Question , i use AF-C , Dynamic Area and used AF-ON can recompose my subjec?and that can make me get sharp image?(Assume my exposure correct)Thanks for teaching me.

1. no use recomposing with dynamic area, unless of cos the subject when recompose is not within the area.
2. why dont u use single point? why trust the camera to focus on what u want when it might not?
3. and AF-ON is the same as pressing ur shutter half-way to focus and will track in AF-C...if u had even tried u would already know.
if u want to recompose in AF-C, what u need to use is AF-lock.

Single point ? But i tot only used for shooting still object?

Use single point , will out of focus wor , if the object moving

hmmm i think nvm lar , thanks for teaching. I will try to find answer in google thanks u
*
seems to me u dont understand what AF-C is.
C = continuous, as long as the point is on the subject it will focus.

eg. the pic below is AF-C, single point, but moved to the right side focusing on the stomach so it will be on the player.

Everdying, thanks for clearing me. I tot you talking about AF-S. My bad for not understand you.

So with AF-C+Single point , i can recompose my subject right ? Let say i am using center focus on my subject which is on middle in my viewfinder , so i wan to recompose it to right. So is that works ?

in what situation using dynamic area?
*
u cant in AF-C and single point, cos once u center focus on ur subject and move, and since its AF-C the focus will then readjust to whatever is in the new center...unless u first AF-lock and then recompose.
if dont want to use AF-lock, either move the focus point with the D-pad, or use AF-S.

Alright thanks you very much Bliz.

Everdying thanks you again

I use my hand test just now. Using AF-C + Single Point. As long as you half pressed and follow the subject then u will stay in focus. While if using AF-C + dynamic, if my subject leave the point where i focus , it will select a new point to focus it izzit?
*
first wat do u want to shoot? and what camera are u using?
of cos if ur camera got more focus points, it makes it easier to track.
else just make sure u pan better.

On a side note, the photo composition is excellent. If just to nitpick, the M word on Malaysia is slightly cut off. Else, it would be perfect.
*
took about 3-4 points to get that angle cos behind is of cos the blue backboard with the stupid kayu line judges there.
i have shots with the M in full, but its either shes right smack in the middle, doing a forehand, or over-stretched on the backhand.

so the only way is for some photoshop magic...the M still abit off, lazy to do anymore tongue.gif

Shooting like people doing their things . playing around , interacting. (All the movements can be predicted.) Unlike sport or bird shooting.

Using nikon d3100 with only 9 focus point =(
*
I thought d3100 got 11 focus points.
Anyway not sure how fast d3100 can track, but u should explore its 3D-tracking feature if its just 1 person etc...
else i would just use single point af-c...unless u really trust one of its 11 points in dynamic to actually lock on to what u want to focus.

Let say im shooting stationary thing. I use af-on to focus , then i release the af-on but my focus does not lock one . Is it because my camera AF-on different with high end camera body? (i set my AE-L,AF-L button to become AF-On)

----------------Info---------------------------

How to use the AF-On technique in the field

To emulate single-servo mode (focus/recompose/shoot)

Place the active AF point on your subject
Press the AF-On button to acquire focus
Release the AF-On button to lock focus
Recompose and shoot
To focus continuously on a moving subject

Place the active AF point on the subject
Press the AF-On button
Keep the AF-On button pressed to track focus while simultaneously pressing the shutter release
Remember to initiate the VR system (if your lens supports it) by half-pressing the shutter button prior to releasing the shutter.  Remember, VR takes about a half-second to stabilize, so you’ll want to anticipate your subject.

already said AF-on basically is replace the half-press of shutter to focus.

you still do not understand what is AF-C, and also AF-S.
time for u to go read the manual.

I feel that sling bags are more useful than bagpacks coz it's easier to swap lenses and take camera in or out of the bag. Though I have a bagpack coz it's nicer to carry around sweat.gif
*
that is why no one really has just 1 bag.
later on u realise ur backpack too much hassle just for balik kampung trips or go jalan jalan, then u will look for something smaller just to travel light...which will usually be a sling.

I think he's referring to Capture NX 2? Anyway, I don't think you can change WB and Hue for JPG in Capture NX 2. On the other hand, I heard that in Lightroom, it is possible.
I agree.

Yup. I have accumulated a few bags myself. Anybody know where's a good place to get Thinktank Photo's bags around KL/PJ? I know J-One has them. Anywhere else?


Added on March 22, 2011, 10:52 am

LOL. That's a good analogy.

mitmivec's shop has a few.
camzone in jaya one.
if u dont mind full retail, since most also sell full retail, just go straight to the distro www.hambone.com.my in PJS.

Hmm sorry my bad. I make you misunderstand

You look at the video , he said after release af-on , the focus will locked . That why i wonder why mine cannot lock one if using af-on . but using af-l can lock focus.

Maybe is the video maker mistake?

I just curious about this. I know af-on is act like half pressed shutter button but abit advanced of it.

How to use the AF-On technique in the field
To emulate single-servo mode (focus/recompose/shoot)

1.Place the active AF point on your subject
2.Press the AF-On button to acquire focus
3.Release the AF-On button to lock focus <--------i just wonder why mine af-on cannot lock focus one.
4.Recompose and shoot

I not asking about af-s and af-c anymore. I understand after u taught me.

Sorry ,y bad english , if you dont understand i try to rephrase again thanks u
*
single-servo mode = AF-S.
lock focus = lock focus on the subject at a FIXED distance, if the subject moves forward or backward just slap the subject and ask him to stay still.

if you're talking clients, the only thing that matters is the output lah. you may use capturenx, lr, transfer to film, rescan, photoshop, etc etc;

no matter what method you use oso can la as long as the output is nice, youre proud of it and the client likes it. biggrin.gif

there are clients who will reject you right away if you present them with JPGs.
especially those in fashion etc, and who print huge ads etc.

if ur talking about wedding clients etc, sure most of them dont care.

I think it's around 200-300 difference. I know 35mm f2 better but i'm happy with just 35mm f1.8 smile.gif

One thing I notice is when I use manual focus, it doesn't stop at the max/min focus point and I can continue to turn the focus ring (just that it's a bit harder to turn). Other 35mm f1.8 owner please clarify whether it's normal or not sad.gif

What's CA issue?
*
forgot how my 35mm was, but some lens the focus ring can turn 360.
so shouldnt be anything to worry about.
