As promised, the test-shots for the BOUNCE FLASH test from my NEX-F3.

---> First photo - No Flash. Notice how dark the ambient lighting is in the room.



---> Second photo - With Flash (Direct Angle). Notice how harsh the flash affected the subject.



---> Third photo - With Flash (Angled to Bounce). Perfectly exposed shot.



Oh yeah, just loving my new NEX!

shockk... nice pic...
the first pic using what ISO ???

Yay, i just got myself SONY NEX5ND yesterday -- a white color So happy that I got it..

Thanks.

ISO 2500 on 1/60 exposure.

Of course, the NEX is very capable of taking photos without the flash due to the large APS-C sensor.
But sometimes, the lighting is just not enough and the flash is a 'must' to use, especially when you want to take photos with family and friends.

Nice sample there shockk
Maybe should consider that before 5N

nice pics there with bounce flash! is the standard detachable flash for previous model nex 3,c3 able to do this?

That detachable flash cant do this
If they able to do, the F3 tilt-able flash wouldn't be a selling point.

can't it be forced to tilt up?lol

Fuhh!!!... how big is that room?

but 5N flash also can adjust the angle right? just that the 5N flash will keep on stay outside... not like F3... pop out type...

The flash come with package can't adjust the flash direction but the big one can.

nice test. but you could keep the ISO fixed though...

Actually I love the 5N's touch screen, but the flash of the F3 is too irresistable.

The F3 can still sell one. Sony didn't even state the 'tilt-able flash' feature in any of their advertisements. I guess cause they want people to buy those NEX external flash for the F3.

It looks force-able only. And that's it.

Haha. Not so big, bro. Typical plaster ceiling height.

5N flash definitely cannot angle. It's the same design as NEX 3, 5 and C3.

1st photo ISO 2500
2nd photo ISO 200
3rd photo ISO 1000

No point to keep the ISO fixed as it would defeat the purpose on my demo. Just imagine ISO 1000 on the 2nd photo, the flash would totally blow-out the subject.

Hmmm like that i have to buy external flash unit together with nex-5n liao..
haiz.....

there must be DIY for bounce flash using standard flash..like attach something that can reflex the flash to the ceiling

Yup. Just a bit troublesome to bring an extra device only.

Many ways actually. The world is not the end.
My friend uses a white card attached to his Olympuse EM5 to bounce the flash to the ceiling. But what I don't like with such DIY setup is that it looks really weird, ruins the outlook of the NEX, and worst of all it reduces the already-low-powered flash's effectiveness.

I see people also putting big big card on the detachable flash,
the card even bigger than, or more attractive than the camera

But one thing, do you always bring the card whenever you go ?
or do you always mount the ext. flash ?
