  • @oceandrew Thank you for taking the time to reply my question. Cheers.

  • @ptlofts Best way to understand WB is to shoot the different settings under different light conditions.... outdoors in open shade, sunlight, indoor natural light, incandescent light (tungsten) and flourescent. Use all the WB settings to see what you get. Now do the same thing with Flash. Best way to get to know your equipment is by using it.

    As for Focus.... AF uses contrast margins - use a sharp margin (eyeball) to get sharp focus, a soft margin (nose or lips) will not be so sharp.

  • @leepaothao Thanks for your answer.

  • @ptlofts John green said that white balance doesn't matter, set it to auto and shot raw. you can change the white balance later. focus issues depends on so many things, there's no one answer to that question, it all depends on how much light is in the room and what you are trying to capture. like zack said you have to learn your camera and gears to understand what works. there's no one answer for that.

  • @ptlofts ...if only there were a way to search for these answers. Damn you Zach Arias for not spoon feeding me EVERYTHING I need to know.

    Daylight vs. Flash is some engineer's best guess, use a gray card to establish your WB. Too dark to focus? Hot lights, or bring a flashlight.

    Photography is about problem solving. Start solving some problems for yourself, and you'll be amazed at the creative solutions you'll come up with...or not.

  • What Zack doesnt mention in the DVD and in these YouTube vids its the White Balance! What type of White Balance configuration should we use? Flash? Daylight? Does it make a diference? And what about Focus issues? How does he focus the subject if in some cases theres not enough light available, how does he focus?

  • MAAAN THANK YOU

  • @8element. The shutter speed has no effect on the exposure of your main subject as the flash happens much much faster than your sync speed. The only influence that a long shutter will have is to burn in a background that is not hit by flash. The size of the aperture controls the amount of light in flash photography.
