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

huhu so fa 1st want to ask when is sony next release new dlsr product?

merry christmas....!!!
congratz on v35 thread.....
wish everyone of u can buy as many high-end gears and poison or being poisoned here..

Q : I have asked this before but no one is answering, so here I go again :-). If my subject is moving towards my camera, what should I do to get a sharp focus (using A200) ?

based on those sifu teach me hor, use AF-A

good morning everyone! congrats V35 already and hope it'll keep coming strong! Merry Christmas =p

Usually I won't get sharp focus when using this mode

Any new bodies coming out?

Try AF-C... AutoFocus - Continuous
In this mode you won't hear the focus lock beep. Use the Red focus-point indicator and the solid green dot at bottom of the OVF.

Well, I wasn't really reading the manual so I kinda just 'belasah' any setting I could think of with my minimal amount of knowledge.

The pictures were at night, and I was in a moving vehicle. I guess that was that killed the pictures.

Btw, thank you for your tips. I appreciate it a lot.

Merry Christmas to all alpha user..=)
