cjlai : wahhh nice priceeeeee . u bringing in???

my friend got order something from HKg before, got delayed 3 weeks from ETA (1 week in kastam )

The good thing of sending your stuff to Sony Style@The Curve is after office hours time, but I believe your stuff will be transferred to Mid Valley as well for servicing.

As for the good part of sending to the Service Center at Mid Valley directly; if the issue is not fully solved, you can request the counter to ask the engineer to come over and talk over the issue that you have (might be the case of misunderstanding of what you really have). Happens to me when I had an issue with my A300 mirror box, I had a chat with the service engineer to have them understand my problems).

the other solution to that is that prior to going to the SC, i listed everything i wanted to fix onto a paper, the counter person only had to copy everything into the service sheet, and your piece of paper is attached together with your gear inside the plastic bag, so the engineer will have a 1st hand information directly to them. no misinterpretation.. but of coz, you had to make your point clear and direct. and use proper grammar..

ok tq..

since using external flash would depends on the body.. i would like to see the available setting if fitted..
flash like F42 or F58 on A380.. not much info though..

i only can play with built-in flash..
what i notice the slowsync is actually like fill-in flash.. which automatically slowed down the shutter speed..
if i manipulate it using fill flash and M/S mode with slow shutter.. the result is the same..

using slow shutter is nice.. the flash not so harsh.. but cannot freeze the movement..
if external flash can help to produce the better IQ.. and can blend the pic well..
i would like to get one..
