Using an external Flash with Nex-6?

I try to Flash a S L A V E with NEX-6. I tried different settings and the flash modes. It seems that the manual may be preferable. I'm trying to fill Flash and sometimes I get the results I expect and many times I get a black picture. Apparently the eliminator bad word think S L A V E flash is a bad word. Sigh... Lets call it EXT in the future.

1/60 or 1/30 f / 11 or f/8

Sony Nex-6 flash still fires.

EXT flash - Studio flash on a stand nearby - flash always fires.

Can someone tell me why the photo would never black?

So the camera doesn't really manually?

I hear the 'trigger' turn off.

The NEX-6 flash always fire.

The EXT flash is the same topic.

The pictures are dark or black despite the two flashes firing.

Here's a specific example. Two pictures on a wall with a dim overhead light candleholder.

Nex6 manual - 1/60 F 5.6 fill flash on Nex - 6 - no POST Nex-6 takes a reasonable picture.

Move the nearby POST and aim the EXT on the same premises. Change anything in the camera.

Now, I get a dark image or black of the camera. The two flashes of fire.

I used to do the work of studio all this way to set the time with my Nikon D300. No muss no fuss. Using the camera as a light meter. Camera in manual. The value 1/60 or 1/125, F/11. Take a shot or two. Look at the histogram to see if the light was good. And then shoot there all day triggering the EXT of the on-board camera flash, which could actually be set at a low rate. Change the settings of the camera and watch the histogram if you move lights. Otherwise you are good to go.

But apparently the NEX-6 is too smart. Even in manual mode. How can I make dumb if I can do the same thing? I have 4 blinks for my studio and want to use it. Not to buy some flashes new fantasies more money than the cost of Nex - 6.

BTW, I like the NEX - 6. Great pictures. Shoots RAW, I need. Love outdoors where it is light. Lovely sharp lens. Large strong viewfinder LCD for outdoor activities. But now I need to use it in my studio with my flashes inside.

Help please?

Thank you

I found that using a Paul C Buff Inc. remote with an ABR800 radio, can trigger other flashes. So, using the nex - 6 claw with a remote control to trigger the flashes more consistent. This way I can use my method to use the settings of the manual camera without the camera to play with exhibitions. Did not understand why you use the built-in flash is not consistent.

Problem solved I guess.

  • How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

    Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

  • How to use the external screen with my Satellite M30?

    Hi guys, I have the following problem:

    I have a portable Satellite M30-642 former. My keyboard it is completely broken (spilled something on it) so I use an external USB keyboard.

    Now that I bought a TFT I wanted to use it as a primary device, so I need to take the laptop to the external output.
    The laptop itself recognizes as a secondary screen already, but this isn't what I want.
    Problem is I can't switch from the display without the FN key devices!

    I tried to search the net and this forum - but the solution posted does not work for the M30. There is no option in the utility of HW and not in the BIOS to enable the external keyboard support.
    Please is there any other combination of keys that would work or a software utility that allows me to turn on? It's a really bad situation for me :(

    All solutions anyone? :(

    Greetings and thanks in advance

    Hello

    Please don't be crazy on me but I write here very often and somehow try to help, but I'm still irritated if someone thinks that anything is possible. Unfortunately, you have to accept that sometimes there is hardware limitation and there is nothing to do.
    I want to talk about primary and secondary monitor.

    On most laptops, the LCD is always set as primary and cannot be changed. So, as far as I know, without using the FN + F5 key combination you extend the desktop to external display and use both of them. Using display settings you should be able to switch to an external display only (display control panel settings NVIDIA advance settings and so on). Please test only because I don't have M30, but the principle is used the same.

    If you will be able to use external display only try to restart your laptop and see on which screen the office will be shown. If you will be lucky and office will be shown on the external display, try to extend the desktop to second monitor (laptop LCD).

    Good bye

  • All have experience using an external microphone with a CX200 HDR? Is is possible?

    If I want to use an external mic, equiptment, cables etc do I need?

    The CX200 HDR doesn't have any interface for the use of an external microphone. Some high-end models have a 3.5 mm microphone jack and a claw accessory that you can attach external microphones.

    You can change the audio source to the other microphone on the application you're using. You will not need any additional software to do this. Also check your recording volume control. You may be able to change this for all applications.

  • Satellite L555-10R: Question about using an external monitor with 1920 x 1200

    Hello

    I have this toshiba laptop: L555-10R

    I want to buy a screen external 24 "to use for CAD

    Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

    I really want the 1200 vertical height of the external display for CAD work such as size of the screen vertically made a big difference.

    If not, is there anything I can do about it to update the graphics card from the laptop?

    If not, can you suggest a new laptop that would support this? I am looking for excellent performance for rendering using 3DS Max, autocad, sketchup, etc.

    Thanks in advance

    > Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

    I think that this should not be a big problem
    The graphics chip is expected to provide support for 1920 x 1200.
    The question is whether the graphics card driver contains such special resolution of 1920 x 1200

    However, you can certainly choose two different resolutions for the screen internal and external monitor.

  • Using the external keyboard with keyboard internal

    Hi people,

    Just got my new Tecra S4-122, of course without a built-in numeric keypad, so I have such a thing too. The problem now is that I'm not able to use the numbers on the keyboard without having to activate the internal "keyboard" (letters using normal numbers), is not really useful, because I can't use it during the strike. Is there a solution to activate ONLY the external keyboard (Labtec thing on USB)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it s seems there is not other way to allow the keyboard with FN + F11.

    I don't know any "adapter" that goes directly from SATA FireWire.  But you can use any typical external FireWire drive.  If the SSD is a 2.5-inch drive, get something like this

  • Error when calling a procedure using an external table with c#.

    Hello

    I'm developing an application scheduler with Visual Studio 2010 (c#) to start my PL/SQL procedures.

    Everything works fine with each procedure, but one who reads the contents of an external table.

    Strange thing is when I start the same procedure with Toad, I have no problem, but when I run with my c# code:

    OracleCommand cmdMET = new OracleCommand();

    cmdMET.CommandText = 'STG_AE. M_MET_S_EXT_DEFECT ';

    cmdMET.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

    con = cmdMET.Connection;

    retvalMET.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;

    cmdMET.Parameters.Add (retvalMET);

    cmdMET.ExecuteNonQuery ();

    Thank you!

    I can't understand why it works when I run it with Toad and why I get this error when launching of it with c#... Any advice would be great!

    The error led to think that a string to number conversion fails all by accessing the external table.

    What is the format of numeric fields in the external file?

    I'm guessing that your session NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting is defined differently whether you're in your application c# or toad.

    Could check you on both?

  • HI - A57 overexposed with external Flash HVL-56

    I bought the HVL-56 AM flash when I bought my original Alpha 100 camera and it served me well when I needed an external flash higher power.  When I updated the camera to the A57 - HI, I thought that the HVL-56 would work well since it uses the same shoe.  However, each image is overexposed when using the external flash.  I get similar with backlight results or front lighting.  I looked through the Sony forums and read carefully this manual but can't find what could be the problem.  Any ideas?

    Hi DougNC,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    I recommend that you check the exposure settings when shooting with the flash. Your settings may be the cause of the photos to be overexposed. Check, the White Balance, ISO or EV compensation as these will affect the brightness of the photo. Also opening speeds and speed. A faster shutter speed will allow the lesser light in the sensor, identical to a lower open stop.

    I would also recommend affecting the flash at a lower power level, especially when shooting subjects closest to the camera.
