... who used manual-focus SLR all his life.Still puzzled how to operate a Point-and-shoot (digital). Just bought a basic Canon (made a little research, and it seems that the images from a $250 camera aren't really worse than a $700 does, and anyway I need it mostly for garage work diaries). The most stunning experience is the choice of color balancing for daylight-tungsten-flash-etc... Flash/exposure control is better that expected. Downside: built-in LCD is too optimistic... even very bad fuzzy pics look bright and crisp.
But!
- How do they photograph without actually dialling the focus ring and seeing it through the lenses? Plug-and-pray?
- How do they photograph without aperture control? With SLR, the only auto mode I use is aperture priority with exposure step up/down (daylight; all manual for flash). These Canon lens is tiny, but it's not fixed focus, and on some test shots there's a visible difference in image depth (same subject, same settings - ??)
Follow Ups:
Hey, Klaus.It is quite of unexpected to hear your voice among the AA’s audio hoodlums.
I am not quite understood what you are asking. Nevertheless, is you jumped into digital sea then be advised that the same exponimetry algorithms that worked so wonderfully in the top of the line pre-digital SLRs do not work in the digital cameras. They try to convince everyone opposite but it is not true. All those $2000-$6000 SLR have insultingly badly working exposure automatics. They took the F5 mathematic and stick it into D1. The F5’s exponimetry worked very well. The D1 exponimetry is very crappy. And this is with all digital like this… God figure…

Roman,It's klaus (k minor) from tube DIY, not Klaus from vinyl.
Anyway, it's a $300 PnS and I already figured out how to manage it for my targets (right now, it's a 12-kilo copper preamp chassis - sit still, M-me Chassis, ptichka will be right there).
It is actually more like a manual rangefinder camera (Zorkiy he-he) - use display for framing but think beyond it. Indoor exposure control is good (chassis isn't as demanding as wedding couples).
Hey, I know you; you are the good guy who runs the klausmobile. Are you saying that you and this guy are two different Klauses?
Every week or two I get asylum mail for the other Klaus... stupid mail directory returns my whereabouts for all klauses and Klauses in the sandbox.Too bad the klausmobile isn't running - time to change brake disks. And the rest of it.
