Canon Users Coffee Session
- Thread starter USM
- Start date
- Status
With the poll showing 55 Canon Users responded to a 'YES', we shall start planning while waiting to reach the target.
Volunteers are needed in order to run the event in the long term. Don't worry about commitment. Everyone will take turn, so it won't take up too much of your time.
Logistics Required
1) 17" inch Notebook with installed DPP or Adobe CS2/3
2) Tripod
3) Pan Head
4) Cable Release
Cameras and lenses are not an issue since some of you would be bringing along.
Photography Clinic
How to test your lens whether it is suffering from front/back focusing problem? Is the tolerant limit acceptable?
Each session, 3 lenses will be tested. (Due to time constraint, we can't possibly spending the whole night testing lenses). Anyone who thinks that his/her lens is suffering from the above phenomenon can bring the lens down for testing. Proper techniques of testing is required. Many a time, we heard users complaining that their lens is soft, etc. It could be the lens or the user fault (camera/hand shake, DOF, slow speed, lighting, etc). We need to eliminate the variances.
Photography Lesson
1) Canon cameras typically have 4 modes of metering, namely evaluative, partial, spot and center-weighted. So which one to use under what situations?
2) How to read MTF charts?
3) Should I get an IS lens? Anyway to get around it?
4) Is Mirror Lock-up a must?
5) What are the various methods to shoot macro subjects other than delicated macro lenses?
More topics will be added as time goes.
I strongly recommend members who are attending the session to bring along their work (photos) to illustrate their points, etc.
Besides drinking kopi, chit-chating, we should also learn something from one another.
