I'm not that perfectionist lolol.

Not too much. 60D + 18-135 lens only costs around RM3500.

Trying to understand a bit on crosstype AF point and vertical and horizontal AF point

whats the different? is it vertical is mean to take potrait and horizontal is mean for taking horizontal photo??? (if your AF set on to that point)
only AF crosstype is the middle 1

hi..what is ur dslr model?

Its a 5DM3

Hey thx for sharing, i read up but tons of technical terms lol

goldfries
just wanna ask, what AF point do you set when taking food photography?

Im dont know am i doing it wrong?

Im trying to follow the rules of third so i set my AF on the bottom left or right, and position it the food at bottom left or right(when im using the 7D). But for the 6D it have 11 AF point, will I still set at bottom left or right when wanting to take a photo which follow the rule of third?

The easier method will be set your AF point at the centre and then you half press your shutter to focus on your subject and recompose.

ooo, so i use AE lock?
nono, not AE lock,

means i set the AF on mid, then i use manual focus to adjust it to focus on the object that i want to focus?

With < RM3,000, I think you can have yourself a 70D body only. CMIIW tho.

I think this will give you a better understanding on how to focus and recompose.
Yes 70D body only is less than 3000 now.

WOAH!,
Thank you soo much, even though this article is mean for Nikon, ( got Nikon camera to try try the featur eheheh)
but i dont know what is AE lock for, now i know about it ady =D
THx u so so much. Now i understand why people dont really concern about the little bit AF-point for 6D

All cameras are able to do so, you can apply this method in smartphone camera also.
Normally I just half press the shutter to lock the focus instead of using AF-L button.
That's personal preference though.

I like AF-L On better, cause when im shooting photo, usually im on tripod.
So by locking the focus/Exposure, i can free to adjust the tripod or recompose as it says

Thx u so much xD now i feel it is so nice to use a DSLR ady, didnt know about this feature xD

How if need to choose between 60D and 700D?

I see...i saw from canon website 70D cost around rm3499...lol

The pricing on the manufacturer's website is only the Recommended Retail Price. Street price (the price you get from the shops) are usually cheaper a bit. But for newly released models, the shops still usually follow the RRP.
