RAW CONUNDRUM
I dont use Lightroom but i do have elements so maybee able to help on a few points Have I been working on DNG RAW Files for the last few months only to downgrade them back to jpeg unknowingly? The advantage of RAW files is that they have more information, this gives more flexability when editing ...

RAW CONUNDRUM
Firstly, RAW image files, be they .PEF or .DNG are not changed in any way, except perhaps metadata, by any RAW processing software. Instead, some RAW editors save any changes that you make in a 'sidecar' file. When said editor reopens the RAW image, it then applies any changes it finds in that si...

Shutter release on X-90
The sensor on the DSLR is much bigger, so noise levels will be less and the smoothness of the image will be improved. It is a very different beast and a higher quality level. Having said that, the X90 is a splendid camera that has a fantastic lens range from macro to super telephoto. There's no c...

f2.8 50-135mm
Lenses don't cause noise, so I'm not sure what you're seeing here. It looks like a very wide aperture, so apart from the point of focus everything else is diffused. What were the exposure details?

Looks like its front focussing to me. The hair is in focus on the forehead but the eyes and eyebrows are soft.

gone back to look at the EXIF data - the second image was shot with the 50mm 1.4 lense - ISO 400 - so rubbish due to EVERYTHING going wrong. wish I had slowed down and checked what I was up to - front focussing sounds like I am not managing to focus on the point I thought I was focussing on - just B...

f2.8 50-135mm
For portraits when using f/1.4 to 2.8 focus on the eyebrow, there is more detail in the eyebrows and the eyes will be sharp too. :D

f2.8 50-135mm
Complete EXIF for both would be nice. To me at least, it looks like camera shake on the second image. You also have a bit of CA to get ride of here. The first one I am not so sure about. I suspect you tried a too small dof, and just focused wrong. Remember the 1/3 front, 2/3 back, when it co...

- front focussing sounds like I am not managing to focus on the point I thought I was focussing on - just BAD technique - This might be true, but it could just as easily be the fact that your camera/lens needs in-camera AF adjustment.

Please explain in camera AF I'll do my best :D The AF system in a camera is linked to, but separate from, the optical system. The two work together, and in most cases the AF system will 'decide' on correct focus at a point matched by the optical system. But, both camera bodies and lenses are b...

f2.8 50-135mm
Here's how I test my focus as recommended by rice high. I found this last week when looking for other methods. For the 50-135mm the following; I have a kitchen work top 3 metres long, at one end of the worktop I put a cereal box, the other end my camera. Put the camera into live view mode. Hal...

RIP my 360 FGZ unless you can help
Not exactly a strange new problem, is it? Capacitor needs re-conditioning. 1 - Put in brand new, or fully charged, batteries. Switch on, and leave it. 2 - After a day, take the batteries out and ckeck the voltage - it will probably be way down on all of them. 3 - Repeat step 1 until the ready ...

K-x Power Issue
Are the batteries actually discharged or is it the battery indicator on the camera that says they are low. As on my K-r it will indicate low power but if i switch it off and back on again after 20 secs or so i can get a couple of hundred shots more. Been like that from new, just learned to live with...

K-x Power Issue
I use Uniross rechargable batteries 2700 mah. Ive tried using a new set but havent tried a new charger yet so that might be it. I also bought durcell batteries the other day to see if they were working. I got a full green bar and then 50 shots later dead. There must be a power issue with t...

D-BG4 Problem
Hi I noticed at the weekend that my grip on the K5 was not working but put it down to a dead battery. Unfortunately I have discovered that the problem is that one of the spring loaded contact pins on the top of the grip is jammed in flush with the plastic surrounding it and will not release. ...
