Thanks! i get what u mean.

Nikon build in motor will only be triggered if there is an AF drive from lens. If the lens have build in AF motor, body AF will not be used at all since there is no screw head of the AF drive on the lens for the body's motor to drive on.

Lately, seems many "interesting" question?

lol. Time better spent discussing how to take a better picture rather than gear talk

I'm hoping to buy an SB-700 in the coming months. any of you bought one recently? if yes, where from and at what price? thanks in advance sorry if this has been asked before, but it's a question that varies with time as prices change from time to time.

OK, let's get this back on track.

Can we start with how to get accurate skin tone? Some of my photos taken in an event recently turned out to be yellowish like kena sunset sun

I tried to use spot metering, but then it'll overblown the photo. Any guide and tips on this?

RM990 @ Foto Selangor. May able to get further discount but then it lies on your negotiation skill.

Actually how to do this?

you mean like this?



use JUMP la XD

The yellowish should be due to WB. If you don't want to mess with Custom WB and those sort, you can try to correct the WB in LR, and also using the recovery slider.

That is possible with spot metering as it meter for the spot, if the spot is dark, it will increase the exposure. You can use EV compesation, but this means to review and re-take, Or you can use backeting?
I face this problem too, due to changing situation, some photos get overblown and since it's an event, for moving or scene which you can't always review the picture, it's bad. So, I switch back to M mode.
The bad part of M mode is, if the lighting changes drastically during the "duration", it'll affect your photo unless you notice it and quickly adjust, but this is kind of hard (example: Wedding March In, you can use M mode, when you take the people behind the couple later, which doesn't have spotlight, the will turn out darker than the couple shots).

i always set M , 800 / 1600 ISO , shutter speed 1/40~50 , TTL flashgun then good to go

Hmm.. I never judge by skin color (in post processing) I usually try reference the eye color, slight milky white and the skin I just leave it. But I see many of my friends like to make the skin a lighter a few shades, esp for female portraits. got to learn how to to that one of these days...

I assume you're using flash under tungsten lighting?

Use tungsten gel (or any type of gel to match ambient lighting) and set to tungsten WB on the camera. Adjust accordingly in RAW.

ok..i found a tutorial..
here you go...

i using canon 550D , ISO 800 / 1600 isn't that bad la actually , shooting indoor normally at that ISO also , summore shooting group pic mostly using f4~5.6~7.1 , seldom use lower than f2.8

Depends, sometimes, you want the ambience/mood, sometimes, you want the skin color; especially if you're shooting people (especially girls); Imagine their face turn out yellow or orangy or dark when they have fair skin?

And the ISO is not really high especially if you're shooting wedding reception indoor where it's low light, and you're shooting group which requires smaller aperture most of the time.

If you underexpose, then it will be worst, the noise will be more apparent and muddy. So, if you underexpose, you will think or have the mindset that the camera cannot go higher ISO, when in fact, it's not the camera's fault.

ghost month is near, if you shoot orange/ yellow skin girl and got result in white skin... habis lah
