what I mean is at the lens got "Auto focus" on or manual. Do we should put as on or as manual everytime need adjust on the lens?

i use auto all the time, some people like manual. kit lens normally is auto focus, you can adjust it manually even it is auto on....

For starters, just stick to auto focus

I do believe the D3200 kit lens will be 18-55mm VR1 which doesn't have manual overried, so turning the focus ring when auto focus is on might break your auto focus motor

i never hear of that.... unless you are talking about screw type AF... but newer one i don't think will break la...

but then i also never turn that focus ring often XD only touch zoom ring

(i might be wrong for this)

Common Tiny House Dweller- Oecobius sp. ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Yet another spider that's so common that people don't bother about them~
This tiny but fast spider can be found indoors, usually around corners of walls, where they usually hunt for ants there.

This male Oecobius is only 1mm in size, and looks very much like a juvenile if it wasn't for the modified palps.

Long-Jawed Mother Spider guarding her egg sac- Tetragnatha cf. mandibulata ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Everything about the Tetragnatha is long, the legs are long, the body is long, the jaws are long, and unsurprisingly, so do the egg sacs lol...

These spiders love living near water and their long and slender body shapes allow them to easily hide among small twigs or leaves. This particular one was found in a paddy field.

you all save raw or raw+jpeg?
is it ok to save only raw file to save space in memory card.
Because can be save as jpeg using photoshop. since not all photo shoot-ed want to save.

guys just want to ask about 650D, can you recommend it for beginners?

nikon never have D650

i think you answered your question

That's a Canon haha

oh sorry hehehe wrong thread yeah its canon

just want to know the professional and practical way to use dslr.

I always shoot RAW only, as it is really good for editing
It helps especially when I don't get the settings perfectly during shoots, especially those that require spontaneous/ continuous shooting like actual-day weddings or macro shots where you can only get one shot

i use professional model and one of the holy trinity lens of nikon but i never get photography related job also i'm noob for this. but i shoot RAW because i know i sucks in catching light , lucky my job related skill i still able to use photoshop "safe" some photos to normal status from under exposure/over exposure....

it this helps?

just you have to get more memory cards... no harm for shooting more than missing some piece during your expensive oversea trip with someone.

but Sifu @goldfries is professional, he shoot JPG.

It depends on what you need. Some professional photographers shoot JPEG because of the big number of pictures, mainly event and sports photographer. Some shoot RAW because they know they are going to spend a lot of time editing the images afterwards to achieve the best possible result, mostly product photographers.

JPEG if you are lazy or too busy to went through every image and edit them. RAW if you want to get the best quality images from your camera but you are going to need a lot storage and time to edit and store them.

it's a really nice picture, thanks for sharing

nowsaday so difficult to sell used lens , anyone interested in tokina1116 kindly refer to my signature..

btw.. D750 at 5799 before gst good value?

Hi bro, PMed you about the 11-16mm was looking for that actually

Meh dont really bother to shoot raw nowdays unless really important stuff, just stick to normal jpeg

Dont be lazy to customize the white balance according to condition, auto mode doesnt get it right all the time. Same goes with exposure, use manual and set according to your needs. Not the camera
