herperjosh Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Great photos matt! Are you using manual mode I got my 550d about a week ago it's a really good camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Cool. I thought you already had an HD capable phone (i recall from your youtube)? I use the M function for taking pics most of the time. Probaby M for manual? lol Manual focus all the way. Auto focus is to slow and noisy for my liking. I really need to go back and read the manual again. Sometimes everything looks yellow and need to work out how to blur/un blur background especially when recording. I generally just push a few buttons, turn some nobs. and normally that works :facepalm: haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally just push a few buttons, turn some nobs. and normally that works :facepalm: haha. Yeah I do but this is more for photography not video but I will be using it's video though And yes m means manual lol it's hard to get the iso and shutter speed and aperture right I want to use macro but I get sick of the flash popping up! I found the manual was really good. Yeah the auto focus is quite slow manuals the best and I find live view really good zooming in and seeing if it's well in focus is really handy and in the ca mode on the dial (creative auto) on the display it let's you pick how blured you want the back round and how bright the picture is.

Insect Direct Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 It is silly how the flash is automatic on some functions. In M/manual you can still get just as close i think. I want a macro lens and decent flash. Probably should pay off the camera first though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should pay off the camera first though Yeah in manual you can get just as close the only difference between all the other modes is that you set the shutter speed etc in the scenario instead of it being automatic. I think you can turn the flash off but im not to sure :dunno: The macro lenses are great canon came off the best in digital photo magazine review and sigma was the best 3rd party lens. Yeah better pay off the camera before getting a new lens :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
