pilotdave 0 #2 January 24, 2008 Sport mode does a good job. If you don't like something about it after a while, you will probably know what setting you want to change. Why not just look through both cameras to see where they match up? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's what I would do: estimate the approx distance that you expect to be from your subject in the sky. Now use any other fixed object like a chair or a wall as your subject now take a picture and match the zoom to your video lens. It helps to have your video camera in your hand so you can turn it on and view the "scene." As far as settings go. I am 100% positive that if you do a search you'll find a shitload of helpful advice. My advice is to read those posts and dont be afrid to snapp a few thousand pictures on the ground. go out side and take close-ups of flowers, take landscape shots learn the difference by using MANUAL settings. Then when you get the hang of it you'l be able to tweak your camera for most situations. dont forget to learn about the sunny 16 ruleMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a novel concept, indeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
