Kind regards

Hi Marcus, trust me its not possible to go over anything im aware of, im a complete novice.

ive been putting the ISO on 100 with the camera on TV and a slow speed. ive not seen a natural density filter before so this would be a worthwile inventment i think! i have a poloriser but it was cheap and i dont think it works all that well.

cheers for the response!

Hi bob,

what do you mean by 'dial in correction using compensation'?

I have a Canon 20D, ive only got 2 lenses so far, 18-55 canon and 70-300 sigma.

would i be better putting it in full manual rather than just TV?

thanks also for the reply!
