In the other fake battery thread I suggested looking at the bar codes on the back of the packaging. Put them into Google and the genuine one comes back as the NP-FZ100 but the closest the  fake ...

The flash isn't (ever) out-of-sync; it's simply not firing and what you're seeing is the pre-flash. At some point you've turned on Electronic Front Curtain Shutter - turn it off again and all will ...

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a new model. Most of the manufacturers are reducing their commitment to, if not completely abandoning, the small sensor sector as it's been overtaken by ...

I mainly use 3:2 because that's what I 'see' after decades of using 35mm film but I switch to 16:9 if I think it's needed. I have 'frame size' mapped to a custom button to make this easy. I like ...

It is a proprietary plug but it's the same cable as Sigma uses for the lens dock and a quick look on eBay  shows that searching for UD-01E0 or Sigma dock cable should bring up what you need.

That's what I said....

The answer was 'no' four years ago. Do you really expect anything to have changed since then?

As Robert says, one-day Sony event at Castle Camera's Bournemouth shop. Existing customers were emailed about the event a week in advance but there was something on their web site closer to the ...

If the Bolt is made by Godox then it should work but if it's not then you've as much chance as mounting a Canon lens direct on a Nikon camera.

It's common to all current Sony cameras so there are dozens of them. Try searching for  just A7 rather than A7 III. Of course, the 'official' ones are the RM-VPR1 and RM-SPR1 but there's no need ...

I think that's just the normal effect of depth of field. You're fairly close to you subject at a long focal length so dof is going to be very shallow, especially at the wider apertures. I ...

I don't think a plain metal adapter will work as there's no way to set the aperture.

Close - £2299.

It's the battery as much as the camera. I've had the same thing with all four versions of the RX10, A6300 and A7R II, using original and third-party batteries. They all use the NP-FW50. The ...

Sorry, don't understand. Is there a digit missing from that £220?

It would be helpful if you put your images in the body of the message rather than the signature. I have signatures turned off (some are just toooo irritating) so couldn't initially see your images.

Did anyone else trek down to Bournemouth today? I hope so as it was well worth the effort. I was given a huge discount on an A7R III plus the free Rotolight and (to come) the extended warranty. 10% ...

What seems to have been ignored up to now is the barcode on the back of the packaging. Here's a monochrome scan of the genuine item I bought today. Put the barcode into Google and it comes back as ...

None of the A7 & A9 ranges have built-in flash. Seab has bought a Neewer kit made up of a trigger and a flash and they both fit the MI shoe. He is also trying use them to trigger a Canon flash and ...

Whatever gave you the idea that IR control is 'universal'? Basically, flash control is as 'universal' as lens fittings...... I also think you're wrong that what you've bought is re-branded Godox as ...
