Shutter speed 0.6sec ?
I think the shutter speed used is too slow (for handheld shooting). Hence, I believe the unsharp image is due to camera movements.

Rought guide for choosing shutter speed is 1/(focal length) sec
eg using lense's focal length at 55mm, shutter speed use 1/55 sec ~ 1/60 sec.

But with Sony's SSS (SuperSteadyShot), can use 2 exposure stops slower than the 1/60... eg 1/30 or 1/15 sec.

p/s: correct me if Im wrong.

Hi, anyone try to clean thier camera sensor diy? i saw albnok thinking want to have a try. can saw dust at F20.

PonG : Your F20 got dust? So what? LOL.

just want to ask weather can diy clean it or not.

can diy... see 1st page of this thread have video for sensor cleaning

Mo0, did he mean f/20?

@ahpingko
a slr need more sturdy one, if below 100, yes there is some, but not as sturdy as other. worry there will be shake

@pong
personally feel, if u think you always shoot at small aperture range (f/16 ~ f/36) den cleaning needed, of course u can take the chance to learn how to clean also.

I believe got... but better get a good tripod than a lauya one... add a few hundred more la for a better sturdy one.

Or can ask bro mOo if he want to sell his velbon (help bro mOo sell velbon so that he can get a benro tripod which is in his wishlist...)

Haha kesian moo. Banged left and right

yes, just get used unit A550. and found out take photo can saw dust.

Yeah, i saw the video. will try it.thks

I'm using cheap ballhead tripod. Got it for RM170 only. The Manbilly one..
Can hold my body+VG+flash so far no problem

Last time bought cheap2 one the RM50 one n whenever put camera on it~ not so secure lah
Takut later the tripod fall down, hancur kamera aku
Gara2 tripod RM50, hancur kamera RM3k

So my advice, buy sumthing that sturdy enuff
Kumpul2 duit dulu

my cap ayam also feels damn flimsy d...better spend around a 200ish tripod...at least u know ur gears will be secure enough...that is if u use tripod frequently....

Using Manbily too Sturdy and stable. need a screw hook to put it at the bottom so i can hang my bag to make it rock sturdy.

i'm using DigiEye Pro-288, bought new around RM150 from BB Plaza

Yah~ doesn't really matter lah the brand
As long as u feel secure

Lately the tripod becomes a frequent tool
Since I'm venturing into long shutter shots

hazril : bugger wei you. XD

lwliam : The digieye 288 ok ar? Seems nice and dont mind getting. (:

i planning to get that too....it is able to support alpha 550?..steady enough?...quality how?..got include bag?

talking bout tripod, shd i buy a rm200+ manfrotto travelling tripod (light weight, not really sturdy) or a digieye so called 'pro' tripod (bulkier, looks sturdy)?
