That thing should be AF-C and AF-S? forgot. saw it in a550 menu before this... single or continuous? something like that.

on the A100, there's M, DMF, AF-C and AF-A (DMF being Direct Manual Focus - where you can use as auto mode, then when the camera locks focus, it will disengage its focusing gear so that you can tweak the focus point manually)

there's 4 on the A700 - M, AF-C, AF-S, AF-A

manual, continuous, single, auto (respectively)

just new about sony dslr any one have problem with sony dslr ?? i might geting myself one sony dslr soon..............

go get it, you'll never regret.. you've got a whole forum here to help u... sony no problem...!!! make.believe

i just wonder why canon didnt have 1.5x APSC.. maybe canon user can explain more..

MechaHerc : Yea but they do have 1.3x Quite nice wei. In between FF and 1.5x.

From the way i see it, there could be 2 reasons. One, being the design on EF-S lens is suited for 1.6x.. The other one is coz Canon designs their own sensors as opposed to Nikon that subcontracts their sensor manufacturing to Sony. It could be their technology is optimized when using 1.6x crop.

my New Haul has Arrive!!! the most expensive lens i ever buy this year, the 70200G!!!

bye bye 70200G! Helo more responsibility, married life and future kid(s)

Again, the plead for EXIF data. Please let it be known that EXIF data is TOTALLY useless for anyone else and for any other moment except for the exact moment that the original picture was taken.

All you need to understand about ISO, shutter speed and aperture is how they work together to get you a picture with an exposure level and DOF that you would like without introducing handshake into the image.

EXIF is totally useless because:

1. You will NEVER, EVER be in the same situation like when the original picture was taken.

2. It will be totally inaccurate if the picture has been post edited in ANY way.

3. You will probably be using a different lens or a different focal length which will give you a different DOF.


So instead of clamoring for EXIF data, it would do you more good if you spent the time learning about composition, lighting and developing your eye to 'see' images around you.

Totally agree to what shootkk said. No point memorising all those settings. Nothing teaches you better than hands on experience. (:

Welcome to married man club

+1 unless it helps to point out faults in an image

Looking at EXIF data to learn and as a starting point in learning IMHO is OK.
I dont know about others, bu I too learn by looking at EXIF data.
