The Sony HVL-F42AM Digital Camera Flash provides Sony Alpha camera users with many features like: powerful illumination, adjustable bounce angles, wireless remote capability, and intelligent features like ADI metering, auto white balance, auto zoom and high-speed sync. It is perfect for formal portraits, weddings and special events, still-life photography, hobby shots and more.
- Auto WB Adjustment
- The Auto WB adjusts the white balance automatically, with color temperature information signaled to the Alpha camera before WB is adjusted.
- High-Speed Sync
- The HVL-F42AM flash unit provides High-Speed Synchronization (HSS) mode that enables flash sync with shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/4000 of a second to catch fast-moving subjects.
- ADI Flash Metering
- ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) metering capability enables the HVL-F42AM to work more effectively with lenses equipped with distance encoders, combining TTL (through-the-lens) flash metering with guide number control calculated automatically according to the distance to the subject, the ambient light and the pre-flash reflectivity of the subject.
- Can be triggered wirelessly (with TTL control) by the wireless operating mode available with Alpha series cameras.
