No. I tried fastest at 1/8000 also the same.
Nope. I'm not using "Quiet" mode. I suppose the "chap-chak" is like a swift thing, but mine is "chap ..... chak". I wonder if this is normal or something I configured? Won't be body fault gua...

Sounds like exposure delay mode.

1/800 400iso f/3.5, even with f/1.4 I can barely hit 1/800 indoors. And it looks like a ballroom to me, you need to be like 1/30s 800 or maybe 1600 ISO in this case with flash too.

When shooting RAW ... i notice once i imported into LR ...the color is not the same as i shoot it. Does LR do a basic editting first? I already set the white balance 'as-shot'.
Most of the times, my shot seems brighter/over-exposed once imported. I had to go and 'double click' each value to make it back to default. And clicking the auto tone just makes it under-exposed/darker ...

correcting the color and white balance again is very tricky ... sad.gif

Let's say if you shoot Vivid default mode, you can actually configure LR to apply Vivid processing to your image. It will look 99% similar to your LCD smile.gif. But if you start tweaking saturation etc then it will look different...

so you are saying you are encourage to shoot in normal and PP the raw file to vivid?

It doesn't matter what picture control you shoot, because when you import to LR you basically define what settings you want.

Example of condition where lighting tricks AWB and custom balance won't work due to lighting condition. This is why RAW comes in handy biggrin.gif.

Nowadays, I shoot JPEG. Even lighting goes wrong, still can change tongue.gif
Thanks to that software !

You can adjust the WB and Hue for JPEG, but it doesn't look as good as RAW.

The software I use, can save JPEG back to NEF. Not as good ? tongue.gif

Interesting, name of the software?

But I still don't buy the idea, that 'NEF' converted from JPEG will not retain as much details and data compared to the real 12/14 bit NEF. Its still a JPEG in NEF shell.

eh i don't think you can.
jpeg is compressed and NEF is uncompressed.

example:

jpeg = 100ml of concentrated juice to make to 1 litre of drink
NEF = 1 litre of concentrated juice to make to 1 litre of drink

so it's impossible to convert jpeg to NEF. the other way round can.
coz when you took the photo, there is only that much of information, where to create new information?

Nice one smile.gif

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.
*
You can change WB/Hue for JPEG in LR and ACDSee, I think it is also possible in the latest CaptureNX, whoever uses CaptureNX here can help to verify?

I too have 2 bags. One is a sling and another is a backpack style biggrin.gif.

Try Capture NX and see. You can save back to .NEF

Like what I said, it is still a JPEG inside a NEF nutshell. Basically it is still a JPEG.

Even NEF also got a few level of compression, 12-bit and 14-bit. Compressed, Lossless and Uncompressed. JPEG is only 8-bit if not mistaken, no way it could have retained all the details from a real NEF.

if only you know how compression work you wouldn't impress by how JPEG converted to .NEF. tongue.gif
believe me. you don't know how it work.  tongue.gif
*
That is what I'm trying to say here, the information once compressed it is gone. Details is lost, there's no way you can recover it since the data is not there already :S.

No big deal, even third party software like LR can do it. It just doesn't look as good compared to adjusting from the real NEF.
