The website contains full information on how to upgrade: http://support.sony-europe.com/DIME/digistill/Alpha/firmware/firmware.asp?l=en&c=fw David I have just checked my Alpha 100 and it has firmware version 1.02 so it does not need update 1.1 applied which takes the camera to 1.02 a potentiall...

David Problem is that it does not appear as a removable USB device? Brian H When I updated my Dynax 7D I copied the file to a CF card in a card reader/writer attached to the computer, dismounted that card, transferred the card to switched off camera, switched on and the card was read and camera's f...

I never let anything take over automatic file transfer from any device. David Good policy. Same here. I had trouble with Photoshop Elements 4 last year, I simply cannot justify the cost full Photoshop version, why does there have to be such a big jump in price? I had purchased a new laptop and at t...

IE/Windows produces erratic results with Wordpress CSS pages and if I correct one aspect, other Windows users then find a different thing has shifted. David IE/Windows is pretty much erratic all over. I am still trying to figure out why visited links on my sites Sea Vixen pages still show as visite...

I now have a Metz 54 MZ-4i with SCA 3302 vM7 adaptor on order from Mifsuds (I have purchased from them before) who's web site is currently showing this gun only available in Nikon fit with the Metz 54 MZ-4 in Konica Minolta fit. A tel.con was made to specify and check that the correct type will be o...

Apart from the awkward user interface and the thumbwheel locking (devices I have learned to loath) the Metz is of interest. Will a 5600HSD fit Stofen fit this gun? I think I have found the answer to that question which is no it will not fit. Judging by the 'Big ringlash ...' article in Photoworld S...

I was considering this route some time ago and even got hold of the brouchers.

Now - I wonder?

No! Don't even think about it!

Minolta, Sigma and Metz flashguns for digital SLRs compared - now on line: http://photoclubalpha.com/?p=73 David Thank you for these flash gun reviews, given me much food for thought. I have a pair of 5600HSDs and am considering a third as I still often use my Dynax 7 and three cameras in use simul...

I believe his Paulette camera, which did incorporate a selenium meter and extended the shutter speed range to 1/250th, the lens to f2.8, was named after his wife. That was my first 35mm camera and fortunately the light meter failed after about 6 months but then it did require care in use. Rather th...

There certainly was an SR-1, I have one in my collection. Introduced in 1966. It is slightly heavier and larger than the SR-1s, the main difference being the 1/500 highest shutterspeed. A separate CdS light meter can be attached as with the SR-1s. According to Ivor Matanle in 'Due Credit', AP 14 Oc...

It is with considerable gratitude that I join you and the others at what I hope is going to be a long running website. Now that the initial wobbles caused by Minolta pulling out of the photography hardware market (what a waste Minolta Dimage Master was – but I liked it – if only Sony could have pick...
