PerryGe Batteries? We don't need no... . . . or cards.  More info | Jan 11, 2009 20:47 | #1 Ok, I'll be the first to admit it: I've lost some GREAT shots because I was too busy chimping. I'm now considering trying to wean myself from the need to chimp, but it's hard - I need to chimp my histograms! Perry | www.perryge.com

Self-evaluation on the fly? I admit, I'm a chimping hypocrite. I chimp, but I also make fun of people who chimp. oh haha - maybe it wasnt so clear - but basically i was saying i've missed more shots (or had to delete more shots) because i didnt check exposure or for camera shake... so just messing up and not realizing it and just continuing without adjusting my settings http://www.paradigmphotographyoc.com

Lacks_focus Goldmember  1,025 posts Likes: 2 Joined Oct 2006 Location: Coventry, CT More info | I have it off. I don't think I've ever had it on. It's not that I don't review shots, it's just I don't need then popping up after each capture. I can't imagine how annoying it would be if last image popped up after each shot while I was shooting a hockey game! I'd go blind, and the battery wouldn't last all three periods! 1D MKIII | FujiFilm X10 | 24-70 f/2.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 | 135 f/2 | 85 f/1.8 | 580EX |

I do it rarely, just to make sure I'm getting what I want. I usually shoot bands, so relying on the metering isn't always preferred. Always have to check and make sure I'm not totally screwing up lol. 40d | 10-22mm | 28-135mm | 50mm 1.8II | 430exII | 7500tm tripod | filters, bags, books and a very long wishlist.
