ahpingko : You wanna know how to DIY A4 paper bounce card? Easy lar... Just follow these steps:
1. Find 1 blank, white coloured A4 paper. 2. Fold the 2 shorter sides of the A4 paper together. 3. Find 1 piece of rubber band. 4. Hold folded A4 paper with short side facing up and wrap A4 paper around the back of your F42AM's flash head. Ensure that about half of the A4 paper extends beyond the flash head. 5. Secure paper in place with rubber band.
Voila!
Cost is zero if you can find A4 paper and rubber band! Hahahahaha! It's an easy DIY cause you can find A4 paper and rubber band almost anywhere.

QUOTE(azamunekurone @ Mar 8 2011, 09:20 AM) SHAM, what is another port below the remote port????direct power supply is the one cover with the rubber below... sadly for me, theres no CF card for this model.as what can i see in the picture and the fastest card in the world is CF card (not SD) and i already invest 16gb CF card for the new 24mp a77  Hmm.... that looks like either mic or a loudspeaker port to me. noticed that it is not covered using any rubber flaps. and yes, it looks like this camera is not going to accept any CF card (looking at the relative size of the door (presumably) for the memory card. if so, then sell your CF card to me cheap cheap lah... my camera still can take it.

BUBOLO said like that.see the link http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/...ews_304848.htmlp/s:yup..the port below remote port!

Just come and intro yourself and then put your cam on the table so that others can find the group too!
