i have not much chance to take more photo, especially to use the flash.

here is one of the in studio off camera flash i taken during the Sony NEX studio workshop. Triggered by the optical sensor.

Now there is endless possibility to use NEX for professional shooting, depends on personal skill and setup. thumbup.gif

Anyone have try to use the JJC MSA-010 hotshoe adapter with any wireless trigger?
i tried to mount the Yongnuo YN603C on the hotshoe and YN468 flash, i found it is not sync since the sync indicator light is not on.
i have set the switches to same channel.
I mount the YN468 directly on the hotshoe, the flash is working well, but not with the YN603C.
Dunno what's going wrong.
Anyone can enlighten me?
*
im also facing this problem.. but with yn rf 602..
the hotshoe trigger flash via big round metal at the centre..
sadly the rf602 (and rf603 if im not mistaken) is trigger via proprietary pins...

the solution.. sell your rf 603 and bought cheaper trigger like phottix pt-04

Target 1/60 on 50mm for minimum freezing shutterspeed on reasonable static subject,not the jumping or heavy action one la.
Captain Obvious will say use f1.8 or lower to give more stops.
Freestyle handheld is not something everyone can do la.Even 1/8 speed addy shake like pissing but I know some bionic steady hand take up to 2 secs with full jedi mind focus.
Spray and pray with continuous burst and hope you can get 1 usable shot with not too slow speed like 1/10ish.
Foolproof method to bounce flash with trigger but not sure how to do it efficiently on nex as I remembered I need to get a hotshoe adaptor with pc port to use my cheapo slave flash on older a300,because flash fires before shutter.You can get a lot of cheap radio trigger for manual flashing.TTL trigger will cost a lot more or reasonable priced TTL cable provided you owned a sony speedlight.

Can't wait to see the standard hotshoe on all newer sony model as that opens up a lot to use 3rd party stuff and hope they play nice.

im using nikon old speedlight...
got non-ttl auto function...
enough for me atleast...

You guys should join the Sony Style Workshop, especially the flash photography workshop.
It is a lot of fun when you adventure into off cam flash!
even with simple kit lens can get you great sharp pic!
i'm just started to go into this. Will share with you guys on my latest setup which is work for NEX3/5/5N, while keep it lowest cost.

Sadly, you don't understand the strains of my life.

I need to have portability, but yet quality. Thus, the invention of a Nex that supports Flash/EVF and ISO hotshoe.

DSLR weighs twice as heavy compared to a Nex with a flash attached on.

same issues with me...
still using nex 3 though...
