Sony HVL-F46RM Wireless Radio Flash

The Sony HVL-F46RM is a compact, versatile, high power flash for creative photography. Improved algorithms and stable light emission in conjunction with the camera body offer great wireless flash performance. Enjoy easy operability with this radio controlled flash, enabling various shooting styles, and a stable, consistent high GN46 output. Up to 60 consecutive flashes at 10 frames per second is possible and sync at shutter speeds up to 1/400 sec. with this Sony flash.

Intelligent communication with the latest Sony α bodies
This flash unit can communicate with Sony α camera bodies to deliver consistent GN46 light output that meets professional lighting needs. Focal lengths from 24mm (15mm with the wide panel) to 105mm are supported.

Per-frame P-TTL flash control adapts to changing light
When used with a compatible camera, high-speed control sequencing in the camera uses pre-flash to control each individual flash during continuous bursts, even when tracking fast-moving subjects in scenes where the light changes dramatically.

Flash control linked to camera face detection
With a compatible camera, white balance is automatically adjusted so that the subject’s face is rendered with natural colour. The HVL-F46RM works with a compatible camera face detection to provide ideal lighting for the main subject, even in groups.

Auto white balance accuracy
This advanced flash unit transfers colour temperature data to the camera where that data is used to precisely adjust white balance so that colours are rendered naturally in any situation.

High-speed, slow, and rear-curtain sync
High-speed sync works at all shutter speeds, and can be used with the aperture wide open to produce beautiful background bokeh for portraits. Slow sync and rear-curtain sync are also supported.

Fast recycle and high-speed continuous flash
Advanced electronics and construction contribute to fast recycle times and allow continuous flash shooting for extended periods of time. A set of four batteries can provide power for more than 320 flashes with 2.0 second recycle time.

Flexible bounce angle adjustment
This feature makes it possible to quickly angle the flash head 180 degrees to the left or right, 150 degrees up, or 8 degrees down, for easy bounce angle adjustment to match any subject and shooting environment.

Enhanced dust and moisture resistance with metal shoe foot
A dust and moisture resistant design17 contributes to high reliability in outdoor conditions. Shoe sealing achieves even greater dust and moisture resistance with certain a series bodies. A metal shoe foot with rugged side frame significantly increases the strength and durability of the Multi Interface Shoe and its electrical contacts.

Dot-matrix display and custom keys for efficient operation
The same display tab format as the camera makes operation easy and intuitive. The Quick Navi display provides status info plus direct access to important parameters, with assignable arrow key, control wheel, and custom key input.

Wireless radio control for up to 15 flash units
Control up to 15 flash and/or receiver units in 5 groups. The HVL-F46RM can communicate with flash units that do not feature wireless radio communication via the optional FA-WRC1M commander and/or FA-WRR1 receiver.
