The freedom of flash

The Sony HVLF42AM flash unit can improve formal portraits, brighten low-light scenes, bounce lighting to soften shadows and illuminate the entire frame, provide fill-in flash for backlit shots, and expand your creative freedom with complex lighting effects to give shots greater depth, erase or define shadows, and bring hidden details into view. The HVLF42AM provides high illumination output in a small lightweight body, with effective range greater than 30 feet, and guide number 42. (Guide number measures the illumination capability of the flash; the higher the number, the more light the unit can provide. Tested at ISO 100, 105mm.)

Wide angle coverage, and bouncing around the room

The HVL-F42AM automatically adjusts flash for focal-length settings from 24mm to 105mm. And a built-in, slide-out wide-angle panel increases wide-angle coverage to 16mm. You can take advantage of flexible angles of 90° up, 90° left, and 180° right to give you greater flexibility for bouncing light from ceilings, walls, or bounce cards.

Automatic features

Intelligent features of the HVL-F42AM include the power to adjust white balance automatically, with color temperature information signaled to the camera before white balance is adjusted. The auto zoom coverage of the HVLF42AM is automatically optimized for the APS-C size or 35mm full-frame size of the image sensor of the camera being used (DSLR-A700, DSLR-A200, and later models).

Other bright ideas

Conventional flash only works well at shutter speeds from 1/125 to 1/250 of a second. The HVLF42AM flash unit provides high-speed synchronization mode that enables flash sync with shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/4000 of a second to catch fast-moving subjects. ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) metering capability enables the HVLF42AM 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.

Simple contols, flash test button

Flash controls on the HVL-F42AM are simple and easy to operate, and a quick-reference flash test button provides both flash ready (amber), and proper exposure (green) signals.

Wireless operation

Sony a(alpha) cameras feature an operating mode that sends wireless signals to one or more HVLF42AM flash units, allowing you to operate and adjust off-camera flash lighting setups with greater ease.
