IR photo only successful after 2nd shutter on D70

detrop · 29th July 2005

Hi, I juz tested out my D70 with Hoya R72 in Jurong Bird Park today. While taking photographs, i noticed that the metering is always off. and im using the matrix area metering with A mode. the first time i snap after setting up, the camera would give me very dark pic. the second time i press the shutter, the pic might juz turn out quite ok or sometimes, skrood up too.

Anything wrong with this?

Maybe you might like to try out Manual mode... I usually use F8 1" for bright sunny days... Usually quite alright... if you dun use a tripod... then maybe have to open up a bit more and use something like a lampost... hope this helps...
