as long as u don't open any screw of the camera, the build in calibration doesn't void the warranty.

what you called me tongue.gif tongue.gif

here is mine every 1st macro attempt. my though in manual focus is very difficult although peak focus and magnify view are available. in this shot, i was use peak focus in tripod, it seem i still did not proper focus on the fly's head. with maginify view, it is too slow and available time to snap b4 the bug fly away and this must be done with tripod, hand held in magnify view feel dizzy.

look like sp90 unable to snap the fly eye and to do so it need to extend with raynox 250?

as far as i can remember... everyone says Flash is bloody important.

when you have own a FF body, 5DMK3, D800 or any better FF SLT (A99 etc), I think it is different say since in dinner ballroom or wedding dinner, shopping mall low light condition environment, still can obtain very nice picture with more natural ambient tongue.gif

I disagree. Shooting an event without flash is difficult. To compensate, you push the ISO up off the scale and image quality suffers. To blend in ambient, you just have to balance your flash with your ISO.

Besides letting you capture the moment without risk of subject or hand shake, having a flash with a bounce card also enables one to add catchlights into the subjects' eyes as well as offer fill lighting to lift shadows. There are lots of times when the light coming from directly above casts deep shadows across the face and leaves the eyes in shadows. Catchlights brings a subject to life. There's a lot to the saying that the eyes is the window to a person's soul, you know?

It's not about how clean the high ISO can be using any particular body. Like I said, photography is all about light so you will need to cast your subjects in the best possible light.

If you are not convinced, try PP this shot and take away that 2 dots of white from her eyes in this shot below and see if you can feel the difference:

I did not attent to tell apsc body is not good or large aperture prime is not good or flash gun is useless. I clearly understand what you trying to say because as i use f2.8 1650 in dinner ballroom it is suck when I go beyond iso1600, the noise is something myself dun like anymore.

I just to share my fren experience which is had shared to me (true or not I unsure), he is d7k user and have move to 5dkm3 with f2.8 lens. He told me in many condition environment that previously he need to use flash gun, now no longer need as shooting in iso6400 still good so clear and yet maintain the ambient lighting (shot look more natural in lighting/skin tone). those specific environment such as dimmer cafeteria, shopping mall, inside a bus model shooting, car show, etc. so just to say good FF body will help but not in very dark area. I never use a 2012 FF DSLR, may be I am bad to share unsure fact to justify above statement.

apologies if any my word hurt anyone or misleading someone. welcome to correct and shoot me, shoot me make me strong tongue.gif

jimlim007 : I am not trying to shoot you or anything. I am merely trying to convey a message that is often misunderstood.

A lot of people think that if they have a bright aperture lens coupled with a body that has clean high ISO, they can shoot without penalty under low light conditions during events. This is just plain wrong.

If flash is so trivial then you would not find photographers devoting themselves to getting all the lighting right. Just look at any printed ad shots. Very rarely do you come across one that only has ambient lighting. If you look closely, most of the time there will be at 2 or 3 lights involved in a shot.

Things like softboxes and beauty dishes to reflectors and various diffusers will not have any market if flash photography can be neglected.

Heck, even if you read manga and comics, lighting plays a very important role in creating mood and conveying certain feel. Artists do not simply draw light and shadows for no reasons.

understand, 4 words tell it all -no light no photography smile.gif
