How i can use my Sony syber shot camera at studio with flash lights?
If it’s a professional studio, they’ll probably have flash triggers on their flashes. These will trigger the flash when your flash fires. Your camera will be the master and the others, slave flashes. It’s not ideal…I don’t think that you can turn the power of your flash down, so you will always see it, though you could try some tissue over the flash to soften it (watch out for smoke – those little camera flashes get surprisingly hot for a brief time). There’ll be a bit of trial and error to get the aperture set right but in a controlled studio setting, once you have the settings right you shouldn’t need to change them much.
Most studio lights will not work properly with your camera. Almost all have an optical slave trigger, but the flashes will fire on the first burst (metering flash) from your camera, and will be in the recycle stage when the picture is actually captured. There are some newer models of monolights that have optical slaves which understand red-eye reduction and metering flash, but not many. Unless you have one of the few Cybershot models that has a hot shoe, it will be very difficult to use studio lights to any effect. If you have a hot shoe, life is much better. You can get a $20 adapter that will give your camera a PC sync socket, allowing you to connect directly to studio lights. Or, you can purchase an IR flash trigger for about $40 that does the same thing.
