Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	Date: 22nd December 2012 Venue: KLCC Convention center , Comic Fiesta 2012 main entrance. Time: suggest to meet at 2.30pm at the fiesta entrance, until 4pm. Then 4pm we go KLCC yum char TT. ok?? ** Comic Fiesta 2012 tickets are RM20 per day, I just found out from digging in their website. Therefore maybe more worth it to go much earlier?? Attending: 1. chiahau - Most probably if I am free with my old 5N and 50 1,8 2. CalvinSeak 3. Leowillis 4. mls_gamer - Will arrive there around 10am...hmm wait at there CF main entrace i think not a good idea.... sure crowded. 5. nlik - if I can come back on time from Hulu Langat biking .. haha. 6. 7. 8. 9. add more ? Repost and add your name for those who wanna go. Thanks. mls_gamer, if you are more familiar with the venue, can suggest another meeting place instead of the main entrance? P.S. Last year's Comic Fiesta 2011

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	QUOTE(poolcarpet @ Dec 20 2012, 12:39 AM) What a bummer.... Anyone tried putting ram heatsinks to hopefully reduce the heat? Try it!!. That would probably work to prolong the video recording at least. Thermal tape should stick it there. But this basically means your screen can't sit flush with the body already, it will always be indented out... which should help airflow and disperse heat as well. ----------------------------- On another note, I took a few pics of friends with the paper heart cutout attached as shown earlier. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually changed the eye sparkles from round shape to a heart shape as well. I can't share that close up pic here lah , but u get what i mean, imagine the glitter in the eyes.

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	Oh kay, as of now, TT venue and time finalized as below. Date: 22nd December 2012 Venue: KLCC Convention center , Comic Fiesta 2012 main entrance. Time: 2.30pm at the fiesta entrance, until whenever we feel like it. Comic fiesta itself is optional. Comic Fiesta 2012 tickets are RM20 per day, I just found out from digging in their website. Therefore some may want to reach there earlier to get the most out of it, ahem.. ahem.. i think photographers are more brave in a group than going caugh.. caugh..solo. Attending: 1. chiahau - Most probably if I am free with my old 5N and 50 1,8 2. CalvinSeak 3. Leowillis 4. mls_gamer - Will arrive there around 10am...hmm wait at there CF main entrace i think not a good idea.... sure crowded. 5. nlik 6. 7. 8. 9. add more ? smile.gif Repost and add your name for those who wanna go.

Chun la;) hahaha.. We can persuade them to use NEX, they may try to interest us to use their lenses, flashes and why a traditional DSLR body is better haha.. But some Nikon bodies use Sony sensors, and some of us use Nikkor lenses, so TT together should be great and interesting.

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	QUOTE(nlik @ Dec 9 2012, 12:51 PM) There's something fishy about Nex-6 AF with the PZ1650. I just tested shot after shot using M mode (35mm,1/20,iso 800) , S-AF, Center weight with DMF, and I always get sharper results with manual focus as opposed to letting the camera AF. This is daytime with the window curtains 1/2 open. I toggled Setup >Phase Detect AF Area , metering center or Multi and the results still the same. There's a Setup > AF Micro Adj. but I am not sure yet what does it do. So, for those who think their NEX-6 Lens itself is not sharp, try DMF or manual focus to test it out first before concluding. Weird to be quoting myself here but.. now I see others around the world encountering the same issue. Here at dpreview forum 'Possible BIG problem 16-50 with Nex 6! ' and NEX-6 & E PZ 16-50 owners, please help! merchant9 , i am just guessing also reported the same issue previously?? This post has been edited by nlik: Dec 22 2012, 12:55 AM

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	Fun day . Highly recommended to visit the comic fiesta if anyone is free tomorrow. Mostly shooting cosplayers 1/2 day, end up TT 1/2 hour only. So many different colorful and Wow! customes to cheer your lenses up. For me happy to have 4 Nex, 1 Alpha and 1 Canon together shooting.

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	QUOTE(sengwee1988 @ Dec 24 2012, 12:27 AM) what is the effect used to make the picture look like comic? Is it a default filter in the NEX? Nex-6 aplication "Picture Effect+", then select Illustration. I love it!! ... and now u know why the others here are grouping together to purchase more cool Apps!! However, do note that the original, unedited pic will not be available and the camera will take maybe 3 seconds to produce the results. Personally i feel that not every subject is ideal for this effect , so..some discretion would be good. Eg. Christmas trees just look like melted chocolate which to me is not appealing at all.

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	QUOTE(wsl @ Dec 24 2012, 05:27 PM) I suspect the issue u highlighted is similiar to what I experienced in my LA-EA2-NEX 5 combination. The default setting always looks to be out of focus, where manual gives sharper images. After looking around, I tried the AF Micro Adjust and I got sharper image then. How I did on the Micro Adjust is, using the chart ISO 12233 print out, place it on flat surface, mount the camera on tripod, at around 45 deg to the chart, use spot AF, and aim at the scale on the chart. try out from +20 till -20 to see which setting give the sharpest image on the Spot you focus at. Hope this help. Thanks for the info. That should help the LaEa users. It's different with Nex-6 and it's selp1650 kit lens because AF micro adjust cannot be used in this case.

Pisen quality was good for me on the Nex-5 and I used it for about a year. I tried it on Nex-6 but didn't work; so I believe it won't work on 5R too as they were released around the same time. Anyway, anyone else here tried Pisen on 5R??? Anyway, Happy Nex Year 2013 to all of us!! . My new year resolution is Full H:D !! haha..

Enthusiast Senior Member 876 posts Joined: May 2006 From: Klang, Bukit Jalil	QUOTE(mrg220t @ Dec 31 2012, 08:56 PM) Guys, I am facing a weird problem with my NEX5N and my 18-55mm lens. When shooting at f/22 there are weird spots showing up. But when shooting at f/4.5 then no spot shows up. Example below: As can be seen the second image got spots in it. Both are of the same white wall. Anyone know what causes it? Is it dirt in my lens/camera sensor? If so why one got spots the other don't have? Anyone got experience on sending to Sony for cleaning? Under warranty no charge right? Yes, no charge for sensor cleaning if under warranty. Before that can try to use a blower like Giottos rocketfirst. No worries, it has happens to most of us. Never blow with your own breath
