well, there are few reason not to use hss...
point 1 is i would like fast cycle for prep for next shot, hss take up more power.
point 2 using more power means, faster batt drain, i prefer possible to use lower power to conserve battery if u are shooting a 4-5 hour session.
point 3 using more power means, hss has higher 'batt' overheat tendency then firing 1/2 on same amount of frequency.

will only use HSS when needed, not all time. because high shutter speed affect the background eV.

but Yes, hss will prevent pop up appear on subject (at certain condition too)

other way is, using longer zoom length... eg 50mm, that way, u keep more distance from ur subject (and less wide distortion on wide angle shots).

oh mai gawd... #1 and #2 is freaking AWESOME !!! where is this place?

Added on February 9, 2011, 9:18 amYeap, later if you found out the flash works but it has faulty hotshoe so it can't connect to your camera. Also if you find that if the flash can't sync properly with your camera shutter (ie. flashes after u press your shutter, resulting in underexposed pic, bring along an ink rubber and rub at the metal contacts of the hotshoe on your camera. Happened to me)

we already have these few lenses right? what's the different?

those are lenses for the E-mount.

50mm also for E-mount?

but i heard A-mount 50mm want to discontinue.. then how?

those are just rumours i guess. no solid announcement from sony yet.

about 1 hour .. 300+ photo

u need a sturdy tripod and remote
need to take photo about 1h - 2h .. depend on how long u want to create your movie
for 30sevond video i use about 300+ photo and merge them using quicktime pro..
before u load your photo into quicktime pro i suggest u to resize all your photo .. i use 1024 x 680

btw i use this web to learn time lapse : http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/ult...se-photography/
