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

Have tried my flash at home last night. I notice that :
1) shuttle speed is fix at 1/125 when plug in external flash. Unable to manually change the shuttle speed. Is this normal?
2) Will external flash follow body setting ( fill-flash , slow etc.. ) ?
3) When set the external flash on auto zoom, some time will encounter under exposure. This is because of IR light reflection not accuracy? However, manage to recover when go to manual mode ( 24mm, 105mm etc )
4) External flash and body need calibration?
5) What mean by Fn buttom on external flash? No function when I pressed.
6) Felt that external flash is heavy and imbalance, can make our body horseshoe to crack? Is it need any external stand to support between body and external flash?

i think so

as what other sifus said, auto zoom only 90% accurate. u might need other accessories to help get ur exposure right. first is the AEL button, or use stofen or correct angle of bounce...etc....................

if loose then got hear before....crack then......no...

7) Where can I get F58AM user manual ?
if u buy first hand ori f58..the manual comes in the box
isn't that external flash need to select wireless.. so others cannot choose..
slow flash just slow the shutter i guess.. u can get similar result if play with the shutter..
u select wireless only when u need the flash to be triggered wirelessly although ur flash still can be fired in wireless mode when u place the flash on the hot shoe.
