Direct flash is ok with tele photo lens la. Bouncing is waste of battery juice. I do direct also when i'm on 70-200

How did you use the SB900 till it overheats? Granted I dont have an SB900, but I use SB800s with 5 batts a lot, and have never, ever gotten it to overheat in the past 4 years...

SB-800 don't have such issue because it don't come with temperature control IIRC. |

QUOTE(Isepunye @ Nov 8 2010, 03:07 AM) picture spam. taken during helping my frens both Ministry Of Moment (MOM) for those who doesnt know MOM, one of the photographer is ex candid syndrome. he has awesome skills. his name is sapex @ shafiq akmal who's MOM??..and who's sapex@shafiq akmal??..» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « (miss malaysia photo album) Added on November 8, 2010, 3:29 am nikon all 1 year warranty. overheat can be overcome if u know the right technique. if u simply burst like other flash, sure gonna overheat. the reason why is SB900 are too powerfull and still almost no battery can cope its power. sometimes,the problem with sb900 overheating is caused by the battery itself that cant cope with the flash unit..the battery itself overheat..some had said that by using a normal 1.5v battery will overcame this as most of us is using the 1.2v re-chargeable battery right? |

^ those normal disposable batteries don't overheat much because their cycle rate is slower compared to rechargeable. Try it yourself. Time the 1/1 flash power recharge rate and compare between disposable and rechargeable.
