As i am trying to relate some photographic terms in chinese, could not find in on clubsnap. This is what i found from another site. I find it hard to discuss about photography with chinese friends.
:)

If anyone of you have others to share feel free to share it with the rest. Google translate does not help much

I personally want to know what is ISO, noise control, critique and complimentary comments in chinese.

Thanks in advance.:thumbsup:
 

底片感光度 is ISO

As a side note, there is this chinese forum aka fengniao but the last time i tried to join but cannot because they need some ? china registered number to verify or something.
Anyone got any luck ?

some of my suggestions:

Feel free to be yourself - 不必太拘束 / 放轻松 / 自然點
no smile necessary - 不必笑
Don’t mind me - 不必在意我 / 不必理我
One more, please - 再来一个
No peace sign, please - 请别做V手势
 

your camera is good. 你的机几够力一下
 

Picture Control -- 优 化校准
Noise Reduction -- 降噪能力
ISO Noise -- ISO噪点
Noise Control -- 噪点控制
White Balance -- 白 平衡
Aperture Priority -- 光圈优先模式
Spot Metering -- 点测光
Center Weight Metering -- 中央重点测光
Matrix Metering -- 矩阵式测光

How about ND filter GND filter and CPL?
 

CPL is 偏振镜.
Not sure about ND and GND filters :embrass:
 

How about ND filter GND filter and CPL?

ND filter = 中性密度濾光片 /镜
GND = 渐变中性密度濾光片 /镜
PL filter= 偏光镜
