Wireless would be sweet, but I'm okay with cable and can buy some wireless flash after I've gotten established and making a little money again. It won't give you galvanic isolation, though. This will give you voltage protection up to 400V AC or DC as well.

This might not be a solution now, but consider a camera model with built-in PC sync terminal (aka studio flash socket) next time. The cheap adapter doesn't mention that feature.īecause they don't offer voltage protection or galvanic isolation. I do find adapters for $12 on eBay but I've read that the Sony model has circuitry to prevent flash feed back that will ruin the camera. A voltage protection-only adapter will not solve this potential problem. If you don't use a galvanic isolator, you may fry other parts inside your camera (power supply) or connected equipment (like a PC, USB hub, etc.). Depending on your setup, this may be just as important as voltage protection, as it allows you to have the camera wired to other equipment like a PC, monitor or storage device (or get into touch with earthed metal surfaces) with the studio flashes connected at the same time as well. You might have to search for it for a couple of weeks, but it is not a particularly rare item.Īll these three adapters do not only offer voltage protection but also galvanic isolation. The PCT-100 can be found for about 20 - 40 EUR used. It's even better, as it offers protection for trigger circuit voltages up to 400V AC or DC, while the FA-ST1AM and FA-HS1AM only support up to 60V AC or DC. You can also try to get a Minolta PCT-100, which is the predecessor of the FA-ST1AM. I have seen the Sony FA-HS1AM (with ISO-518 hotshoe on top) and FA-ST1AM (with PC sync terminal) being offered for about 100 EUR, which is still much money for what it is. One Solution: Sony makes one for $175, but funds are limited and I can't afford that. a lot of old flashes are fine to use and automatic settings,though not TTL. If you want to stick with wired conections then the sony P.C adapter will prevent your cameras circuits being fried by the (potential) trigger voltage of your flash guns and studio flash.įor using older flash gun's, before conecting the to your camera, check out this site flash trigger voltage. I've bought a few set's of these, one with the sony/minolta fitting on and one with the standard shoe on for my canon gear.this gave me two differant triggers and six recievers for flashes. They also have a P.C socket for conecting to your studio flash,cable included.switchable channels for if someone else is using a set nearby.

SONY A350 MEMORY ISO
The set up i use is one that any flash gun can be connected to ie,sonyminolta iISO or the nikon,pentax,canon etc iso flashshoe (has each type ,one shoe at each end). Wireless flash triggering is quick, cheep,easy and safe. I just discovered there is a port for the remote flash (I'm slowly working my way through the manual)but is there something that will plug into this port and adapt to a PC Sync cable?
SONY A350 MEMORY HOW TO
I'm still learning how to use my camera and all of the great features. My nearest camera store is 90 miles one way, so I've got to purchase off the internet.

What are some Other Solutions? What am I missing? I've looked at the Pixel Pawns but they look like they need a Sony flash to fit on the remotes. The cheap adapter doesn't mention that feature. I don't have the money to invest in new lights and I need an adapter that will fit on the hot shoe with a PC Sync port. Problem: I want to use off camera flash and my old Norman and Photogenic lights for studio work and my Sunpak 333 for location work, but they use the old PC Sync cable and the Sony a350 doesn't have a port. WOW has it ever changed with digital! I sold my Bronica ETRS and bought a Sony A350 and two Minolta lenses to get back into photography. History: I used to shoot professionally back in the late 80s and early 90s when photography was a different world.
