Attended workshop by Lei Antonio on 26/7/07
He recommends general settings for newbies as follows:
1. picture mode- vivid or natural
contrast -2
sharpness +1
saturation +1
2. graduation -normal
3. use raw
4. use iso100 where possible
5. noise filter -low or standard
6. noise reduction off
7.focus centre spot
8. S-AF
9. anti-shock on
10. AF illum on
11.color space -sRGB
12.X-sync 1/125
13,AEL/AFL memo on
14.AEL metering -spot
PS: if errors above then it is my misunderstanding.
I will e-mail him to clarify if necessary
Why would you want anti-shock on for newbies? Does not make sense at all.
He did not recommend 'on' at all time lah... only in certain situation when needed... I went for a 'E-410 / E-510' workshop yesterday, 6th Aug. Strange there were ppl with E-330 & E-500, didn't they go a yr or more ago when they had the camera? Or maybe they bought it used & paid for this workshop... actually, if i have to pay for this workshop... i wouldn't go... ;p
