Oh yea guys, something to ask here =)
I'm new to bracketing mode, few days ago i tried using bracketing in A mode, it should come out with 3 pictures, with one underexposed, one normal exposed and one overexposed right? But I got 2 normal exposed, one over.

The -2EV looks just the same with 0 EV =X I usually use M mode but Manual can't bracket. is this normal?

Mine included in package.... I got my package really really cheap la from matta, that's y I took tour, RM600 5D4N 3 meals included.... when I walk into my hotel (Best Western Kuta) den i notice it cost 750,000 rupiah per night, which is nearly 300rm/night.

The bird was shot handheld without tripod, u don need tripod with sufficient lighting, I think it's around 150mm, not 200mm. With VR, it wont b a prob, if u use those tamron without VC, it will kill u...

Added on July 7, 2010, 3:03 pmI bracket using A mode. Continuous 3 shots, 1st normal, 2nd under, 3rd over, if not mistaken.... correct me if I'm wrong, nvr try M mode though.

i can bracket with M mode and always do so. just need to set the ISO, aperture and shutter speed, then when you take the bracket shots, it'll adjust shutter speed accordingly. maybe in A mode, bracketing cancels out the auto shutter setting? just guessing here.

Owh in M mode it will adjust shutter speed when bracketing? Great, will try that later, cuz I'm not really confident with A mode =X

Yeah, i get that as well.....sometimes i get only 2 shots instead of 3. But i find that, sometimes -2EV, u'll only get 2 shots but using -1EV at the same spot, u'd get 3 shots. I think it's probably something to do with underexposing it too much and it becomes too dark to snap a pic...u know how sometimes there is a notice that 'Subject too dark' when in A mode and it doesn't let u take a pic,maybe the -2EV emulates that.....just noob guess.....haha


Wow, good tradeoff for rm600......i got my package at matta fair as well, one of those buy 1 free 2 packages for rm599.....so i'll be flying to 3 diff places, guilin,bali n phuket...hope can take nice nice pics!

Waaaaa...... wat u mean buy 1 free 2 package?? SO nice? u buy which place free where? Guilin free Bali n phuket? Juz free and easy package or air ticket? don mind to share...

Lolz.....kinda off topic already.....hope ppl don't mind la ya

They didn't mention buy which one free which one, but it's go 3 places for the price of 1.....there are several other packages as well......mine probably is buy Guilin free bali n phuket i guess, pay for ground arrangements, meals, hotel, tours (guilin), for bali n phuket, everything same as guilin except no tour so it's free n easy lah.....air ticket sendiri kao tim, luckily i got those cheap......

Ohh.... I see.... muz catch those package next matta fair dy.... lol the trip I got for bali really laughing so happily when I got everything as expected, coz when u buy cheap package, u kinda afraid things doesnt goes as expected!! Airfare I took MAS 2 way which is around 270 only, lol.... So after U go this 3 damn nice place, rmb to shoot as much as u can, if I were u, I would get a wide angle instead ( If u don have one la) these place r full with nice scenery, nothing much to zoom at

huh d5k can do bracketing and continuous 3 shots? automatic?

Ya, i also worry that the hotel not so good, but after going to the phuket trip, it's ok actually I heard that when coming back from Bali that time will kena airport tax bout rm50 is it? I got 2 way air ticket via airasia to bali for rm25 only.....hehehe But no $ for wide angle.........wan to buy 55-200 also need to think hard and long

Yup, can bracket but max +-2EV only and only 3 shots

D90 also max +-2EV and 3 shots only. If can 5 shots then best T__T

Ohh.... When I wanna book for Air Asia, all those promotion 1 full jor, left those expensive 1, so MAS was like very cheap dy.... I think Air Asia 1 way oso 250+ when I wanna book, I oso no$$ to buy wide angle, lol.... so get 55-200, I bought mine 3 month old for 680 with receipt n everything, haha.... juz use 18mm as wide angle la.... actually 18mm is quite wide dy, juz some situation needs to go wider to capture more in the frame, like my pics at the cliff, haha....

U just keep 150,000 rupiah, u dont count in RM, n juz change rupiah, don need any usd!!

so, that's mean my d3k also can do. am i right?

U must read ur manual book..... U dont keep it in the box......

lol... alright

Read a nifty trick somewhere in a magazine before that after u set to +-2EV bracketing, set teh exposure value to +-1 also.....and u'll get +-3EV at both ends......so it's total range of +-3EV and u get 5 shots, 1 extra on each end of the exposure

No wide angle then need to shoot panorama style and cimbine it together using software liao....the poor man's wide angle, haha

Ooo, so need 150k rupiah for the airport tax coming back.....must remember not to spend all,thanks for the tip!

If i'm not mistaken....cannot

Oh nice trick! Will definitely try that, thanks =D

Waa.... good extras for us if the magazine info really works, have u tried it? lol....

Combine panorama shots ma fan lor.... need to use tripod to do that rite... din read any info on this kind of software oso

OMG you guys post too fast, I cant look for the post I've posted last night...

Lol, i haven't tried yet but theoretically it really does work......u'd have 2 sets of bracketed photos using the method. 1 set -3ev until +2ev and another set -2EV until +3EV so end to end it's -3EV to +3ev. Those duplicates in the middle ones, just pick either one lah

A fren of mine is using PTGui to combine the panorama and he's using handheld....looks good!
