FujiFilm EF-X500 Flash

More than just a typical flash, the Fujifilm EF-X500 comes with a built-in LED video light that can also be used as an AF assist light and a catchlight. Likewise, you can facilitate precise beaming of light thanks to the tiltable flash head in four directions. Ideal for Fujifilm X Series cameras, this dust and weather resistant camera flash allows wireless multi-flash TTL for more creative lighting. It can also provide lighting at any shutter speed by activating its high-speed flash sync. For more versatility, this Fujifilm flash allows up to ten combinations of various operational settings. With a maximum guide number of approx. 50 (ISO100m)/164(ISO100ft), the Fujifilm EF-X500 provides ample illumination for focal lengths of 24-105mm.

Product Features in Detail

Match any shutter speed with flash sync
With cameras equipped with a focal plane shutter, when the shutter speed is high, the first and second shutter curtains move across at the same time, making the exposure through a narrow vertical slit between them. It prevented light from a conventional flash to reach only a small section of the sensor. This is why a slower shutter speed must be used in flash photography, with the range of available shutter speeds severely limited.

The EF-X500 supports the FP mode (high-speed flash sync), in which the flash outputs continuous light while the first and second curtains travel across the sensor, thereby enabling flash photography at any shutter speed. When shooting with a near-maximum aperture to create beautiful bokeh, the shutter speed tends to go higher. The EF-X500 frees photographers from being conscious about shutter speed limitations, and allows them to focus on shooting.

Use more than one flash
The EF-X500 can be used in multi-flash setup to freely control light on a subject and background for a creative result. The TTL auto function is available with the multi-flash setup as well as single flash, so that you can start shooting without making additional adjustments to light output. Multiple flashes can be controlled up to three groups, each of which can be set up with different light output, allowing you to fine-tune the light. The light output can also be adjusted from the camera.

Lightweight and compact
The front side of the EF-X500's main body is applied with leather texture to compliment the design of the X Series. It is designed with low center of gravity to maintain ease of operation when mounted on the X Series of cameras, known for their light weight and compact bodies.
