Hi,
I've read some people suggesting using custom white balance before taking pics with the 602.. but as of now I've never been able to set it correctly or set it at all...
This is what I did, take a piece of white card, place it infront of lens such that it fills entire screen, fire away... when used in the night it reads as under, when used in my room it reads as over... when used with flash it gives a funny hue to the whole picture..
So what's the right way to do it both when I'm using and not using flash...
Secondly, I've noticed that the unedited images I took from the 602 tend to be a little washed... as in the colours are not as vibrant as I would have wanted them to be... although this can be fixed with PS but it's a little troublesome and it sort of makes it seem as if the edited photos are not really original... I think a good photographer should even have the need to edit his photos right?
So where did I go wrong? White balancing? Exposure?
Lastly... about focusing... It's really weird to focus through the EVF, coz it in itself is not very clear, so even if it LOOKS like it's focused, sometimes its not... how do you guys get over this? Also, I can never seem to focus in time for those shots that require quick reflexes... I nearly died trying to take photos of a pair of kittens playing in my room, could never get the focus in time for the shot.. even if I got the focus, by the time I pressed the shutter they would have moved...
Sorry for squeezing so many questions into one post... newbie lar, need some guidance.. hehe..
Thanks a lot guys,
Ervine Lin
