tfttf477 – Flash Synchronization Times – Tech Guy

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgChris wants to talk about the difference between flash times on a DSLR. A DSLR has a mirror that shows the image in the viewfinder and when you press the shutter, the mirror swings out of the way. There’s also a curtain which also flips up to clear the way for the light be cast onto the image sensor.

tfttf476 – Wake-up Call

StopWarning, extended format today – you might want to walk an extra round with the dog, iron some more clothes or drive a few additional times around the block.

Chris reports on his recent US workshop tour, he’s be-mourning the crashed (and not backed up) hard drive in his MacBook Pro and Chris shares a few tips with you on how to avoid too much pain in case a hard disk dies (and they WILL die), the why-a-50mm-lens-on-a-crop-camera question makes a reappearance (and Chris has a lot to  tell about this too). Also: catching up on photo day questions that didn’t make it on the show, and the answer to the important question: how is digital ISO different from analog ISO?
