yeah we got a booth there for our figures collection so gonna take the chance to shoot some cosplayer loh. first time going CF, hopefully can get some nice pics hehe

since i cant go CF for shoting, so i hope i can go the GACC 2008 to shot

Just want to ask all the pros... i have encounter blurry pic prob.. just want to ask your how to do a best setting based on aperture and the shutter speed... as in the manual book say the minimum shutter speed is 1/60 for EFS 18-55mm ( kits lens )... Just want to know how to count ar for the minimum shutter speed?? is it how many mm u using multiply by 1.6?? i have post some picture in page 11 this page... pls give me some comment about that.. sorry for that cause i'm just a newbie and holding the camara less than 10 days...hehe so i want more advices and comment from all the pros... =)

When exactly is the comic fiesta?

ysyeo, the minimum shutter speed depends on what you are shooting and how steady your hands are.
The 1/60 shutter speed is just a suggestion from Canon.
With IS lenses you can even take sharp pictures at 1/10.

Sigma 18-200mm price

Freak`

your shutter speed should always be higher than the focal length you are shooting at, so if you shoot 55mm your shutter speed should at 1/60. You can go lower by 3 stop if you have an IS lens, lower still if you have a steady hand. also learn how to hold the camera properly and use anything around you as a support for a steady shot.
as for the 1.6 crop, I am not sure if that's is taken into consideration as well when calculating the shutter speed you need to use, need some pro to clarify on this

It's a fest with lots of anime stuff, cosplayer, doujin, etc. got some competition and some shows as well.

Brother, I asking when ler... hahaha

thanx Freak. hurm..out of budget...seems need to hunt a 2nd hand...

opps sorry, hahah eyes still blurry from too much anime in the weekend hehe. it's on 15-16th, 11am-7pm @ 6th floor times square

one more question...yesterday i goin a snow hse in bukit cahaya there...i using my 400D to take picture...when inside the snow hse everything is ok...when out of the snow hse my lenses filter is bluring ( Something like a spec come out from the cold area to hot area).... then i clean my filter using spec cloth...everything is nicely just feel funny after cleaning y still bluring wen i want to take picture...i notice my lenses is encounter the same problem like the filter..just want to ask how we got to overcome this problem and what is the best way to protect the camara body and the lenses when in cold area or hot area...

no problem, we all learning together mah

condensation problem probably. anyway read up about cold weather here

ok.. i will read it out...thx you again for the info...=)

not entirely true..
it depends on the focal length as well.. if u're shooting @ 300mm with IS lens @ 1/10s, chances are it'll still be blur..
slight motions or instability of the camera will be greatly amplified @ longer focal lengths.

the general rule of thumb is if u shoot at 'X'mm, then use 1/'x' shutter..
but most of the time, at short range, u can very well go below the 1/x, or go above the 1/x..
like for example, when shooting at 55mm, hand held shooting @ 1/30s is very much possible, while shooting @ 10mm with 1/10s might have higher chance of blurring..
so it all depends on your hands.. most people can shoot @ 1/60s without blurring, so canon uses that as a general guide

1/10 quite high chances of blurring. yes, I've tested my lens with stabilizer, you have much better chances when it's

1/15 - 1/20 (obviously) and at lesser zoom range. why? the higher the zoom range, the more amplified is each movement.

Let's say I'm at 300mm, then the shutter speed should be at 1/300?

hmmm...looking forward for my first tt with the club.

whats the plan currently? go shoot cosplay models??

general guideline.. depends on your other settings / equipment used also..
u can also try to use a slower shutter to see if your hands are stable enough.. depends on individual..

I'm interested but I will only be able to make it on Sunday though..

THanks Kevin613

I'll be there on sunday too, cosplay competition is on sunday i think, so best time to shoot some nice cosplayer hehe. if no nice one come to my booth to shoot plastic girls loh

I think it should be 1/(300*1.6) = 1/480 or more or less 1/500 to be more precise.
