High-output, high-speed flash with quick operation

The HVL-F60RM clip-on flash unit features high GN60 power (200 mm at ISO 100 in meters), high-speed continuous shooting support and fast operation; ideal for advanced to professional users. Wireless radio commander/receiver functionality is included.

GN60 power and continuous shooting support The high GN60 (200 mm at ISO 100 in meters) output and 220 times (When using Ni-MH batteries) continuous emission of this flash unit provide plenty of power for various shooting.
	Charge cycle time is 1.7 seconds (idem), or just 0.6 seconds(idem) with the External Battery Adaptor (FA-EBA1) (optional) for continuous shooting. Proper flash synchronization is maintained during continuous shooting, minimizing flash misfires and ruined shots..
Quick Shift Bounce and direct light output level button for smoother operation
Quick Shift Bounce allows use of the lighting features from horizontal to vertical Quick Shift Bounce is Sony's original flash-head rotating mechanism, with the main unit tiltable from horizontal to vertical, allowing fast flash position changes. (90 ° left and right, 150 ° up/8 ° down)
	Direct output adjustment An independent light output level button (LEVEL -/+ button) allows direct control of output or compensation for efficient workflow. Paired wireless flashes can also be easily adjusted via a LCD panel.
Reliable multi-flash radio control In addition to optical remote triggering, wireless radio triggering is supported. Wireless radio communication works reliably at distances of up to 98.43 feet5 and even around obstacles or in bright conditions. A total of 15 flash units can be assigned to up to 5 groups (In the group flash mode. Up to 3 groups in the TTL or manual flash mode).
Stable wireless radio communication Conventional optical triggering and wireless radio triggering cover a wide range of situations. A HVL-F60RM mounted on a compatible camera can be paired with off-camera units to provide reliable communication over long distances in conditions that would make optical communication difficult. Slow sync, rear-curtain sync and multi flash are supported (Available with compatible devices only. For compatibility information visit Sony's camera support page at: http://www.sony.net/flash/f60rm).
	Multi-flash radio control Up to 15 flash units can be assigned to up to 5 groups6 for wireless flash control at distances of up to 98.43 feet.5 Optional Wireless Radio Commander (FA-WRC1M) and Wireless Radio Receiver (FA-WRR1) units allow the HVL-F60RM to be used with Sony flash units that do not have built-in radio wireless capability, as well as the radio-capable HVL-F45RM.

Common features for uncommon lighting techniques

Control the ideal combination of shutter speed and flash intensity.

P-TTL flash control

Appropriate flash output is determined by using pre-flash to measure exposure.

LED light and AF assist

Not only for the studio, but also for outdoor shooting, a built-in LED light is very useful. It also functions as an AF assist light to ensure accurate autofocus operation in dim lighting. The LED can make manual focus easier in dark situations too.

Color filters

The supplied color filters can be used to match or complement existing lighting, in order to achieve natural white balance, or to create a specific atmosphere.
