come say hello to Adam and me
at the Digital Goja Showrooms
Well let's take a look and see if there is a
HVL F43M in here
there better be
the box is big enough for it
well
this is an instruction pamphlet for sure
they actually gave you a huge instruction manual
and of course, your accessory limited warranty
from the manufacturer
which states it's in the US
and if it's purchased from an authorized dealer
like Digital Goja
but that's not what we're interested in
we're interested in this
and notice how it comes with a beautiful carrying case
which allows you to either
put it on to your favorite camera bag
or even onto a camera strap
or even your belt
so you can take it with you everywhere
nice zipper
this is nice and padded
Oh, this is beautiful
here is your HVL F43M and right in here
in a secret compartment is your stand
so this allows you to use it as a secondary flash
or wirelessly
let's take a closer look at the features of this
HVL F43M flash from Sony
now the Sony HVL F43M
this is one of the more powerful flashes
this guy has a guide number of 141
that's at ISO 100
at 105mm zoomed out
it also has, of course, a 15mm diffusion panel
which is for your wide angle perspective
it has your typical bounce
but they did something very unique
instead of having to put the flash on a bracket to swivel it
it actually swivels from behind
so you can do this
that is very cool
Sony you are going to take the cake there
that's pretty impressive
so this allows you to swivel it
of course
you have full capability of wireless high-speed sync
but the other added benefit and Sony knows this
because there are a lot of us doing video
this is a built-in video light
this guy gives you the output of 400 lux
at 1.6 feet and the best part is
it has ten levels of intensity
notice I have it set to level one
I can actually change it
that means that it allows you to work
as a fantastic emergency
or full fledged LED light
of course,
you have your slow speed
your high speed
and first and second curtain sync
the other capabilities of changing your modes
let's shut this off
you just press the button down on the bottom
and you can change it between TTL
or you can go into the wireless capability
where you can use it as a slave
or as the main flash
it is a wireless TTL ratio controller
so if you have up to one, two, four,
eight and sixteen ratio control settings
and of course,
you have the remote wireless off
so this will control other flashes optically
remember this is not a built-in radio trigger
but it does allow you to work with other Sony flashes
so if you are in the market for a powerful
yet compact and revolutionary
flash / LED light
take a closer look at the Sony HVL F43M
