Advice for photographing people, When to take the picture?
When I photograph people, I'm not sure how the counting works. Do I say 1,2,3, and then press the button a second after saying the 3? Or do I press the button on 3? Also, I always see people smiling before I even start counting, should I take pictures if they already look ready?
3 AnswersPhotography7 years agoEbay buyer wants partial refund for Gameboy Advance Games?
I sold my GBA collection with 20 games and the buyer wants a partial refund because some of the games have run out of battery. I stated in the listing that everything works, but I didn't know it would be relevent to say that the pokemon batteries have run out and I didn't say anything about that. The games still work even without the battery, but time-based events don't work like growing berries. The buyer wants $10 to repair each game that has run out of battery. How should I solve this problem because I don't want to get negative feedback?

2 AnswersCameras8 years agoHow do optical viewfinders work?
I'm thinking of getting a DSLR for the viewfinder but i'm wondering, do you see what the lens see? Is it a processed image? If you increase the ISO, does the brightness increase? Can you see as much detail through it as your eye so that you can focus easily? What does the coverage mean like on some cameras it is 95% or 100%. What do people mean by the brightness of the viewfinder?
2 AnswersCameras8 years agoWhat do I do if I have a bad shot in an interview but still want the voice?
In an interview, I zoomed in and had the persons face too much towards the left, cutting some of it off. I still want the voice, so should I have some b-roll or should I cut it from the video. Also if I have parts of the interview I want to cut out, do I just cut and have the video jump to the next sentence which will make my video look bad with the subject and things in the background suddenly move to a different position or do I go to a different scene or have b-roll. What do I do with unwanted footage?
2 AnswersVideo Cameras8 years agoDo cameramen use 2 cameras to show different angles?
I see in the news and live videos that they show the scene zoomed in and then it's is cut to the next scene which is zoomed out but the audio is seemless like they have one camera zoomed and one camera zoomed out. Same goes with angles, they'll be at one angle and switch to a different angle, but the audio doesn't change.
