a33 is a good camera, but for me, i'll rather like the a55 over the a33.

why?
-it has the new sensor
-10fps vs 7fps
-gps tagging (useless for me)

but the a55 is out of stock for the time being. anyways, the a33 is good. yeah.

ok, thx for the adivce, can i know wat is the basic maintenance tools need to buy ?

Shop at malacca offer 1.9k stg btw lol.

Nothing to maintain. Until there is problem at least lol.

Shutter count? No need worry bout it.

Battery life is good enough for 1 day, if not, get a spare batt la.

anything i need to pay attention while buying the cam ??

black screen cause your aperture too small/shutter too fast, cant capture light.

cannot panning because your method/your settings/your AF mode is probably wrong in 1 of those area.

ok, so wat can i do to fix my problem ?
teach me pls...thx sifu..

Concept is.

Choose a suitable shutter speed e.g. 1/30 for marathon runner or what.

Use local AF n Burst mode. Select one AF point.

Wait for the person to come.

Follow the person till he reaches your AF point chosen.

Snap shutter away.

Or at least, that's how it sounded like.

Ok,will try when hav chance...
Nw i having problem to regidter my warranty on net...duno why...

Should be user problem. What you see in the EVF, is what you get unlike the OVF.

what i mean is your setting that you use when doing panning.

Its really depend on many factor. most people who want to do panning wont go as much as 1/100 shutter speed cause it might freeze the action. which is why some people went from 1/30 or even slower to get the blur background affect.

ISO is use to bump the exposure when your lens no longer can open wider than what your shutter speed is demanding.

the reason I want to know your setting when taking panning is to know which part you are doing wrong (IF only I can identify it tongue.gif)
*
the setting is 1/10 F10, iso 200...
quite dark, if i adj the aperture bigger thn more dark...

if new just start which aperture, shutter and ISO la..
shoot normal things and learn the setting..

why need panning.. etc where donno to start..
must read more and learn slowly.. unless super genius..
*
ya, i m now learning iso, aperture, and shutter speed...whn i ok, so nw trying to learn panning by understanding more....
whn i learn more advance things i will master it very fas ...even not perfect....but still 40% good 60% not good...

SO i m try to learn more advance settings thn the normal will be better whn in the learning process n keep compare why in advance lvl shoot like this...this is my learning style...learn hard 1st, whn come easy...will be better, learn easy whn go hard nid to learn all over again./...

i think you can make f5.6 to make it brighter... F10 for me is too small for panning (ok even i`m start to confuse explaining big small wide thingy when it come to aperture)

and bump abit of iso to 400 wont hurt much I guess..
*
ok, thx a lot...will try n see....i try many time resut is 40% work 60% no work..it seems like need timing for the movement...

EVF = Electronic View finder.

OVF = Optical View finder

Your A33 uses the EVF.

Ya, i understand jz to make sure the knowledge i have for EVF n OVF is not wrong...since i m new...so juz ask again..sry if i did any wrong...

Lol. Like this one la.
Am i bashing? I might have a harsher reply tone but I don't mean to bash. The user manual is really good, can teach alot.
You read, you can learn alot esp if you are a newbie.
Lol.

Sometimes, you just need to try and try and try. For newbie, i rather learn about composition, lighting and etc than panning.
*
lighting n composition still under learning process and understading process...
stillnot reli clear on this two yet...haha
