SpOOkY: You don't need to use the wide-angle panel because the flash counts in full-frame terms. That means 24mm on the flash is used for 17mm on APS-C.

You can get the orange flash gel from Digicolor or Eng Tong SS2. I also make a quickly-removable flash gel + holder and include a free lesson with it.

so when do we use the zoom function?however, i still find the exposure is not really well-controlled as compared to EV exposure control (without flash) get what i am triyng to say? hahah....

in short: without flash, the overall frame is well exposed as apposed to with flash..

does metering work with flash intact?

bro albnok... really interested to see how ya make the flash gel holder... i'll improvise and build my own version but any idea how it looks at least would help... got any pics of it bro?

Added on March 30, 2009, 1:23 pmbtw, can we change the flash sync speeD?

SpOOkY: I also working what.

Anyway our TT will extend till late so even if you come at 9pm I'll still be around but at a mamak in Bukit Bintang area lah.

Flash sync speed is fixed, based on the shutter mechanism.

hey i watch the video over and over again..very intersting...so its based on camera shutter mechanism? hmm...so A200 is only 1/60? what about otehrs?


if i need to shoot higher that FSS(flash sync speed) how do i set multiple burst then?
