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

wow... so fast... jz bring my Q to here... wana ask dat how gd is A700...? coz might plan to upgrade from A300... is dis camera able to take gd pics @ low like condition...? since i saw go comment on Nikon D90 for photo quality in all light condition... can a700 on par wif dis camera...?
i think its time for me to get larger storage as my 4Gb MSPD only alow sub 200 pics if i shot RAW+JPG. Im using A300. Between CFIII and MSPD HiSpeed/HD, which has the faster/better write speed? *im leaning to MSPD as my lappy do not have CF reader and i may need to use the usb cable =__= Or any other suggestion that good enough for me to get that my Alpha can fully utilize, and not bottlenecking it. I'll look into something a stepdown if CFIII and MSPD HiSpeed/HG it too much for a300. I'm looking for 8/16Gb as I do cosplay random stalking shoots Budget would be rm500+ and i believe this will be a 1 time buy that will last 2yrs -------
