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 use manual white balance.. use grey card

awb didn't work ma?

Looks like the street price will be below 2K then..

the background is veryyyy distracting..

am pretty sure they mistyped the price..

f1.7 la bro.. muhahuahu the f1.8 is the new sony one

the new Sony 50mm f1.8 is a DT lens which can be used only on APS-C sensor.. the super old KM50mm f1.7 can be used on FF camera!

i think the camera raw version that support Alpha raw file does not support CS2..

if the street price around RM450 then it would be nicer

the said dealer sell A330 at suggested retail price or cheaper?

wah.. shutter 1/10s sure blur oneee..

wah.. 'the best' can be very subjective... but if u say the best then u can bring CZ lens lah

i'm using tammy 1750 f2.8 for nearly 99% of my wedding assignments and 1% beercan

budgetwise la bro.. that's why i choose tammy.. how much is CZ1680?
i love tammy for the f2.8 and sharpness.. so far no regret.. budget carik makan lens..

when i bought my tammy last year, it only cost me RM1250.. now price increase eddi..

that one i no need to worry coz i use flash-gun la 99.99999% when it comes to indoor shooting.. sony flash got infrared assist mah..
even kit lens osso got no problem focusing.. (if use flash la)

for creative photography.. i have to give a big thumbs up to achew

for macro king the title can give to ryzan76 la.. even when a bug see him osso they will pose for him
