just now i ask the promoter about this and she pretty sure it charge, just not sure by how much... anyway thanks for ur info, will try and ask another outlet

do u know how much if done that outside?

hi guys...just curious and in dilemma...which one u recommend, nex 5 or nex 7? or nex c3 perhaps?

has this promotion just started? i bought the f3 2 weeks ago and all they offered was a RM500 sony alpha workshop >.<

If not mistake the promotion started since F3 launched, I have no idea how to spend RM500 sony alpha workshop as majority workshop is FOC, seldom to found out any workshop need to pay for NEX(please correct me if wrong)

This should be the latest promotion for hari raya,

Which come with RM400 workshop + RM100 vouchers.

hi pal... good day to everyone of you...
recently i got some questions with my new SEL50F18...
when i was using AF/DMF mode (with peaking feature), the lens sometimes focus at the wrong item... initially, i thought it is something to do with the focal length. But I turn to MF. I actually can manual focus to the subject i want when i standing at the same position. And the DMF function seems like AF only, when u "fine" tune too much, it will auto focus again for you...

can some sifu guide me how to use it? cos it is like keep on focus at wrong subject... LOL

Besides, i do set the camera setting to "flexible focus spot"... is it adjustment needed at that setting option?

You're supposed to half-press, let it auto-focus, then turn the ring.

Keep half-pressing it to keep it in DMF mode. If you let go of the shutter, and half-press again, it will auto-focus again.

oh thanks albnok... by the way, i read something as below:

i think i should set the flexible spot at middle... this will also affect the auto focus eh???

You could set centre instead of the flexi spot.

Flexi spot will be effective if u tell the camera where you want to focus, nex 5n could point the focus point by touching the screen, it will AF or DMF when you tune the ring. Flexi point will better if your objective not in middle.

Was at the service centre in The Curve to fix another camera, and when I asked one of the senior attendant, she said that it will be FOC as long as the camera is still under warranty.

Maybe you could ask directly at The Curve, since you would need to send it there as well for the cleaning service. Opens daily from 10am till 10pm, thus, very convenient..
There's another service centre in KLCC as well.

hi jimmy, thanks for your feedback... i will try that out tonight...really interesting camera to use..
by the way, this lens really incredibly sharp... do get one

I myself choose 5n becus of solid body and no flash attach, and smaller, but sometimes will miss f3, because of the flipping preview screen and flash when I do BBQ with friend at night, overall feel same, and they have better twin lens combination. That 16mm is useless unless u want to play fisheyes. So go for f3.

Added on July 30, 2012, 5:27 pmU just need adaptor to fit most of the branded lens, price from few hundred to thousand, LA-EA2 auto focus is fast but Somesaid its translucent mirror will reduce pict quality

LA-EA2 can perform like A77' AF speed, it pretty good for the fast focus

yup. one at tebrau jusco ,one at bukit indah jusco.

That lousy Tebrau Jusco SONY center, APA PUN TAK ADA! All I ask, all don't have! Haizz!

Hi Albert! Thanks for clarify this. I nvr tried any samyang lense before and this is first time I play with LIveview so dont know how it should work yet. Btw albert you have many experience with other lenses. In your opinion do you think there is any manual lens worth getting compare to the CZ24mm f1.8? If lets say manual focusing is not a problem. Budget about same with CZ. In term of sharpness and rendering quality while wide open. I actually have been looking for Voigtlander 35mm f1.2, but it is more expensive than autofocus CZ, but is there really difference in picture quality. There is no way i can test this lens. Assume comparing both lens at F1.8 (instead of 1.2) Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 is much compact but looking at the review the lens is not very sharp ... will it justify to get a manual lens more expensive than CZ 24mm? It is actually quite fun playing manual focusing on NEX, since I find nex tend to miss focus a lot more often compare to Alpha especially in low light.

Sound like another new series of Nex coming soon
