On the 70d I haven't seen the number in view finder, is this possible? I can only see it when using live view screen.

Actual place have a black cement floor and nothing like in the photo. Will look at the WB later to see what was its setting.

you need to half press the shutter

glossy cement floor often looks dark but camera sensors work a little differently.

if the exposure was lower than the floor will look dark.

Sold my DSLR so all I left for now is the little M.

hi all, may i know which one is ok between this two lens version

18-55mm IS vs 18-55mm IS II

I have Yongnuo RF 603C flash triggers. Please may I know what cable I need to use them with studio flash?

hey bro. thanks for the advice. tried that, but didnt improve the situation. you think canon service center would b able to rectify the problem without charging me an absurd amount?

The amount Canon service centre will charge depends on what needs to be fixed.

Finally get to use my 55-250mm on people to test portrait potential. But at 200+mm I was hoping to see the background to be more faded out. But yeah they didn't notice I took a picture of them . Its a nice light lens. I still can't imagine myself walking around with a big white telephoto lens.

it is indeed a nice lens for those who wanna to try out what is a telephoto lens to begin with. got image stabilizer as well, what else could you ask for that price

True, true! It's my second lens after the 18-55mm kit lens.

Took this picture when I was back for Hari Raya.

Turned out that my cousin-in-law got this old gem as a legacy from his father.

3.5mm TS cable.
Unless it has a PCSync port. Then use PC sync connector.

Thanks, but still confused...
The Yongnuo RF-603 comes with a cable, which, according to the manual, is 'PC sync cable/shutter connecting cable'. The cable can be connected to the 2.5mm shutter socket, but not the 3.5mm PC socket. So what I need to do is to use a 3.5mm converter?

See attachment...

Most strobes have a 3.5mm TS input.
So you could get a PC sync to 3.5mm TS
or
2.5mm TS to 3.5mm TS

I thought the cable is used to connect camera instead of flash light? I always use mine as remote shutter instead of PC sync.

Well, not sure. The manual says it is 'PC sync cable/shutter connecting cable', so I thought it doubles as both.

hi all
may i ask, between canon eos M and canon 40D, which one is better?

i have a 40D now dont know if going for M is an upgrade or just sideways...

that's pretty hard to say. I went from a 550D > 550D + M > M only. The M is a good camera I can tell you. Awesome build quality, really compact size (around the size of a phone, just quick thick) and if you got the 22mm it's a very good lens for very little amount of money. But if you shoot fast moving things or do a lot of flash shooting, the M is not for you. The focusing is still quite slow by today's standard, not unusable , just you might miss quick moments. the liveview also sucks for flash shooting, you always get totally blacked out screen since there's no option to turn off exposure simulation. the M is more like a travel/ street camera that you would take your time slowly set up and frame shots instead of gun-and-run DSLR style shooting

my 2cents.
