Fellas , got one really noob question. When shooting in LV mode with external flash gun attached are there any way to 'trick' the LV thinking that we're going to use lower shutter speed so that we can view the composition at the LV. So far if indoor shoot try to use LV (shutter speed 1/80 f5.6) In LV is too dark.

If there is a section of this explanation in the manual i am truly sorry. Tried looking about this in both of the manual. But didn't find any (or so i think :\ ).

change to shutter priority use slow shutter..u should be able to see something...thats what i always do..when shooting danbo with flash...99% im shooting in manual flash power + manual exposure on my a300...so i couldnt see anything from my LV...i always go go shutter priority to check my focus n compo..den back to manual to shoot =p

achew, wanna ask u the zeiss in your pic is 16-70? can fit into 5 MDH??
*
i suppose u mean 1680??

nope..its CZ2470 2.8....much bigger n heavier than 1680...but still..it could be fit into my 5MDH...

right now my 5MHD can only put in my a850+2470 + F58..already feel like its going to explode..lol..its time to get 6MDH or something bigger for me =)

i wan to ask rite is there any "big" diffrence between A350 and A550, if just if i can upgrade to a higher level should i go for A550 or...
*
u can always upgrade to the highest level..if u need it..and u r able to make a full use of it... smile.gif

to me..550 is totally from a diff league with 3xx series....and the biggest diff from my point of view is the sensor..ISO performance really beats the 3xx series miles n miles away..

not to mention it also has stuff like hdr blablabla..(i believe u can find all these from the reviews or even sony website)..

thinking of getting the aplha A230L...around RM1799.... any comment or review on this for a DSLR beginner ?

how much the cost for a longer  zoom lens from Sony ?  icon_question.gif
*
how long??200mm?300mm??400mm?? =p

i think its better for u to define ur budget for the lens..and we can suggest u on the brand/model accordingly.

achew: If you had the F20, you can use the F20 in TTL as a compact pop-up flash that also bounces. I'd suggest you get that so you get 2 true flashes instead of one flash which you always have to bring whether you need a big flash or not.
*
best would be 1 F20...1 F42(or F58)..1F58..wahahaha..so if got 2 flash to play strobes~

y i always said i wanna get a radio trigger its bcoz that somethings i do low key shots(over often)..and my room in singapore is freaking small..so any light spill from the CTLR would spoil my low key >.<

i want ask is a almost 1year old camera battery(A300) normal when shooting for 3hours and 40% battery is gone? ><
*
i think should be ok..consider 100% used up would be around 7.5hours..sounds reasonable especially if u keep using the popup flash and live view..but thats based on my assumption that u almost shooting non stop during ur 3hours...coz if u keep idling..by right ur camera would be in power saving mode which doesnt really consume that much energy

i think its really worth to buy a dry cabinet...afterall it saves some trouble for u...and since we spent a few thousands bucks on camera+lenses..whats wrong to keep them safely in a 200 300 bucks cabinet..


i think if the fungus is not too serious...after cleaning the IQ should not be too badly affected..but its pure guessing..better wait for pro..
