Sony HVL-F28RM External Flash

The Sony HVL-F28RM high-output GN28 flash can be controlled directly from the camera and is small enough to fit in a pocket while offering professional durability as well as wireless radio communication for a wide range of applications.

Comprehensive control from the camera
Flash compensation, light ratio, and other detailed flash parameters can be controlled directly from a compatible camera, and a custom key assignment can allow adjustments to be made while looking through the viewfinder. Flash parameters are shown in the selected camera display language.

Stable radio wireless communication
The HVL-F28RM features stable radio wireless communication. One HVL-F28RM that will function as a commander can be mounted on a compatible camera and paired with other off-camera HVL-F28RM units that will function as a receiver. Radio communication provides reliable communication over longer distances that are possible with optical communication, even in bright sunlight or when there are obstacles between the camera and subject. Slow sync, rear-curtain sync, and multi flash are supported.

Multi flash radio control
When used as a flash commander the HVL-F28RM can control up to 15 flash and/or receiver units in 5 groups at distances of up to 35 m/114 ft for extraordinary lighting control versatility.

Through-the-lens (TTL) wireless flash
Flash output can be accurately determined by through-the-lens light measurement, even when shooting wirelessly. The position and direction of the flash can be adjusted to soften shadows and highlights when shooting a subject from the front, or to add shadows for a sense of depth when needed. Wireless flash ratio control is available.

Lighting tailored to individual scenes
With powerful output that rivals the HVL-F45RM, plenty of light is available for bounce applications, and the flash angle can be set as required via 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 120 degree click stops. A lock is provided at the 0-degree position to prevent unwanted angle changes in hectic shooting situations.

Effective overheating prevention
An optimised flash control algorithm provides excellent flash performance while effectively preventing overheating for long-term stability and reliability.

Auto white balance adjustment
Colour temperature information is transferred from the flash unit to the camera to ensure accurate white balance for natural-looking colours. With compatible cameras11 flash output is automatically balanced with ambient light conditions so that skin tones are rendered with ideal white balance.
