Jozafeen   10 #2 Posted January 29, 2012 Got an A550, great camera but the sony flash shoe is a mare ! Want to use off camera cord sync but no socket on camera, any ideas anyone ?  I use Sony kit and all the flash guns in the range are wireless - doesn't that negate the need for cable sync? The only cord I use for mine these days is the remote shutter cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
G-A-home   10 #3 Posted January 29, 2012 Sony kit uber expensive, I got the cheap ebay china flashes, use off camera on tripods for portraits etc but wanted to sync with cables rather than investing in a set of wireless slaves etc (expensive also) photography on a budget you see.

Rossian   10 #5 Posted February 4, 2012 I used to have a A350 and the Flash was wireless. As Jazafeen says Sony DSLRs have built in wireless controllers that work really well - I never had any use for a cord. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
