Absolutely right

Haha meeting cannot lar. U need to find some senior to tag along! There's a newbie meeting on 12 May, pity I'm having my internship else I'd definitely go!

Oh but if i only move it 1/3 stop, the exposures shown won't be very big different cos of the settings of AEB set is only 1/3 stop?

Newbie meeting? How come i didn't heard of any? Lol.. Posted where?

Exactly, probably you can arrange a gathering, and see whose willing to meet up and share tips with one another! That will be great! :bsmilie:

So people who take pictures with -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 exposure for HDR effects, they just adjust the top bar instead of the one below which the left and right 'marker' moves when you turn the speed dial?

also can be used for things tt are happening so fast they dun haf a second chance and they dun wanna take any risk.

Haha, I find it a trouble too, except when shooting landscape normally focus to infinity :bsmilie:

I feel a bit blind when looking through the small viewfinder with my specs on...like something in the way~ grrrr. makes it hard to see if things are focussed on not. You could try learning to use hyperfocal distance...I'm also trying to practice it hahaha.

the 550D viewfinder can put a split focus screen anot? any bros here know?

How to focus to infinity? (does this mean, at a point when you turn the focus ring, everything is sharp even the object close to you, including the background which is far far away?)

What's hyperfocal distance? Did a google and couldn't really understand it.
