there
