Hey all,

Just received my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300.

Its got 13.6mega pixel, i really bought it just for shitzngigglez. I had my 5 megapixel for about 5-6 years when digi cams just came out with the 5, first one out :P

Anyways, this camera seems pretty good, i can adjust the "ISO"? which i have no idea is.

But reading around, apparently its good.

So can anyone tell me what the best setup for certain types of photos, portrait, landscape photos, cars, people etc..

What should i set the ISO at?

Thanks :)

ISO 100 - great for taking shots with the sun out and about. Locations with great amount of light. eg) sunny days etc..

ISO 200-400 - overcast type days. Great for indoors. So basically low lighthing conditions.

ISO 1600 - Really not much light. Eg) stage shows etc..

Just remember the higher the ISO the more grainer the pictures get.

Just google search ISO and there is thousands for tuts/articles etc.

If its just point and shoot type camera then just chuck into auto mode and it will do the rest :P

If you have manual options like shutter speed etc, then perhaps muck around with the camera settings.

Otherwise just keep the ISO at 100.

Or put the camera into auto mode and it will adjust automatically.

Ok sounds good.

It will be on auto, but its adjustable to about 3200 and 6400 on 3 megapixel.

Not sure if its possible to adjust the shutter speed but i'll check.

Thanks for tips already :blink:

Ok, found out some information.

I can adjust the exposure manually.

Shutter speed can be selected and set from 30 to 1/1000 seconds.

I don't know why i'm getting into all this mess, but the camera has these functions and ithought i might play with them.

Wow these digicameras these days are becoming like mini slr cameras..

WOW you get up to 30seconds expsoure? thas awesome for a digi camera

But would be useless if you dont have a tripod :thumbsup:

Yea just stick it into auto and see how the pics turn out :)

To be honest with such a massive Megapixel if the sensor is still small you will actually get pixel bleed which kinda looks like "noise"

However from memory the W300 in this situation has a slightly larger sensor and comes equiped with sony' new processor called Bionz.

Which when i went to the sony seminar training for work the bionz looks like an awesome processor

Just my 2 cents

    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
    • I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
