nashakir: fully MF but it is really easy to focus, because the DOF is HUGE. F8 can shoot from 2meter to infinite sharp

bro, u never read the manual ?
both setting for F58 and how to adjust Aperture in M mode is stated in the manual.
If u lazy to read the hard copy.. U can download a soft copy, use the search function in the Acrobat Reader. Go to the topic u wan to know.

F58.
1. TTL means Through The Lens, mean the in body eV metering still works and it relies on it. so it will Not Fire at full power. it will fire a light(little) flash for TTL detection before it fires the 2nd power to match the metering.
*if it fires at full power, check the contact on the camera flash hotshoe. it might be improper contact, thus ur F58 only recieve fire command, then it fires at full.
2. u can set to manual mode even in other creative dail mode (A, S, P mode). on the F58, press Fn till the menu comes up. press left 4 time till u reach C04, set to PASM, (u will see a little c pop up beside the hss word), now u can use manual at all mode, it is overwrited.
3. quick change, why do u need to change aperture and shutter speed at same time? pressing and hold the [+/-] buttom and turn the dail will change the other viceversa of aperture/shutterspeed depending what u set in the menu for the dail to run.
easy, cz boost the mirco contrast by little bit. and cz is ultra slimmer then B+W.

jus got my alpha 200 recently...1 noob question...how to check d sc?:swt:

now still exploring the a200 itself.jus shoot some pics over last 31st dec...after get used to it might get a flash and another lense to play2

I have something to ask guys , is it because my built in flash on the A300 is too low , so when I shoot using built in flash along with my cz 1680 it ll cause a black spot on the bottom?

There arent anyway to prevent that right?

removed d still the same. Aperture is at F8, tried without filter also same.. only happens to built in flash , external no prob.

Guess thats the reason why they hike up the flash height in the A2x and A3x series.

the flash is 1 year plus the reason of selling it is tat the person is changing to other brands... wat price is 50mm f1.8 around anyway? the cheapest flash price i can get in lowyat is 780.

i veli sien r~! got any shooting event???
