Flash-Camera Mismatch?


Recommended Posts

Yes, that is one of the possibilities. I might keep the D90 and the macro. I couldn't get much for the D90 now anyway. 

 

I was about to open a new post about tabletop, but this one seems to have morphed into that now. And since I'm the OP I can't offend myself, right? I'm also thinking that continuous lighting might be better than a speedlight. One light bounced off the ceiling and some reflectors should be enough. Any suggestions? Yes, I'll be on a tripod. 

If I didn't have the studio flash I would try anglepoise lamps with ordinary tungsten bulbs, 100W miht be enough for a closeup but not for bouncing off the ceiling. Diffuse it with some tracing paper.

But if I had flash I'd use it- you soon run out of light bouncing and stopping down.

If you have enough window light, some reflector fill, but it's mid-December so you probably haven't.

Better to exclude the daylight altogether.

Just checked Neewer TT560 flash on Amazon UK, price £30.45.

 

It says you need the hot shoe adapter to make it work on Sony cameras.

 

I think the RX10 has the same hot shoe as the NEX6.  If so, there is an adapter from Delamax priced at £9.54

Peter, the RX10 Does not appears to have the same hot shoe as other Sony cameras, and these adapters will not fit to give a standard hot shoe result.

Yes, I was rather dismayed to see the numbers of adaptors available for Sony hotshoes.   I could not find anything definitive about which of the many hot shoes the RX10 has.  If I seriously needed a flash for the RX10, I would probably get a Sony one.

 

I do not use flash much, and for indoors I have it covered by the Olympus kit.
