not sure what model you use.
M on my a300, I set the dial to control shutterspeed.
to change aperture , i just AVbutton+dial

F58.
1. TTL means Through The Lens, mean the in body eV metering still works and it relies on it. so it will Not Fire at full power. it will fire a light(little) flash for TTL detection before it fires the 2nd power to match the metering.
*if it fires at full power, check the contact on the camera flash hotshoe. it might be improper contact, thus ur F58 only recieve fire command, then it fires at full.
2. u can set to manual mode even in other creative dail mode (A, S, P mode). on the F58, press Fn till the menu comes up. press left 4 time till u reach C04, set to PASM, (u will see a little c pop up beside the hss word), now u can use manual at all mode, it is overwrited.
3. quick change, why do u need to change aperture and shutter speed at same time? pressing and hold the [+/-] buttom and turn the dail will change the other viceversa of aperture/shutterspeed depending what u set in the menu for the dail to run.

easy, cz boost the mirco contrast by little bit. and cz is ultra slimmer then B+W.

just bought 2 units of cybertik MZ45

can i use this as slave for strobisme using just the pop-up flash, or mounted F42/F36?

bro, u never read the manual ?
both setting for F58 and how to adjust Aperture in M mode is stated in the manual.
If u lazy to read the hard copy.. U can download a soft copy, use the search function in the Acrobat Reader. Go to the topic u wan to know.

yah, not all alpha model got 2 dials.. unlike a700/a850(confirm me on this?)/a900
u set the dial for Aperture, so cant change the Shutter?
actually u CAN change the shutter also.. using the SAME DIAL button..

all u have to do is HOLD the AV button and use the dial..
this will change ur SHUTTER SPEED...
and if u're already familiar..
later u can set the dial for Shutter, and anytime u want to change the Aperture just HOLD THE AV button and dial it..

we learn sumthing today eh?

.



ha ha ha hkhk, pawned lah you..

guys, no need to be so hostile to each other, we are from the same family~ hkhk is just trying to point out, coz this question has been ask over and over more them 20 times till this v35... so it's a little annoying when ppl dont read the manual before asking. unlike some of us, willing to repeat what we answer over and over again

nashakir, u really have to play with the camera intensely for a month to get use to the way it works, it works very diff from canon or nikon. sony has it's on pattern to use, even A300/330 work so diff with A550 play with it more

and freddy manson, like hkhk, i recommend u to read the manual, or test it out urself. i dont expect myself to use google to search for the answer that u can do it urself and congrats on ur purchase. u buy 2 summore? is it cheap? is the TTL accurate in WL mode? i am soooo poison by Metz flash, but they are freaking expensive...

Your eye wont be able to notice it the pre-flash, unless u r using a rear curtain.

Which sentence blame u? It's all in your mind, bro.

DSLRA300 manual page 63, no2 explain on the Manual setting. It's not too hard to understand.
HVLF58AM manual page 43-first 2 sentences, page 45 last sentence and then page 74-76, particular on C04.

chill bro..

i missed the page i think..

btw all my question answered..

now still playing with the flash.. exploring features... question might come out again..

the manual is written to simple and i cant really get it after reading it twice (enuff la twice, later2 baru read again)
i'm in the process of trying but the problem is i cant get them to work together..
i.e if i use the MZ45 on the body (mounted) then it'll work..
but when i put the MZ45 and F42/36 they didnt fire.. even if i mounted F42.. (maybe mau F58? aiyaaa)

i got 2 unit for the price of 1 F42

ieR : no wonder.. now i get it..

hkhk : sry

freedy mansion : quite complicated huh? well.. good luck..

High-speed Transcend Ultimate Class 10 SDHC Cards

So you’ve probably gotten your Christmas present, perhaps your long-awaited gadget that can capture Full HD videos, or that new camera that allows you to snap pictures with a megapixel count so high, you can blow the picture up to a big banner; what’s the use without a memory card that can’t let you fully utilize your powerful gadget? Transcend recently just announced its Ultimate Class 10 SDHC cards with the ability to transfer at a speed of up to 20MB/s and with a large storage capacity of up to 16GB.

Compared with Class 6 SD cards that only guarantee write speeds starting from 6MB/s, the new Class10 SDHC can write up to a whooping 16MB/s and read up to 20MB/s. This allows for smooth and lag-free usage, especially when recording Full HD videos at 60fps. Highly recommended for entry to mid-level digital camera or camcorder users, the new range of SDHC cards are available ranging from 4GB to 16GB. The 16GB version can store more than 6000 images at 5-megapixels, or up to 240 minutes of HD video. Why carry around so many memory cards and risk loosing them, when all you need for your holiday is just one?

Has anyone been to Bali before? Im going next month la. Just wanted to know what kinda places should I visit? Im going for 4d 3n. Oh and kinda lens should I bring along ah? Only 11-18 and 50mm would do right?

Wonka : Just bring all your lenses lo. (: And flash too. For me my flash is too important to not bring. (:

i think 1118 and 50 will do all fine job for u....
UWA for landscape while 50 for specific street or portrait job...

any diffuser u guys can recommend...???so far i got a stofen like diffuser and a home made bounce card diffuser....

I was planning to bring my shoulder bag only. Dont wanna bring too many stuffs cause too heavy -.- Maybe I get a new backpack for that lol.
