I might just settle with F42!:D

can save 400 le...not that i need so powerful one for now:)

huh?so F42 cant use on A900?

airtight container + anti-humidity gel.

mine cost me less than RM30 bucks:)

just bought my F42 from foto edar:)....

super blur on how to use it!!!
hope to learn from you guys:

1)what is the used of HSS?
2)can we maintain bokeh effect using flash?

I was shooting just now, a dark place and my flash just focused on the subject in front and due to the super high shutter speed, the background are all blacked out....what i did was going back to M mode(camera) and slow down the shutter speed...i realized that the flash and shutter speed are synced. Is there a way to un-sync it?

For instance, i think to capture more background the flash shud be on a slower shutter ...correct me if i am wrong...stress now!!haha

btw, can canon or nikon diffuser fit F42?if can which model?thanks

thansk, but i was in the open air, i cant bounce anywhere......so i need the flash to go directly to the subject..

i`m so lost...hahah...so for that situation that i mentioned:

outdoor, and dark..the flash only focused on the front object and the back is totally blackout..how to cpature the background?

got it for 750...so the flashspeed cnanot be adjusted?

but i bought F42 ...
wow flash is quite hard to use leh.. i still get underexposed picture hahah...

congrats!

i think only p&s can do multi focus ...try to focus the middle and increase the DOF

so auto flash or manual flash?
what mode u using?M?A?P?S?

What about flash settings ADI/TTL? (i think u are using TTL right?) I dont see the difference using these 2 leh..why ar

wow...thanks bro albert!!!
so, now i know that i need to use HSS in daylight to get the bokeh effect right:)

btw, i`m still quite lost on controlling the flash, i am using auto-mode and realized that the exposure is not well controlled though...

hence i always switch to M(camera) mode while using flash. I also realized that the xposure bar is neglected adi...no matter what shutter speed i use,i will get almost the same exposure because the flash has compensate it(correct?) meaning that camera expsoure will not affect the picture when flash is intact.

my question is i`m not getting the right exposure throughout the whole picture with flash on. for isntance, i was shooting at dark env and i only have my subject well lit. i also relized that i cant control the speed of the flash, (i duno if there is a flash that can contorl it) the flash speed seems to be following cameras shutter speed...

i did a few test, in order to capture more background, i need the shutter to be opnend longer so what i do is, i will still use auto (power & zoom) on flash but i will reduce my camera to 1/20 in order to get the background well lit...is that the only way?

any webbie to recommend to learn how to bounce wall? i realized a lot of restaurants ceiling are black or damn high up...hardly can bounce and i dont have a diffuser...should i get a dome?labency?or bounce card?

cant load youtube sigh...do it tmr!
sorry for a lot of quesition..
thanks
i tried diffuser for canon 430 and it fits f42 but that guy is selling for 129...siao!
