  1. cool camera! do you know you can control this camera with an infrared remote? I know..you’re saying “no, this cameras as no IR receiver”. but.. Yap you cant control it wirelessly! great for long exposures and remote shooting! check out how at this link (copy to browsers address bar): remoteALL.bymac.org

  2. spend more time taking photos… dont bother with the vids, thanks

  3. dont forget to rate it….. well i would but all you say is “ummm, er, er (pause) erm….. er, ummmm er….. what a waste of, er umm 10 minutes… shiit.

  4. @MyAndZ I know.. just didnt want to change the whole video.. but yes it shutterspeed and exposure time:)

  5. it’s not shuttertime or exposure time.. it’s shutter speed

  6. @34Muflon thanks

  7. @junyong12 This program you see in the video is Photoshop elements 9… But didn’t edit the photos in this video….:)

  8. what program you use to view and edit the photos ?

  9. @apinta10 But otherwise.. just get out there and shoot:) it is alot of trail and error so patiance is a good thing to bring:) Also if you shoot parts of the night sky then try to change the white balance.. if you use fx. Auto WB then the sky can look kinda of grey but if you use tungsten it will make the sky more blueiss.. but play around with:) Have fun!

  10. @apinta10 when i say dof doesn’t matter its in regards of shooting stars only.. but if you want to shoot scenes on the ground then and use long exposure time then use a larger F stop number.. something like F8 – F16.. if u go to far it may lower the image quality.. and in ground shootings then also use the lowest iso for longer exposure time just not boost like Lo1 ect cause the may result in loss of contrast. Again if theres alot of streetlights and stuff a ND filter can be very usefúll..

  11. thanks. i was wondering about DOF in night scenes. did some test photos yesterday. on:
    site link is:

    thanks for the tutorial.

    one last question:
    can DOF help in Night scenes much? since i like to push it deeper and use exposures for about 4min+

  12. @apinta10 sry.. i accedently removed your 1st comment… but tnx for posting it..

  13. @apinta10 True… the moon was really bright that night so it is possible to stop down with a ND filter.. Well the rule of ISO 100 is so so because i found that if u want to awoid the stars from streaking then the exposure time must not longer the 20 to 25 sec.. If you want to shoot stars without trails then use a small f stop and bump up the iso.. the stars are so far away that Dof doenst matter..all that matters is to get to get a good exposure thats under about 20 sec.to stop the stars motion

  14. However it would also depend on the situation. moon light, street light maybe some of these factors. and also a ND filter if there is more light outside facing the lens.
