no worries. it's better than buying a lousy cam with a less attractive bundle rite? u will be happy with f31fd. cos q a handful of dslr users bought f31 as their sidearm.

yeap ~ got any tutorials on how to use the cam, as in.. taking pictures nicely all that.
coz the pictures i took so far.. alot of them are.. kinda of ugly, maybe i don't know how to use the cam well.
thanks !

Digest the manual first. Then play and play.......
Tune down ISO to reduce possible noise.
And please do remember to format your card before use.
Try transfer photo to PC via the usb cable, cos many older readers are not 100% compatible with the newer cards.
Remember that memory cards are not to be treated as a thumb drive.

hi, just checking..

i always directly copy the pictures out from the card reader..is this ok?
because sometimes when i put the mmc back into the camera, and some pictures will have an error msg saying "card error"..

do most of you copy via cable or mmc card? thanks

[felixcat8888]

I use cable from Digicam to PC. No hassle of taking card in and out.

For all types of memory cards, it is not good to access thru card reader.
If really want to transfer via reader, remember to format the card after transfer.

Just take any shoot anyhow in the first place, when review pictures later then you notice the different settings and you follow up with the manual then reshoot again to get satisfactory results.

As for transfer picture through camra or card with card reader, It's personal preference. Both way works, as the end result is all your pictures are copied into the pc.

hi people, got another noob q to ask..

when i'm indoors (usually restaurants), the pictures get pretty yellow/orange despite the white balance i use..i tried almost all, but all turn out quite wierd..what will u all do in tis case?

[wiLLy-LucifeR]
