You can change AF focus mode by pressing down on the button that's placed on top of the AF/MF switch that's sitting in the corner by the lens mount. I sent mine in for service but I think holding the button + top command dial sets AF mode, the back one sets AF-S, AF-C, or whatever.

timrenzi574 posted:Variable nd's are usually a video thing to maintain SS/aperture in changing light. The IQ out of them is not that great for stills unless you buy the 400$ Singh Ray one. Just get an ndx400 if you want a screw in, or a big stopper if you have lee drop ins. I've never seen anyone use a variable ND to control exposure like that. Most people use them because you're stuck to 180 degree shutter in video and nobody makes an ISO 25 camera so you need a ridiculous amount of ND just to shoot at f2. For video I like the Heliopan one.

Some cameras like the Alexas and the Blackmagics have a native ISO of 800 and if you want to maximize your headroom in the shadows and highlights you'd need to be able to quickly adjust exposure for different scenes and lenses.

Has anyone used Formatt's 4x4 Big Stopper equivalent? I was wondering if I could save a few photobucks and not get the Lee one.

I always buy the Extreme Pro UHS cards because the warranty is ridiculous. Lifetime warranty, and generally they upgrade you to a current model. I had to swap out a 45mb/s card and got a 90mb/s card

A RED Epic costs a shitload more than a DSLR. You can do some great work with one and even pull stills, but video cameras are not replacing stills cameras.Pablo Bluth posted:Except video is always shot at 1/{24,25,30,50,60}s, putting limits on the usefulness of frame extraction. You can get like 120fps at 5k, even more if you crop the sensor. RangerScum posted:Anybody in here ever work for a newspaper and care to comment on this topic? A newspaper couldn't afford a RED Epic

I think it's dumb for a photographer to be primarily shooting with a red epic, but I imagine he's pulling raw frames and sending jpegs

I don't because I always use manual exposure, but I guess it can help if you're using one of the priority modes and know that the camera will not accurately expose the scene without intervention (like a subject against a very harshly backlit background).

Also do people still need EC on something like a mirrorless system? I figure you get pretty accurate exposure information in your EVF and can open up or stop down as needed.

Depends on where you are, I guess. In LA I see mostly white lamps at around 5000k now, so it is entirely possible to bring a couple flashes and not have it look like rear end.

Photography is not a cheap art form to get into because the absurd cost of equipment, I agree, and barriers to entry are not conducive to the proliferation of good art. All good points. However, I personally I think that $10/month is not unreasonable or raising the barrier to entry, assuming you already have a computer capable of running Lightroom. And that's just going of regular CC pricing or retail for the software, Lightroom goes on sale all the loving time. All I'm trying to say is that things are not going to get any cheaper at any point.

Lightroom? Not sure exactly what you're asking, the only adjustment with a graph is curves, and Photoshop has that as well.

I always expose for highlights and am always conservative with them, putting them like a half-stop under. But I also have a camera that captures 13 stops and so far I haven't run into a situation where I ran into excessive noise after pulling up shadows.

You're better off learning how to manipulate curves in Lightroom because none of the presets are especially difficult to emulate on your own.

Yeah but you can make your own preset and then apply it willy nilly instead of spending $100.

huhu posted:This might be a bit vague but I'm wondering what's up with the colors in these pictures? How are such strong colors achieved? Is it some delicate balance of Lightroom sliders to get it just right? Film? Fancy lenses? I'm not sure what you mean by "strong color" but the colors don't stand out to me in any of those. The first one works because of contrast, the other two are pretty boring to me.

I just write off the subscription costs as a business expense, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me? It's actually easier this way for me to pay for the software rather than dropping $2000 for the bundle all at once.

Yeah, Production Premium CS6 cost me $1900 plus tax. Did NOT include Lightroom. A year sub for me costs $360...not that much to be honest. I kind of wish I knew CC was coming down the pipe because I'd rather have paid $600 a year and not have spent 2 grand up front.

No he's right, the AF module is from the D7xx series and is great for crops, but woefully undersized for full frame.

The D610 uses the same AF module as the D600 which is the D7000 AF module. Just compare your AF reticle to one in a D4 and D800, coverage is way different.

Your D7200 in movie recording will never reach peak write speeds - so if you're not shooting bursts of raw photos it really doesn't matter that much. I wonder though, when you're using one card to mirror the other, does this affect your raw buffer or does it write to both cards simultaneously?

The lighting isn't just behind, it's also above and to the left of the frame, like it's an hour or two from setting. To fix this you'd need to do some major retouching - the photo of the girl is too evenly lit and you'd need to create some shadows and back lighting. Unless you are a photoshop wizard it's probably not worth pursuing, and even if you are a wizard it's still not worth it.

Yeah it is a bit over-exposed, but unless your sensor is capable of 13+ stops of DR you might not have a lot of wiggle room to underexpose and still retain shadow detail.
