shooting fast moving objects, e.g. birds, children running... apart from panning technique (which i still havent really get the hold of it), wat other setting is needed in camera?
eg. AF mode (single, auto, continous), shooting mode (A,S,M), drive mode (single, continous)
my fps is only 2.5...(i know its slow)...

hello everyone , a300 for sell

haha. next year only la. what course you doing?

hmmm..i think they have enough people d gua? i see some of their shots using fish eye some more.

go out and shoot,shoot and experiment more shooting...thats the way i learn...learn the basics of ISO,shutterspeed and aperture...those 3 are related...

hazril: thanks bro...i did shot some flying birds...blur till i tot my eye was having trouble...haha haha haha...

need manual focus maybe?

MF to shoot bird nid superb skills....if not at the time u get focus, birds ady back home eat dinner...

i have bought the dslr for almost 2 years now,still my skill to shoot bird = lousy

i tried too with my 75-300...outcome really not nice...unable to focus in time...if wan to do MF, the focus ring abit hard to turn smoothly...and slow..

haha...if i tried MF, my eyes will be tearly, the birds will long b gone, n i might endup with some bird poo on my head..haha haha haha...

does faster fps make any difference in taking these fast moving pictures?

i use tammy 18-200mm.. so hard lorr... handshake all the way

yes..u can capture the best panning shots....in condition that u able to focus nicely...

Because Sony Built-In IS does not have the actual effect (image stabilizer) on the viewfinder but on the sensor so you will felt shaky when you use long focal lenses

On A33/A55 it is a different case because of the EVF? I found it does stabilize the shake when you half-press the shutter ...

all u need is just to push up ur ISO... gain faster shutter speed for bird shooting....

A55 + Tamrom SP90 macro = good combo?

but how to get fast focus lock??...i need fast focus....

personally it is a little hard to control...

A55 is very suitable for macro as u can fully utilise the EVF for macro shooting
