yea will only appear in Av or Tv if the camera cannot balance it...usually the easiest way around it is to use auto ISO.
if exposure compensation is used, it will always show the value its set in the meter.

interesting discussion...

need to know bout this metering, i still havent figured out how it works ;(

....................|..............................
overexposed | underexposed

and you just conclude your doubt

yeah was tempting to own 50 1.8D and having the built in motor. but now no more. maybe for tokina 11-16 only.

it shouldn't be blink blink. green dot has to stay there. if it is blink means it is close to focus.


for metering goes for + sign means more light comes to your sensor (over)
on the other hand for - sign means less light comes to your sensor (under)

Eh wanna ask you guys, how do you auto focus in the dark ? Cos when in darkness it's difficult to focus without any AF assist

I usually turn on the AF assist or using torch function of my phone

Lol lol ! Great idea ! Gotto find assistant then ! U wanna volunteer ?

no you don't need to have an assistant.
turn on the torch make it in focus, lock the focus change it to manual focus. then turn off the torch adjust the exposure then shoot.

What are you shooting in such pitch black darkness? o_O

Haha last night bday party was a pool party. Then after that condo mgmt switch off all the lights.... So it was tough to auto focus in such pitch dark darkness... any other suggestions ?

why cant u turn on the AF assist?

dont shoot.. enjoy the party~

Yeah, its just like a torch light

if you are expecting some candid shoot in low light. I'd say it's pretty hard lor..
flash? AF assist? torch.. all these things grab attentions

I did once using torch light.

Jz try my battery grip... But different from d90 one... So wana ask sifu for some help...

Can use d grip with a battery without using d body one...? Means izit able to use without a battery in d body... Jz one in d grip onli...

How long a battery can stay in d body...? Might plan to change and charge d one in d grip onli...

is this the original colour of the fish?
reminds me ultraman berial

this looks like syit. (sorry recently keep going toilet because cirit birit a bit...this reminds me ...euuuu )

video record?
i will go to video record if that's too dark...

Yes, can use 1 battery at a time only. Body or grip only also no problem. How long a battery can stay in body? As long as you want. LOL.

yea la, purposely molded from dodol

you devil!


anyway just back from BTS because parents come, i tried to poisoned my dad with D5100... but BTS dun have ...anyway just wan show new beginner body are easy to use compare to my D70s hehe...
D5100 can auto focus in video mode right?
my point to poison him compare to my D70s is...
1) dun have many buttons...all setting at menu there.
2) light weight, small body, better grip?
3) bigger view finder, nicer view finder, bigger coverage....dem i also wan to change body ...kena poison bek
4) bigger monitor, tilt screen
5) video mode, that's my point hehe... and ya i give him a good example... if use normal view cam, under bright sun light... LCD monitor is very hard to seen what you record so i tried to poison him with D5100 because got view finder if live view cannot use under strong light hehe
6) Price?
7) VR kit lens?

anything can add for this? wan poison him more hehe
because in before that he wan get a new camcorder, so when i saw D5100 release i think this is best chance to poison him this. hehe. (PS: he was nikon kaki before hehe)
