Nothing stops you from thinking a lot with digital cameras, too, I always break out in a sweat during photo sessions for thinking so much :-)
I have first to get accustomed to it ;.)
If you have enough backup space (shouldn't be a problem with the cheap external drives nowadays) keep ALL your raws. In some time you'll look at them very different, what you consider failed today might be a great image in future. I still suffer from my beginners error to throw away "failed" negatives that now I'd really love to have...
No, I keep all my negatives. The problem is remembering where :-p
For instance... this new camera has a mind of its own: if it thinks there are no conditions for taking the photo, it doesn't shoot.
I guess your camera is connected to google. google always knows better what you want than yourself.
LOL. Not mine. No bluetooth, wifi, or gps. It actually has the GPS word in the body, but it is a connector for an external unit. This thing has no socket to connect my old mechanical cable for shooting... how do you call them in English... photos at a very slow setting, without touching the camera. My cable was probably made in the thirties. Like a thin bicycle brake wire. Instead, I would have to buy a remote by radio controller. I guess it is expensive. But I have a preference for nocturnal photos :-)
I went to a wedding this weekend and missed a few good shots because the camera refused to shoot.
This can happen, for example, when the camera is set to autofocus and cannot focus, because it's too dark, too misty, too close... what ever are the limits of your autofocus.
Yes, exactly. I went by the "Puerto de los Leones" mountain pass, in Madrid, recently. I saw some big birds circling. Eagles? I started shooting, choosing the "sports" setting. I suddenly realized that the camera automatically selected multiple shots. Nice. But it tried to autofocus between shots, and several times it went so blurry that I could not even see and point at the bird at all and missed it when it was nearest. Argh.
Maybe it cannot find a "useful" automatic setting of ISO/aperture/speed.
Then use manual focus (or autofocus on a part with enough contrast at the same distance and keep the trigger half pressed until you go back to the desired frame) or manual ISO/aperture/speed settings. Just experiment.
Yes. I have to learn how to do all that, and practice. These cameras have too many settings, compared to my old reflex: diaphragm, speed, distance (plus zoom). Half automatic, I think. I knew how to do handle those ;-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
