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

i tell u, for indoor/low light, flash is a must.. unless u have big aperture lens like f1.4.. and f1.4 sometimes osso cannot help.. subject must stood still.. increase iso..

anyway, tammy 1750 is a good kit lens replacement... i use one.. ..but for indoor not enough lah.. i still use flashgun nearly 99% for my wedding assignment (indoor)..

50mm f1.7 bokeh.. taken at f2.8 though..

e-jump.. congrats.. how's the shot at 17mm?

sure heavy mah.. tammy is 434g while kitlens is only 235g .. minimum focus distance is 38cm for kitlens and 27cm for tammy

not say perfect la.. but definetely better than kitlens.. constant f2.8 summore.. help me a lot during my wedding assignments..

yeah CZ is premium stuff.. go fot it if u have the budget

corrected shot..

yeaaaaaaaaahuuuuuuu.. another wedding assignment completed..

make sure u can COD and test kaw kaw b4 buy

ahahaa.. that one Double Exposure la dude.. many lowyat alpharian enter.. example smashpop, hanafinoor, siskj etc etc
