<p>I have a Canon EOS 1200D and I find it very easy to use. I had Nikon D3300 and I had to read the manual(canon manual was easier as well).I ended up buying Nikon Df and I love it and the reading that goes with it.<br>

Regarding freebies, the first Canon workshop I attended- I got a free Canon cap and now after 4 workshops Nikon has given us free "I am Nikon " sticker and an inferior quality cap :D</p>

<p>I still feel - head to head- as a beginner, Canon 1200D was much easier to use the the Nikon D3300.</p>

<p>thanks,<br>

Yes it was the greenish cast that was the problem.<br>

I was shooting RA+JPEG fine but good to know that RAW is not affected as much by in camera white balance.</p>

<p>I am new at this but the problem was with green in a fluorescent lighting.<br>

By hit an trial, worked out that exposure by -1 and picture control setting of fuji reala was closest to the what I saw with my eyes.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>After having the exposure corrected and white balance set with expodisc, I still could not get the colours to get proper while chimping.They were too bright and saturated.<br>

Silly me , don't know why , I had set my monitor brightness to +5, changing it to zero and the colours look as they should.<br>

<p>Sorry, I have to start a new thread but I had read somewhere that the ISO ANSI standard of 1974 for calculating metering is a paid document .<br>

I have found the equivalent free Indian standards Institute document which claims to be based on ANSI 2720:1974<br>

.<br>

It is here:<br>

<p>I have not been able to find the 2011 revision of the NASI document.<br>

Interesting article about using your hands to assess focal length of the lens to be used.<br>

http://www.dslrsolutions.net/3298/using-your-hands-as-focal-length-calculator/</p>

<p>Two hands wide at an arms length is 50mm lens (full frame).</p>

<p>Has anyone tried a pocket folding hair comb for this.<br /> http://www.mensdirect.com/product/Kent-Mens-Folding-Pocket-Comb-82T/tools-hair-brushes-combs<br /> or<br /> a Quilling comb like this which is 3.9 inches wide.<br>

<br /> The pupillary distance could be marked on the comb by looking in the mirror and then measuring the distance.<br /> Once that is done, then the distance markings(as calculated by the program) be put on the bristles and the bristles between two marks removed.<br /> The handheld comb would be convenient to hold and fold when not in use.<br /> If instead of arms length, one enters the length at which the comb is held with the arm straight and comfortable then one can comfortably and effectively use this.<br /> ..and unlike me, if you have any hair left worth combing- the infinity end of the scale can be used for that as well :)</p>

<p>I will try and jig this over next week or so.</p>
