Yes but might be a stupid one, ya know on some cameras how when you push down the button for taking a photo a red light appears and illuminates the subject? After which you take the photo...is there a name for that 'feature'? My last camera broke and I want to get a new one but it has to have that feature. Hope I am making sense.....

I'm not sure what you mean - is the red light in the viewfinder? like to show you what you're focused on?
or is is literally a light that lights up the subject like a pre flash for reducing red eye?

Anytime I have seen it it lit up the subject when they pressed the button half way,then the picture was taken when they fully pressed the button.

ah ok - that's autofocus assist. I imagine nearly all cameras have it, sometimes it's visible, sometimes not.

Think they've decided to go with Yesman :pac: - Never seen it. Saw Shawshank last night and again today. 3rd time now, excellent though.

It is indeed. This house is warm for once though. Not looking forward to going out in the morning though with a frozen car!

You sure that is what it is called? Didn't think autofocus produced a bright red light that illuminated the subject...my last camera had autofocus but did not illuminate the subject?

Yo everyone. I don't post much, generally coz it's such a big community and I know nobody. So.... yo.

To whoever is cold - seriously, hot water bottles are the way to go. I have one for my feet and one to put beside me.

It's a half hour drive to my workplace so no walking for me unfortunately. You can use the money you save to buy us all drinks on Friday :P

I hope you have enough water for 2 hot water bottles in the kettle!

I unfortunately dont have 2!!! must invest in a second one! gotta love hot water bottles!

_Roz_ · 13-12-2009 11:23PM

Thanks for the drinks invite but I don't really drink, and would be wary going alone! I'm meant to be going home that day but my bro got roped into doing a presentation at work on the 21st.

Who arranges a presentation for the 21st of December?!

And yes, NurseMar get a second bottle! Have one on your feet - even better than socks!

Indeed.

I love chatting to the new people at meetups, I am a chatterbox after all

Good to put names to faces also (think everyone knows what I look like at this stage ha :P)

Webmonkey · 13-12-2009 11:28PM

yup.

it's an assist that illuminates the subject using either visible or invisible light.

I could of course be wrong. that's not unusual

You do not have to drink Roz, no-one will force you and plenty of people head there alone (nursemar will be one of them), me too. I am organising the beers and as most people know at this stage I exchange numbers with anyone that wants to (so they can meet me beforehand or just text when they get there). Ah sure we have other outings like bowling / cinema / pool etc so we might see you at one of those events.

Where are you from? Get up to anything exciting for the weekend?! A presentation on the 21st! SUCKS!

Maybe. Met people off the net before. Didn't go so well. I like my IRL mates :P Still, I'm only new. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, for anyone who cares, my name isn't Roz. It's Nollaig. You can guess why I don't use it. :P

Weekend has been spent wrapping Christmas presents. And working out if I could get to see Jack L in Killarney (I'm from Kerry) in January (booked the tickets today) - saw him last month here in Cork and thought he was fantastic so I'm dying to see him again.
