pidz ur friend came here a while ago...he is my classmate diay from way back hehehe!
anyways, i checked the camera, some settings were "wrong" so i changed the settings, tried shooting again ang again, even had him adjust the the exposure compensation again and agian, perfect exposure every time...but even then lekramo siya my walls look so white kaayo kuno so i pluged it in the pc then he agreed they looked PERFECT
he grabed the camera ang pointed it away not even looking thru the view finder and took a snap (wish i had a copy of the file he took and posted it here...the only pic that was over exposed in our tests.)
the right side covered my arm and table about a foot away. the rest of the images was the back of my office up to 5-8 feet away. my table and arm true enough was over exposed but thats coz the metering was made at the back of my office and my table (dominant white) and arm was right in front of the flash!
understandable diba?
with his complain about the flash...REMEMBER, 300D DOESNT have flash exposure compensation (FEC) so adjusting the EC doesnt equate to the amount of light the flash gives out!
i tried teaching ur friend how to use the camera correctly. then we took series of shoots. perfect exposure every time even with the builtin flash.
but still he insists on what he believes to be a busted camera. *sigh*
anyhow, again...its USER FAULT...and his WRONG understanding of how the camera works...
exposure compensation is not the same as FEC!!
