Question:

What do you cal the zoon technique (in which the photographer zooms in rapidly, then zooms out before the shutter closes) that prodices a line looking effect in photos!? i also notice the lighting tends to looks slightly more dramatic, and the image is a little distorted!. I've done it before with the Canon Rebel Xt but am trying to figure out how to do it with the Minolta!. Thanks

It is the result of manually zooming your cameras lens during a long exposure !.!. 1/2 second or longer!. Your camera is capable of shooting up to 4 second exposures!.

Your Minolta may be called a pro camera, but it is not even close to being a camera one would use to complete professional assignments!. If is over six years old and while it cost nearly $1000 new, you can buy two Nikon D40's with lenses for less!. Technology has indeed marched on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
