Common Kelvin White Balance Settings :
2500K - very strong orange tungsten light
2800K - strong orange tungsten light
3200K - yellowish tungsten light
4500K M6 - flourescent light (most flourescent tubes are green even though our eyes don't see it)
5500K - flash
6500K - daylight (or daylight-balanced flourescent light)
9900K - strong blue stage lighting or evening light

Xenon lighting is rare but that should be between 7000-9000K.

Whenever you enter a new situation that has different WB, just set your Kelvin WB again and test with one shot. You should be able to do this with practice.

With the Sony A300 and A350, you can use Live View and see the effect of changing Kelvin WB... live!

M = Magenta
G = Green
2500K = Blue
9900K = Amber

Take a picture. Supposing the picture is very Green, you need to add the opposite which is Magenta. If the picture is too Blue you need to go closer to Amber. So if the picture is very blue-green-ish, you will need to go closer to 9900K M9.

To prevent the built-in flash from appearing in pictures when in wireless flash mode, you can use any of these methods, or a combination of them:

- use a darker aperture (e.g. F11)
- use a lower ISO (e.g. ISO100)
- use a shutter speed faster than your flash sync speed so that High Speed Sync is activated (e.g. 1/320th of a second)
- use a piece of exposed, developed negative film in front of your pop-up flash

wah nice video lah.. short and precise.. the only cons is that the video is a little bit dark.

Sensor cleaning video by albnok is now posted on the 1st page!..

but i think all the product shots a little bit overexposed..

that set is original Sony Malaysia warranty la..

last time my friend bought A700 (body only) from the same seller for RM2999.. turn out to be real sony malaysia warranty.. donno how the seller manage to sell at that price..

fuyoo.. that's why the A700 (late last year) only listed for 1 week ..

wah.. how many?
i knew friends jumping ship from C to N and so forth and even c to S.. no big deal.. just like everyday ppl buy proton, then jump to honda and so on

nonid to jump.. buy all.. ... like ianho

haiya.. he also got leica and panasonic
