#CAMARA SONY A350 ISO#
Realistically most professional users would have the ISO set to manual, but I still prefer having them separated. By doing this, flash can be adjusted using the TTL settings on the flash or trigger and ambient can be adjusted with the exposure compensation dial. Next, we’re going to separate the exposure compensation for ambient and flash. Separate Exposure Compensation for Flash and Ambient I haven’t picked up any adverse reactions from having this turned on, but I have had speedlight issues – so unless you’re using Sony’s wireless system, it’s best to turn it off. Go to Camera Setting 1 (the camera with the 1 next to it), click over to page 11/14 (the one titled “Flash”) and scroll down to the option called Wireless Flash. Since most of us are using third party systems like Godox or Profoto, we’re going to turn this off.
The wireless option is for Sony’s wireless speedlight system. Go back to Camera Setting 2 (the camera icon with the 2 next to it) and over to page 4/9, and switch your e-Front Curtain Shutter setting to Off. It’s recommended that you switch this off and stick to the standard shutter when shooting flash.Į-Front Curtain Shutter is the setting directly under Silent Shooting. The front curtain shutter causes banding when used with High Speed Synchronization (HSS). Switch Off Electronic Front Curtain Shutter The first option in the list will be Silent Shooting. To turn it off, go to Camera Setting 2 (the icon that has a camera with a 2 next to it) and then click across to the fourth page (page 4/9). This is not a Sony constraint but a general sensor constraint.Īn electronic shutter is great to stop the sound of the shutter annoying people at weddings, but it’s terrible for flash. Silent shoot ing (electronic shutter) and flash don’t work together – at least not until global shutters get released. Regardless of whether you choose to save your flash settings for future use, these are the steps I’ve found to work best.
#CAMARA SONY A350 HOW TO#
I recommend giving it a watch if you want to learn how to do this. The above video from Mark Galer runs through how to set up custom modes or memory recalls. This will make it easier in future to transition between shooting with flash or natural light (though do note that some of the settings we’re about to change are global and not available to save in custom settings). Sony cameras have the advantage of allowing you to create custom settings which you can save and switch back over to at any time.
