 waitttt,... do u guys know how people really use DSLR to shoot marco?i. use MF (some people can use AF because they have steady hand) ii. set to a focus distance or a macro size u wan eg. 1:1 or 1:2 etc iii. knowing after u set the focus, it should have a focal/focus plane (area that is in focus...) iv. u actually uses your body to move front and back to find the subject until in focus. v. snap. hahahahahahahahaha. not just us, a lot pro does the same. |

chiahau: i think #1 a little too harsh. i like the light from the left in #2 but there's a little flare. i think if u use lower flash power level will get a better portrait for #2. my 2 cents

SHAM,what is another port below the remote port????direct power supply is the one cover with the rubber below... sadly for me, theres no CF card for this model.as what can i see in the picture and the fastest card in the world is CF card (not SD) and i already invest 16gb CF card for the new 24mp a77 |
