I didn't realise you where working outside. The camera is metering on the dummy which is overexposing the sky etc. You need to manually Meyer for the sky and then adjust the flash to expose the dummy. This is way beyond the means of the camera and flash guns auto modes.

I would seriously doubt sonys commitment to any electronics project given more of their income now comes from underwiting insurance than selling electronics.

Which mode are you shooting in? I find manual mode on the body and pttl works best. set the aperture you require and then I set the shutter speed same as the lens length unless I am being creative, then the flash will work out the correct exposure. I find that av and sv seem to confuse either the body or the flash. Maybe thats how its supposed to work or not, been a long time since I read Mattmatics flash book.

You buy a camera for hundreds of pounds and then scrimp on batteries and buy cheap chargers? Buy the proper ones and then it's unlikely anything will go wrong

Buying eight chargers gets a little expensive, i bought seven from ebay for around £8, why do i have eight chargers? To charge up all my batteries quickly for a weekend of shooting festivals. One can never have enough batteries. As for cheap or not, i find the cheap ones may not physically last long but charge wise they are nearly the same as originals.

Some may say buy cheap buy twice, if buying twice is still cheaper than the expensive original i am all for it

I bought this charger

Ad then added this plug

If like me you always leave your chargers in I would prefer the benefit of a fused plug / adaptor.

The adaptors are a bit cheaper from CPC-Farnell (good company to deal with!):

Thats a good price, ordered a few, I like these leadless figure 8 adaptors.

Any repair to a digital camera is going to cost at least £100 u fortunately skilled repairs cost ore money than a robot making cameras in the far east....
