ive been reading the manual since ive gotten the camera just that there are still stuff that i do not understand.

its not a must for you to respond to me thou. :bsmilie:

well my fren than re-read the manual again, any more doubts to certain do a google search, if u still dont understand than theres nothin to say..... than the last resort, come to CS, D90 thread and ask,:cool:
 

why must CS be the last resort?
 

why must CS be the last resort?

My answer is simple, u have the whit to reply to the advice given to you,

Its as simple as read and slowly understanding what u read, if u read blindly u will be mislead,
why i say CS is last resort, there is so many written article abt the basics of Dslr on the net, a simple search will get u more results, some super technical some very layman, better than u posting and keep posting, In a a way, u are feeding the answers info the know how by yourself, rather than keep asking to be spoon fed,

cheers dude,:cool:
 

why must CS be the last resort?

My advice is to read and try out at the same time. If you are just reading and not trying out at the same time. You will not know what is the outcome. :devil:

Basic D90 Camera function are put into the most simple term for even a child can understand. So you should not have a problem too. Of course if you are asking some technical stuff like why my exposure over exposed, how do each of the metering works etc. That kind of question anybody here will try to explain to you as simple as it can be.

But very very basic stuff like how to operate the camera all these best is to read up slowly and throughly. My next best advice for you is to join outing then you learn as you go.^^
 

searching online and coming to CS is just another way to finding answers, its not a matter of spoon feeding, at least to me.

if i had the knowledge and some one else ask a question when the answer could be found in the manual/online, i would not mind sharing with him. it is good to share my knowledge then to see it as spoon feeding.

people here dont seem to be eager to share. what is obvious to you may not be obvious to others.
 

ok gentlemen, I think it is time to leave the issue as it is before it escalates into an arguement, debate, or disagreement, whatever it may be.

FYI, seaching for a topic is recommended as it is stated in CS's Terms of Use. So, relax. Let's just learn together and share together.:)
 

there is also a scale where it shows the exposure or something then have to bring it to 0 to adjust the shutter speed. what do you call that ah and how do you switch it on thought out all the different modes?

go to page 9 of your manual. its item 21, with picture of the viewfinder display so you wont miss it. and you say we're not eager to share :bsmilie:

TS, my advice to you is don't read the whole manual in one go. download the electronic version of your manual, it makes searching for relevant info about your camera much easier. took me all of 10 sec to find it ;)

something just occurred to me!

cheesy, have you ever looked through your viewfinder? if you did, you should have seen the "EV scale". true?

Ya. It is not a must for me to respond to you. That is true.

I just want to let you know that the answers to all your questions are stated all clearly in your manual. So it is either: A) you did not read your manual carefully enough in detail, or B) you have problem understanding the manual.

So to A) I suggest you read your manual properly. And if it is case B) I am offering my services to guide you 1 on 1 for a fee.

So in all respects, I am suggesting solutions to your problem. ;)

So, you can either: 1) read your manual properly again, or 2) pay money to attend a course, or 3) pay me money to guide you, or 4) pay someone else money to guide you, or 5) continue to stay blur about what you are asking, or 6) find other reading material to answer your question in your own way (read google).

Your choice. ;)

Did I say something wrong? I think not. :nono:

im not blaming anyone for their answers, just that i was expecting something that is more welcoming.

correct me if im wrong, on the default settings it will go off in about 6 secs. unless i switch on the easy exposure compensation.

thank you for your suggestions.

tt's if you do not change any settings, i.e. leave it idle. if you are changing your EV compensation, aperture or shutter speed or any other 'shooting option' it shouldn't go off.
 

i dont quite get the second part. :dunno:

What I usually do is set the aperture and shutter speed tt I want, then adjust the EV accordingly. BUT, for the EV to properly assist you in getting your shots properly exposed, you have to understand metering, the different modes of metering and how to use them.

The info displayed in the viewfinder will not go off while adjusting any values such as your aperture, shutter speed, and other values you see there, such as flash EV. Try it out with your camera in hand. You should be able to figure it out. I understand it may be difficult to visualise what I'm saying. Sometimes I don't really understand myself at all. :bsmilie:
 

cheesy, I found all these in a google search in 2 mins. If you still can't get it after all these info. It is ok. DSLR is not for everyone. It just means it is not a good fit for you.

thanks. is there anyway to use the metering as a gauge to adjust the shutter speed?

ie the scale is leaning towards the right/left then have to adjust the shutter speed accordingly to bring the scale back to its neutral which is '0'

no no no! pls don't do tt. If you do tt, I would prefer tt you shoot in A mode instead of M mode. If you read through your manual, in A mode, you choose the Aperture you want to shoot at, and the camera chooses the shutter speed to bring the value to neutral.

And metering is just a gauge to know if your photos will be under or over-exposed. Learn to use the different modes of metering and situations in which to use them. It will help.

Any seniors pls correct me if I'm wrong. :)
