General / Manuel Focus - Wall Color?
« on: March 27, 2014, 03:52:54 AM »
I've been working on trying to get my cameras (1100D's) to focus while being in Manuel focus mode - I've read that the remote trigger pressed half way down will get the cameras to focus while in MF… Over 50 + tests and it hasn't happened yet.
I am only using cards at the moment… tired of dealing with all of the cables - it's a pain in the ass.. with the limited space I have it's worth it, so I am not using any software.
I am also a little unclear as to what settings I should have - Live View, Live View (Face Detection) or Quick Mode.
I painted my walls black for my head captures which worked out great! saved me a lot of time with masking but now that I have 60+ cameras and I'm getting ready to do bodies I'm thinking that it would be best to go back to White - Is anyone having great results with Full Body Captures with Black Walls? From the several tests that I have done the extra light I purchased for the black Walls is really washing out the body so my guess is it's time to get the paint roller out again.
If anyone can shed some light on this i would be grateful.
