Pardon???
Answer by Bob on 03 Jan 2010 11:35:10I would love to know why you repeated this very strange question THREE times, in the camera section, no less?
Just in case others also have a hard time figuring out that question - let me repeat it for you:
Is there a certain amount of friends to have on my space?
Which, I think, actually means:
Is there a limit to the amount of friends you can have on myspace?
For a while now, I haven't been able to use my Nikon D40's flash feature because it is just so blindingly bright. I have been trying to fix it using different settings and everything and am starting to get a headache from the harsh flash.
When I first got the camera, the flash was fine. I could take pictures up as close as I wanted with the flash.
One day, I went to try it, and the flash just about killed my eyes. The picture turned out nearly solid white.
I've tried restoring the settings many times, but it still hasn't worked.
I've tried taking apart the thing that pops open with the flash and didn't see anything weird in there.
I don't know what else to do now.
I really don't want to hear "just stand further away from your subjects" because I KNOW it worked fine before.
The last thing I want to do is pay money to get it fixed...
So, help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd be very surprised if there's anything different or wrong about your flash. These devices are designed to light at one intensity and just don't vary from that.
Perhaps you're standing to close to your subject. Recommended distance is in your owner's manual.
Try a smaller aperture.

There is nothing to restore. The settings on a dSLR are all on the go. There is no normal setting. It might be best for you to set your camera to full automatic, including the flash. If that does not work out, try getting one of those flash diffusers to spread out the light.
Standing further away is THE solution. If you can figure out the controls to manually set the flash to lower settings then good for you. I think the manual would be your best friend right now.
With most seasoned photographers, strong light is always a welcome treat. You can tone it down electronically or physically and you can adjust the camera's aperture and shutter speed to get different effects. Better have more and make it less than have less and want more but can't do anything about it.
Oakleys look great whoever wears them.
And I have no idea how to change the f stop...i figured out ISO settings though...i looked in the manual and still couldn't figure it out...
also, I want to know what the best settings are for this camera when I want to take pictures of snow, during the day and during the night. Answers soon would be appreciated, as the snow storm will be over tomorrow and not as beautiful.
i thought the D60 was nikon...and also to change the fstop should be automatic on that camera as far as i know... if you would liek to change it try turning that knob to either M for manual or Av for aperture priority
Answer by madmax18765 on 02 Jan 2010 05:59:26I guess you have a Canon EOS 60D. In Manual mode you can change shutter speed and Aperture both. If you shoot in Aperture priority mode you can only choose to set your aperture and the camera meter decides the shutter speed according to light conditions. In a snowy environment I would choose low ISO settings, and an Aperture of f8 or higher and automatic White Balance. If you are shooting close-up or particulars, just change aperture to f6 or lower. Check your camera for preset scenes, it may includes a snow preset scene. Hope this help.
Answer by Yoorala on 02 Jan 2010 06:42:59
I am looking to buy an SLR camera for everyday use, and some artistic kind of stuff. I would like to spend up to about 700 dollars.
I need to know what cameras have the greatest quality, and sharpest images. Just the best camera over all.
Thank you for your time!:)
I would recommend Nikon D5000 with 18-55mm kit lens
- 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor
- D-Movie Mode with sound; record 720p HD movie clips
- one-button Live View
- Low noise ISO sensitivity from 200 to 3200
- Continuous shooting as fast as 4 frames-per-second
It take great sharp & clear images and also take good HD video.

Hey,
All DSLRs have almost same quality. How sharp it is depends if you were moving and on your lens and it's aperture.
For 700$ or less, these are the cameras I recommend:
- Canon EOS XTi
- Canon EOS XS
- Canon EOS XSi
- Nikon D40x
- Nikon D60
- Nikon D3000
- Pentax K-x
If you want video, buy the Pentax K-x. It has HD recording, 12 megapixels, ISO up to 12800, 4.7fps and it's a good camera. It's very cheap for what it offers!
Others are similar, except that some have less/more megapixels and other features. Prices are different too.
I have wrote an article on my blog about 'Which DSLR to buy, what's important, what's not, megapixels, brand, features, models etc. You can read it here - [URL Truncated]
Good luck.
There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start for around $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine. The first link below provides a side by side listing of the cameras that I am recommending below, it will let you compare features and specs and there is links to reviews for 3 of the 4 cameras. Also, a link to photo.net, a good resource for photographers to know about.
Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers have some of these cameras with some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.
Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:
Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR 10 MP with 18-55mm Lens - $429
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $449
EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550
Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. I am shopping and I am very interested in the Pentax K-x. I have been very impressed with some information that I have read online. I have listed a 2nd photo.net link below to a forum where a photographer posted some impressive photos shot at some very high ISO settings (6400, 10000, and 1250.) Also, in the name of full disclosure, I am a Nikon user but have no problem having another brand.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

how do i do it? does it have to be dark what do i do?
I suppose you want to load 35mm film in the camera. UNless you're using sheet film, you don't need complete darkness.
There are many videos that teach you how to load film. Most cameras are loaded in the same way. AF cameras are more automated, though.
I attach you a link to one of those videos. Seeing it helps more than reading it, in my opinion.
[URL Truncated]
There are various ways to start loading it, whether you thread the film first or you start securing the canister in the other side and thread the leader.
One very easy way to find out is to go to the Canon website and look at the description there.
However, about the color accent option: it seems to be a current fad (terribly overused) that teenagers are all excited about. The camera keeps one color and turns everything else black and white.
I would never use such a feature for the following reasons:
. You are very limited in what you can do.
. The function isn't always reliable or accurate. The camera's idea of "red" might be different to yours. It will often include/exclude areas that you don't want to have included/excluded.
. Imagine if you just happened to take your best photo ever, but instead of having a real color photo, you only have some partial b&w thing that might look totally awful. You'd kick yourself.
. If you do the "Selective or Partial Desaturation" (as it is called correctly) in post processing, you have much more control over it, and will get a way better result. Plus you can keep your original color version, too.
This also applies to any color effects done in camera like b&w, sepia or color swap - you're better off NOT to. Doing such things on the computer gives you MUCH better control and a much better result.
If you don't have your own image editor, you can go to [URL Truncated] and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.

