I have big prob with my D80, it has infected me with the BBB virus....

No problem at all...

Pics dun require any PP. Great right out of the box.

Juz need to tweak my EC to +0.7, ISO 200 and using M mode, need only to vary the aperture & shutter accordingly. With these I'll get 95% perfect pics all the time.

Mininum shutter speed I've used for this is 1/5sec (handheld). As for aperture, f8.

Having an external flash is a plus...

EC +0.7? can explain?

[siaopika]

Wat I meant is I fixed my Exposure Compensation to +0.7 and ISO to 200. I dun adjust diz...

By doing diz, I have reduced my variables from 4 to 2. So if there's any change in lighting condition, I juz need to play around with the shutter and aperture only.


And juz to add on, the AWB is awesome. I use at -3.

i also dun get it... why not just set to lowest ISO (given enough light), and just use aperture and shutter speed to get the correct exposure that u want?

why do u fixed ISO at 200 all the time and use EC +0.7?

Either he's using the camera as a real expensive PnS or he's shooting in fixed lighting conditions... mebbe a studio?

I dun get it either.... The beauty of having a DSLR is that you can get to change the ISO setting, EV, and all the other controls to suit the different light conditions available in the different situations.

There's never a fixed formula nor a magical figure to stick with for all the conditions.

Anyone got any feedback on the saturation setting? I set it to enhanced. The colour looks too rich for me. I will try moderate next time.

[lastboltnut]

I think saturation is very subjective......

You could always leave the Saturation on "Auto" but tweak the Color Mode setting to either Ia (sRGB) or II (Adobe RGB). Color Mode III tends towards richer "Velvia-like" outputs which are more suited to nature shots.
