3rd pic..chinese garden ??

the jumping shot..the flash like a lil bit too harsh for me..

dude u really need to go thru ur manual again..it might b bored to read thru the whole book...but since u having issue with Av Pv M modes..just read the particular sections..it shd b easy enough to understand..at least the question in bold should be easily found in manual mode section..

for ur 2nd question..try what guoki said...try to understand the exposure triangle(iso/aperture/shutter speed)...the near/far issue was due to MFD..every lens has it own minimum distance to focus..if u wanna go nearer than that(without buying new lens)..u can try close up filter/raynox.....cant focus on sky??well..thats user issue and i thought lwliam just answered this question in his No.4 ?

p/s : btw..u can stil shoot if ur camera not focused..go to menu..change the priority to "release"..instead of "AF"

the low key shot works for me...love that one ^^

how much more exp is sigma 50mm compare to sony one?

i stil prefer the play/delete buttons on the left side...my right thumb is too short to reach it anyway(*assumption*)..

@moo
wow..nvm..stick to my 50mm =D

change ISO thru FN ?? hmm...

yea..the joystick doesnt look like anything new to me..its around the same(or exactly the same) with my 850..

haha..when u found the right camera..u'll learn to deal with it....imagine i dont even have liveview on my a850..not to mention tilt lcd or wadever.. =p

back on my a300 days..i almost use liveview n the tilt lcd function on 70~80% of my shots...
