ok./... pls forgive me if i sound stupid....... i'm a newbie....
i set off today with my SLR (a minolta dyna 505si, just got frm a fellow clubsnapper) and tripod in tow...thinking of catching some nice scenery...
i started off at abt 5plus at teban garden when it was still bright... i used only the programmed mode when i was there... so everything was fine.. went for dinner then headed to marina barrage...
but when i was at marina barrage... i used the other modes A/S/P/M to try and see the different effects... most of the time... the shutter just wun snap!!!
when i was in S mode... i can snap frm 1sec to 15sec only...
when i was in A mode.... all my diff settings wun snap...
when i was in M mode... even if i set the same settings as S mode... taking the same scene... it just wun snap too..... the metering will show either under or over exposed...
so... does it mean that in any mode.... it wun snap if the metering shows that its under/over exposed?????
i thot that at least in M mode.... i can anyhow put settings to try to see the effects...
or is my camera spoil???
pls help help.... thanks .... =)