ok so im trying to add files to my SD card so i can use them on my wii, but the only way i can do that is put the card in my camera and plug it up to the computer (yes this does work, ive done it on older cameras) but since this is a "newer" camera the computer automatically detects it and wont let me add any kind of files into the SD card/camera unless its a picture...is there any way i can still put them into the SD card through this camera? =(
Go to My Computer and it should have your camera as a separate device listed under devices attached (you should also see your different hard drives).
Answer by Cain A on 05 Jan 2010 09:55:39
i have a Sony Cybershot n50. it's just a little Digital camera, nothing fancy.
but lately it's been taking pictures really slowly! it never has before. it's just...moving slower. like if you move the camera around and look at the screen, it lags.
can anyone help me / know why this is happening?
My canon SD does the same thing if I am not being still enough. I solved this by keeping it on the sports setting- the camera tolerates the motion a bit more for some reason. If that isn't it, you might want to check the battery.
Answer by snapper on 05 Jan 2010 10:01:10If you're taking pictures in low light the camera might be automatically setting a lower shutter speed to let in more light. Or you could have changed the self-timer options.
Answer by T. Le on 05 Jan 2010 10:54:30The Digital Camera is not as good as your eyes. Try shooting in well lighted conditions like outdoors under the sun. If the camera, set at auto, still shoots slowly, have it serviced at the nearest Sony Authorized Service Center.
Answer by keerok on 09 Jan 2010 06:49:45
Basically I am after a hidden camera that no one can see that will record images whilst I leave the room. It needs to be small, record for at least 2 hours without being plugged in and video can then be transferred to a pc,laptop.
I understand a lot if not all need a receiver to record the video, do they all need receivers or can you just place a hidden camera which has enough memory to record rather than transmit?
Just to note the better the quality the better for me
Cheers.
just to add this is not for perverted reasons but security ones. thanks to those genuine people who dont have sick thoughts.

Each one is about 5MB, so I can't email that many in a single email. How can I reduce the size of the picture file so that I can fit more into an email or on a storage zip drive. I know this will reduce the quality, but that is okay with me.
Or should I somehow reduce the physical size of the picture file since they are all at 3648 x 2736?
Try to put them in zip or rar folders they will compress files without losing any quality. Otherwise just convert pictures to GIF fomat but it reduces some quality
Answer by Foxy on 05 Jan 2010 11:12:27Assuming windows Vista or 7.
Open up the photo you want to re-size using Windows Photo Gallery (the default photo viewer)
With the photo selected, choose "E-mail" from the main menu
Select the new image size (i.e. "Medium") and click the "Attach" button
Your email program will open up with the new resized photo as an attachment
You don't have to email the photo if you simply want to save the re-sized photo on your computer. Just click on the photo attachment in the blank email and choose to "Save" it back to your computer.
WARNING: When saving the resized file it is best to re-name it (add "med" or "small" to the filename). NEVER overwrite your original photo with the resized photo.!!
Assuming that you have photo editing software, you should be able to resize and export the image to another location on your hard drive - never mess with originals! Using adobe, you'll go to "Save for web" and then follow the steps to lower the resolution.
Answer by owens40601 on 05 Jan 2010 11:38:13For sending images by email, reduce the longest dimension to 600 to 900 pixels (I use 800 pixels). Save the file as a different name so you don't write over your original file. This should be small enough to email without overloading the recipients mailbox. Any photo editing software can perform this task. If you don't have photo editing software, install Irfanview. Irfanview has basic editing capabilities and is free.
For archiving your images, you can make the file sizes smaller by increasing the compression. This will reduce the file size and reduce the quality of the image. This can be set in your camera. You need to experiment to see which quality setting will work for you. This will only reduce the file size down by no more than two times. Programs like Irfanview will also be able to resave your file with reduced quality (smaller file size).
To archive your images, you really need to transfer them to a DVD. You can save around 800 images to a DVD if the file size is 5MB. Make two copies and keep them in different buildings (one at home, the other at a relatives place or safety deposit box). You can also get external hard drives to back up your images, but I wouldn't consider this safe as hard drives fail and operating systems and programs barf and mess up hard drives.
I've heard realllly goodthings about it like it has ALOT of effects? is that true?
Also it looks really good and i really want a professional camera and this one looks gooood.
If any of u have it please tell me what its features are i don't really trust the websites i'd rather hear it from you guys!
Thanks(:
Seriously? You trust some strangers that could be a 11 year old kid or a wasted person more than places like Amazon, Nikon's website, dpreview and other actual photography sites?
But anyway, the D60 IS a great camera and is worth the money. =)
