Of course it's a good flash! You probably need a diffuser or bounce card as well so the flash isn't too harsh. Pls correct if wrong. I'm a total newbie when it comes to flash.
What do you mean by 'in full power'? And what will happen when it heats up fast?
All flash can set its output power from 1/1 to 1/2 to 1/4 ... 1/128.
as for SB900, i have experiencing heating problem occasionally when i shoot continouously for some time at 1/1 power.
when it heat up, there will be 'beep beep' sound to alert you. so you need to let it cool down before you use it again. so no worries.
it is still a very good flash.

Thanks for explaining.
Can I know how long it takes to cool down? I am quite concerned since I want to use it at my sister's ROM. I don't want it to be heated up at the crucial moments.
When you shoot 'continuously', are you talking about the continuous mode where you get a few shots by pressing the shutter once?
Do you use anything to bounce the flash?
I'm so sorry for so many questions. This would be my first flash, so I want to be sure what I am getting myself into.
i didn't do multiple shots . . . continuous shooting non-stop for about 20-30 shots.
you can use the diffuser given together with it or alternatively you may wish to make your own bounce card . . . the one given is not big enough.
you may need to know how to tilt your flash though . . . hope this help . . .
can PM me if you need more help . . . most willing to share.

Can set to Auto-ISO. But I dunno how does it work or how is it like. Anyone care to share? Haha
When you set ISO to auto,
You also set max ISO, and minimum shutter speed.
When you shutter speed is longer than minimum shutter speed, camera will automatically raise ISO so your minimum shutter speed is reached. When the maximum ISO is reached, camera will not be able to increase ISO anymore. and at this time, the minimum shutter speed rule will be broken... and the meter will set your shutter speed at the proper shutter speed even if it is longer than your minimum shutter speed, with ISO at your selected max ISO.
What is the lowest shutter speed you are able to shoot handheld with no blur?
Metering mode (spot, center weighted, matrix) is totally independent on shooting mode (P, A, S, M). So answer to your question is YES.

That is only available in M mode.
In P, A, S modes, you are given the option to use EV compensation on that same scale.
I really strongly recommend that you read your manual thoroughly.
you are asking things that are clearly stated in your user manual. I strongly recommend you read the appropriate sections in your user manual. If you are not able to comprehend the manual, iwill be available for 1 on 1 training sessions with you for a fee.
