mind sharing why isit suffering to use A mode on A300?
Let's just say that time my flash is not co-operating with me.

Edit: I wanted full control over my flash to get the results I want. Btw, that time was using F42 which I can't control manually on A mode.

i think u shud understand how ur A/M mode works with flash.
i am one that will always recommend M mode if you are using your flash as the main light..
however, for daytime fill flash, i will recommend one to use A mode...
just a personal preference perhaps..

wha7ever: You can enable Manual Power flash while in Aperture Priority - it's a custom function on your F42. Refer to your manual on how to activate it.

Before I got my first flash, I was already using M all the way with my camera hence didn't explore much on P A S mode using a flash. When asking advise on wedding photography, most photogs advise to stick to A or S and let the camera do the work. But all else failed, hence stick back to M which I'm much more comfortable in:D

why say so?
1) 17-50 max is 2.8 whilst the other is 1.4
2) most primes are distortionless (can be ignored) as apposed to 17-50..
3) sharpness of primes are pretty awesome too

jr.precrime:

Do you need the F1.4 for faster shutter speeds in low light without flash? If so, go ahead.

Do you need the shallow DOF? If so you may be better off with a telephoto lens.

Do you want something you can use and keep the big Tamron at home? Get the Sigma 30mm F1.4 instead, the angle is far more usable.

since u guys talking about flash, I have a few questions here .. smile.gif ..

I normally using Aperture priority on my camera to shoot. The problem is when I using flash with TTL. It does not give it constant exposure eventho the aperture is same and shutter set to 1/60. Sometime it is too dark something too bright .. any tips on using it as auto (TTL) mode? ..

I have to manually adjust the flash power by putting on manual .. sad.gif .. it is OK but a lil bit leceh ..

for me there are some ways to shoot with flash...
1st is always shoot RAW coz we still can rescue the photo while jpeg cant do tht too much...
2nd is control the flash power via the flash compensation in your camera, it should allow u to control the power of ur flash output, no need to control via the flash itself...

hmmm when u mean not constant exposure, are u refering to the subject or background?

i duno if there is this function in sony or not where when u are in A/P/S (other than M mode) with flash on, u can actually turn on a balance-fill in the flash where it will adjust the background exposure accordingly. this is only useful when the background is much birghter (fill flash)
