i use Av settings most often now. i use M when I have an idea what I want to get that Av settings won't help me get. biggrin.gif

entirely up to individual la. like for example, when you do paintball photography, M is really damn crazy. Av/Tv is the way to go.
*
bro, why say so? I mean Av/TV is good to shoot paintball photography?

I think it's because Av/Tv eases the burden of the photographer.
He doesn't need to set both shutter and aperture.
During paintball matches, the action is fast, so perhaps if you use M you might miss many good shots - unless you're very familar with the controls of the camera =P

nod.gif agreed... sweat.gif I have bad headache when I was playing around with the M mode... still don't know how to set to suit the environment... sweat.gif

erm, if let say, like for environment macam Starbucks, normally it is under dim light, right? what's the best setting to see things very clearly?

Hi guys, I just got myself a 400D and I am kinda new to photography and DSLR. =) Hope to learn from you guys.

hi bro, welcome to the world of Canon... tongue.gif delighting you always huh... brows.gif

anyway, if not mistaken, we bought the SLR on the same day and at the same shop (Click n Snap), just different time only... thumbup.gif

oh ya, this coming Sunday, 23 Dec, we might be going out to "shoot" around in Penang... please let me know if you want to join ya... thumbup.gif going out with some "SLR Sifus"... can learn and practise at the same time!

QUOTE(valho @ Dec 18 2007, 10:45 AM)
yeah if you need to take photo fast, Tv or Av would be better suited.

for like Starbuck depends what you want to shoot loh, since it's dim light you would want the aperture wide open and maybe bump up ISO a bit. Having a flash to bounce is good too
*
but if let say using flash, the background will be kinda dark, will it? hmm, maybe I should try 1st... thanks for your advice... notworthy.gif

If you want to learn maybe can have a photoshoot one day..
I think those guys are in the midst of organising one to Putrajaya  brows.gif

sigma makes flash too, it's cheaper but not sure of the quality. for canon speedlite cheapest is the 430ex about 1k, the 580EXII is about 1.6k, cost as much as the 60mm macros lens

phew... 1K for the speedlite... sweat.gif

yeah. i called it shotgun. coz it is 'push-pull' mechanism (and of coz doesn't USM). look weird for some ppl..but for this 2 decade stuff..(and maybe its 'new mechanism' for me)..its interesting to 'shot' sumting. push-pull. just like shotgun. strong built..and can be alternative weapon (instead using baseball bet) while streetphoto. brows.gif
*
woo... tongue.gif so how much is that toy cost? brows.gif must be kinda expensive, right?

by the way, is this, AF55-200mm F/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro worth to buy?

photokaki and photomalaysia. i think the person name was pes1873 sumting. try contact him.

IS=image stabilizer. my gf use A570 PnS camera. so far..IMHO..can't surpass my gf PnS camera in-term of shoot-timing. she just point-and-shoot. but i need to stay up to few seconds b4 shoot becoz i need to stabilise my shaky-hand. smile.gif

haha... tongue.gif ya... that is him! but is it worth kah? hmm.gif
