found this creature when i check my D600 still having the dust problem or not.

Update: after over 3000 sc, there is no dust coming out anymore. only spot 2 oil marks but i believe it quite normal for a new body.

hmm.gif shoot against a wall with slow shutter and shake the camera around. If you see a dot, that's dust. Oh and do it with the smallest aperture.

I wonder why D700 second hand price still same with D600 new body price?
Which one nicer? I can afford FX body but not their lens sad.gif how?
*
Because D700 is still the only non single digit body capable of doing 8fps.

more specifically, when paired with BG set to HIGH mode.

too bad D600 / D800 can't do it. sad.gif

Nikon's latest marketing strategy... to avoid bodies stealing sales from their flagship ala D700 + D3. So you have the slow but high MP D800... (I don't think there will be a D3X replacement anyways), and the entry FX model D600... leaving the D4 only high fps body from Nikon, second closest would be D700/D300/D300s at 8fps.

So most of you consider D700 over D600?but I heard D700 is discontinued already right? How much D700 new body?
I am not sure the money is worth for old tech + 2nd hand?(D700) or new tech yet still have flaws (D600)

What are the advantages of FX? If I can own FX body but not the lens, can use DX lens temporary?

I am using D90, if upgrade one shot go for FX which recommended by my friend. Saving money ><....

Consider when you have saved sufficient money, cause what's now might change by the time you have the budget ready smile.gif

Wow, the gold words can fade so easily? Owner must be holding there a lot, or poor quality ._.

If not mistaken, that whole part can be replaced by Nikon. But price quite expensive, definitely more than RM50.

My friend has issue with Nikon Malaysia when he claimed for warranty, apparently Nikon Msia don't honor the international warranty and need to 'purchase' Msia warranty. But that was 2 years ago LOL, not sure if anyone tried to claim warranty recently?

Sharpness is brows.gif , bokeh is on another level too brows.gif but I preferred the 85mm's range + color... so I took 85mm back then.

Also because I was on DX... so 135*1.5 is kinda.. too tele for my taste:P

Maybe you can try this:
Shoot with LiveView and compare the result. If the result is different under same shooting setting and lighting condition, you might want to check for Focusing issue.
You can also try shooting using manual focus to compare.

Also check if your lens is dirty, oil marks, etc. If got filter, try removing the filter and shoot.

I know my D90 and D700 AF got hit and miss when focusing to far away distance... should be similar with D800. It will be more accurate if you shoot with cross sensor, compared to the non cross.

I need some advice on the lightroom v4.3.
Recently I feel the advantages of RAW (aka .NEF format) file for editing.
Normally the photo preview in the lightroom is more rich in colour right? then soon after it finish loading, the colour became dull, less saturate,less contrast, etc...

What I see is what I get (which is dull)? or the DSLR one is the real one?
I was being told that RAW files are like that one (dull), which good for editing.

I also being told we can load back the rich colour data back to the RAW file after we export it as JPEG directly in lightroom without editting, but it doesn't happen like what I think. It is same as the dull photo i view from lightroom.

So, If I like the photo straight out from camera (&lazy edit bunch of photos just to make the photo looks more colourful), how to put back the colour coding and export as JPEG?  icon_question.gif
*
When you shoot NEF, it also comes with a 'small preview' JPEG embedded in it. So basically as you import to LR, it will show the embedded preview then when "finish loading" it will load what LR is cooking the raw (NEF) for you.

LR is unable to detect what is the actual settings you did on camera (Vivid, Standard, Portrait, Landscape etc including sharpness, saturation bar). My experience is that when you set the default "Vivid", you need to set "Vivid" in Camera Calibration under Develop module. But, if you did some tweaking in camera, you need to do trial and error in LR to get the exact copy.

Alternatively if you like the color straight out from camera, just convert to JPEG via ViewNX2 instead.

Happy Chinese New Year to all celebrating and happy holiday to the rest!

It wasn't there when it was new, its basically a problem happened due to wear and tear. So when buying 2nd hand zoom lens, becareful. This is more likely to happen to zooms than primes.

Hello everyone

How does center metering works?

Does it only meter strictly at the CENTER of the image?

If I took the leftmost focus point as my point of focus, will it be based upon amongst the left side for center metering?
*
Are you referring to center weighted metering? If center weighted, it will meter based on the center area, ignoring where your AF position is located.

Well, that point of time I preferred the D90 over the 40D... newbie style of thinking hehe... cause D90 has better LCD display, newer sensor, and also I navigate better... I got kinda lost with the 40D... Was a newbie at that time, never played with both brands extensively before biggrin.gif

im replying to my earlier post myself due to nobody replied tongue.gif

anyways, tried and tried it again n again, it seems that the middle AF is giving me quite accurate results. atleast 8/10 in focus which is good enough imo.

but i found the culprit behind this - the AF assist light that comes from my speedlight(s) (im using the SB700 and SB910 for the tests), once i turned off the AF assist light from the flashgun, things seems to be in good focus. im quite happy about this.

so..any of u is going thru this also? does this means my speedlights' AF assist light arent accurate? (note that i use 2 different speedlights and it gives me almost the same out of focus results, i had to put the AF fine tune on -20 when im using speedlight+AF assist from the speedlight, once AF assist is off, no fine tune is needed to nail a shot - using the 50mm 1.8G @ f2)

any thoughts is appreciated! thumbup.gif
*
Yes, I noticed this happening with fast primes especially (f/1.4~f/1.8) but speed light AF nailed for my other zooms f/2.8 or f/4 without issue.
