Sony - HVLF20M Flash

Key Features and Benefits: Extends flash range beyond camera's included flash Though compact and lightweight, the HVL-F20M has a maximum range twice that of the included flash units of the NEX-6 or SLT-A58K and includes Sony's new Multi Interface shoe for expanded compatibility. This is represented as the guide number (GN) of 20 with a 50mm focal distance. Bounce flash enables shadowless indirect lighting When set to ���������indoor' shooting mode, the flash points up to bounce light off the ceiling for shadowless illumination of your subject. When set to the ���������outdoor' shooting mode, the flash directs light directly at your subject. Built-in diffuser for wide and telephoto shooting With the built-in diffuser, the flash illumination covers a wider angle of view or if users want to to shoot at a greater distance, they can rotate the dial on the side of the flash unit to the ���������Tele' Position. While the 'Tele" setting reduces the width of flash coverage, it extends the range to illuminate more distant subjects. Easy intuitive operation Unlike most external flash units, the HVL-F20M has no dedicated ON/OFF switch. Instead, power is automatically switched on simply by raising the flash unit into the shooting position. In addition, a switch on the side of the unit quickly moves the flash from direct to bounce, making it easy to obtain flash illumination that suits the shooting situation. A charging lamp indicates when the flash is ready to fire. ADI Flash Metering System The ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering system offers the optimum flash metering and automatic white-balance compensation regardless of the background conditions or the subject's reflectance. ADI flash metering works in combination with α cameras and lenses that incorporate a distance encoder. When used with these lenses, the camera calculates a guide number to control TTL (through the lens) flash metering. This guide number is calculated according to distance from the subject, ambient light and pre-flash reflectivity of the subject and the background.
