Like Stig, I almost always use ISO 400 when shooting indoors with flash. I wouldn't even consider ISO 200 when using a lightsphere. Paul On Dec 7, 2009, at 1:53 AM, Stig Vidar wrote: > Light in LCD: Its the same on my K-7. I think it is synchronized with the > light in the lcd on the camera. Try

Re: AF 540 FGZ - I am totally confused -- need help from K7+AF540FGZ owners

I suspect the problem is with your flash. The metering should be fine as long as you're within range. Remember though that range is greatly dependent on the size of the room and the color of the walls. Paul On Dec 6, 2009, at 11:44 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > I am totally confused... > I am s

PESO x2: Out-takes

Here are a couple of photos that I really wanted to pick for the galleries but they didn't quite work out. Notice the state of the fence in this one. Behind it is a near-vertical drop of about 200 metres. I was disappointed about the blurred rider but the background is a bit overexposed as we

RE: geso rooftops & rainbows

Last weekend (the weekend of the ram) when my friend and I were driving out to the dales through similar light to Christine's picture we saw the end of a rainbow. Neither of us had ever since this before. I regret to inform the PDML that there was no pot of gold - just some wet sheep. I didn't hav

Re: AF 540 FGZ - I am totally confused -- need help from K7+AF540FGZ owners

I was about to suggest the same as Stig for LCD lighting. :-) There's really only one way to check for preflash. Do a couple of shots with the camera away from your face. Another test you could do is to shoot a series of the same scene at different apertures. If the histogram creeps gradually dow
