Product Details / Description:

Its combination of high Guide Number and the innovative Quick Shift Bounce system ensures you can maintain dynamic lighting effects quickly and efficiently throughout your shoots in Japan.

About the Product

The Quick Shift Bounce system allows the flash head to pivot on a hinge, quickly moving the flash position high above the lens axis regardless of the camera’s orientation. This prevents harsh shadows and maintains a flattering light direction in vertical shooting.

The flash coverage automatically zooms to match focal lengths from 24 millimeter to 105 millimeter (15 millimeter with the wide panel). It is capable of tracking rapid continuous shots (40 consecutive shots at 10 frames per second at 1 slash 32 power). The included shoe adapter (ADP-AMA) ensures compatibility with older SONY/Minolta Auto-lock Accessory Shoe cameras, in addition to the modern Multi-Interface Shoe.

Faqs:

What is the Quick Shift Bounce mechanism?

The Quick Shift Bounce is a unique feature to SONY high-end flashes. It is a rotating head mechanism that allows the flash head itself to swivel 90 degrees left and right, ensuring that even when you turn the camera vertically, the flash head remains high and centered over the lens for consistent, flattering bounce lighting.

Can I adjust the brightness and color of the LED light?

Yes, the LED light output can be adjusted across 10 intensity levels. Additionally, the included color conversion filter can be used to change the LED light’s color temperature from its native approximately 5500 K (daylight) to approximately 3200 K (tungsten) for better matching with indoor artificial light sources.

Does this flash support off-camera wireless control?

Yes, the HVL-F60M can function both as a wireless controller (master) and as an off-camera flash (remote/slave). It uses an optical pulse communication method, allowing you to control multiple remote flash units in up to three groups with sophisticated light intensity ratio control.

What does the extreme power setting of 1/256 offer?

The ability to reduce the flash power down to 1 slash 256 allows for extremely subtle, low-power fill flash, which is useful for very close-up portraits or when shooting at wide apertures in low light where a full power flash would severely overexpose the scene. It gives the photographer maximum control over light output.

What is the included Shoe Adapter (ADP-AMA) for?

The ADP-AMA Shoe Adapter allows the Multi-Interface Shoe-compatible flash (HVL-F60M) to be mounted and used on older SONY/Minolta cameras that utilize the traditional Auto-lock Accessory Shoe, providing broad compatibility across different SONY camera bodies.
