Sony a6000 Wireless Flash

I do not understand how a w/l flash works on a6000 sony... the built-in flash works as a controller or I need some external hardware

The problem is that the built-in flash on the body of the E mount is very low (GEN 4 to 6) due to the low battery (1080 mAh) compared to the built-in flash on the body of the mount (GEN 10 to 12) with their larger (1600 mAh) battery.

It is also why the E-Mount has a relatively slow flash sync speed and no high-speed synchronization.

You should also know that this is not something that can be fixed with a firmware update. The small battery just can't handle.

  • Sony a99 and flashes wireless

    I bought a second one for flash my a99 recently in hopes of using 2 flashes in mode without wire - but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work (or maybe I'm doing somehting wrong)

    I have f56 and Sony f42. F56 is set in wireless mode (the Red led blinks) and my f42 lies on the camera (connected through the adapter) and it is also set in wireless menu mode (Fn key). Tried to change these 2 flashes autour but one that is not connected to the camera never fires.

    Any ideas on what I might hurt?

    This is what I understand of these cards, wireless remote control, no trigger.

    In the note, they say that they require the F58 F43, models.
    They are the new models that provide wireless (trigger) controllers

    http://photo-tips-online.com/news/2011/Sony-HVL-f43am-Flash-vs-Sony-HVL-f42am-Flash/
    As he mentions here, the F42 cannot be a *, so that even if the F56 had the function of wireless control, the F42 doesn't have the remote function to use.

    But from the charts, I'm sure that the F56 isn't a wireless trigger - but I could be wrong.

    However, even if it is possible, even once, the F42 hate.

    If your only option is to have the main flash triggering the other flash via flash. If I remember correctly, is that optical trigger - based on another source of light flash to be triggered.

    Then put the second flash * mode and the main firearms with the camera.

    If you plan to have two cameras off camera, you will need to use a separate radio trigger, so you can wireless trigger for both.

  • Capture the moment don't reflect Timezone (Sony a6000)

    The time zone on my camera (Sony a6000) is set to PST (-08:00).  However, when I import my photos into Lightroom, the value of time to Capture for each photo is equivalent to GMT, for example if I take a photo at 11 am PST, the Capture time is 19:00.  The "creation time" for photography is always correct, and I can 'fix' the time of capture by running the operation of 'Change the file creation date' on the photo.  However, this is not ideal because I import photos into folders YYYY_MM_DD and the initial import (which uses the wrong Capture time) often puts the time of capture-based photography in the right folder incorrect.  Y at - it a good solution for this?

    [There are no doubt some to make case for switching all my camera zone time GMT, but I spend most of my time in PST and it is a much nicer term for importation.]  [In addition, my other main camera (my iPhone) has the same problem as described above, if there is an event where I take pictures with my Sony and my iPhone and then import them both, often photos of the event will be spread over two separate records of date because of the issue of the time of capture.]

    I use Lightroom 5.6 on Mac (El Capitan 10.11.3).

    Thank you!

    Jonathan

    How Lightroom determines 'capture time '?

    For metadata in general, LR meets the standard of the industry of the metadata working group.  For the date of capture, LR examines the metadata EXIF DateTimeOriginal field, that all digital cameras add photos. (There are various complications if this field is missing in the photo or there are XMP metadata stored in the photo).

    I downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the camera Sony a6000.  However, it does not open images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    I suggest you please update Camera Raw 9.1.1: Camera Raw of Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6 Installer

    Once done, launch Photoshop and click Help > about plug-in > Camera Raw.

    And check the version of Camera Raw, you see there, it should be the most recent.

  • NEX-7 Wireless Flash

    I need to sync my external flash with my camera Sony NEX-7 equipment. So, I bought the converter "Alpha-Std" Flash shoe.
    I have the transmitter wireless inserted into the flash shoe STD. Everything seems in place and connected.

    But when I pull, it does not send Flash signal to the wireless transmitter.

    In the menu 'camera', FlashModes, WL (wireless) option is not available (says not compatible with this kind of flash).

    I tried even with off camera flash. But still, it does not trigger the Flash through the high shoe of the page.

    So, I wonder how to get the NEX-7 will send flash signal?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.

    Need us more information on the equipment you use. Can you tell us the model of the Alpha-STD Flash shoe Converter number and the brand / model of flash you use. Then, we will be able to deepen your request.

  • HP 6100 Wireless, flashing JO

    Hello!

    I have a problem with a printer Officejet 6100 wireless communication, that I just bought:

    I'm on a macbook pro in Mavericks so the cd which includes all of my new printer is useless. It does not support the Mavericks so I plugged the printer with the usb cable and my mac recognized & installed the printer and that's it of OK. But the reason I bought this new printer to print without cables!

    When I opened the printer first, installed print cartridges the welcome page I saw for the first time the blue flashing light wireless. I printed the wireless network test results: "your HP printer is unable to connect to your wireless router. One of the solutions is to change my HP network name so that matches my wireless router name exactly.

    I'm still wondering how to do this, because when I open the HP auto wireless connect via the utility on my mac the printer is listed, but I can not select and go to the next step. I searched all over the internet but the guides me to the HP (printing and scanning doctor) utilities that run on Windows computers.

    My wireless router is a Thompson TG585 v8 and it works very well with all my devices (laptop, tv etc.) for 5 years now, so I guess that's not my problem.

    So I'm stuck. And the blue light continues to blink...

    Problem solved! I write just to help people with the same problem. I connected the printer with my router via a network cable and mavericks installed the driver, then ran network diagnostics.

  • CS5 / Raw / sony a6000

    Y at - it a newer version of raw for cs5 that takes in charge of sony camera a6000?

    No, they don't update Photoshop to new RAW formats, you will need to use DNG Converter, Lightroom or a program that can read the RAW and then push ch according to needs.  A lot of info here on it, was just a thread today actually.

  • Cannot open the raw files from Sony A6000

    I get this message: 'Could not complete your request because the file appears to be a model of camera that only is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw,' when I try to open the files of the A6000 Sony although I downloaded the latest verisions of Camera Raw. The converter works but not CS5.

    Any suggestion from anyone.

    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for more information

    Your CS5 is too old and can not be updated to support the 6000 Alpha requiring a camera Raw 8.4 or newer.

    You can either upgrade to CS6 - PS or PS - CC or the free option is to convert your raw files ARW in DNG with the DNG Converter 8.4 or newer, and these DNG can be opened in ACR old plug-ins with CS5.

  • The grip of vgc1em can fit on Sony a6000?

    Is their way to remove the battery on the A6000 cover?

    The VG-C1EM made 'Full frame' bodies mount E from Sony, which are wider than their bodies mount E APS - C as the A6000. My guess is that the VG-C1EM does not.

    Sony has never done a vertical grip for its organs APS - C E-Mount.

    I loaded my flash drive last week. On the instructions it says that you should see the orange light and it stops once loaded. I've never seen the orange light while charging. I put the drive to the USB port to recharge last night and the ipad app shows that it is totally charged. I need it for my class in college in two days.

    How long charge you? the app shows a change in the level of the battery? try other USB ports or an AC charger if you have one.
