The slim and compact Sony HVL-F20M Flash is perfect for adding fill light to your shots. You can also use this as a controller for off-camera flashes thanks to its ADI / P-TTL support. It has a guide number of 66' at ISO 100 and 50mm which gives two coverage settings for both 27 and 50mm with full-frame sensors. It can also be used as a bounce flash. As a TTL controller, it has multiple sync settings that allow the flash to recycle from 0.1 to 5 seconds. The flash's power comes from two AAA batteries.

Product Features in Detail

Bounce flash

As the name implies, "bounce flash" means that light is bounced off a surface such as the ceiling, rather than being directed straight at the subject. This reduces the intensity of shadows and produces a softer light for more natural-looking images. Because the flash position can be easily adjusted via a slide switch, this bounce flash technique can be used anytime, anywhere.

Direct flash

Simply use it facing forwards as a direct flash that provides greater reach than the camera's built-in flash. Whenever you need it, just attach it and count on its ability to bring out the details in evening outdoor situations, as well as indoors in dimly lit rooms.

Automatic power on/off

The flash unit automatically powers on when it is raised into a shooting position and turns off when the flash body is lowered flat. This means that the flash is ready when you're ready to shoot, and also helps to avoid unnecessary power drain while not in use.

Auto White Balance Adjustment

Colour temperature varies according to the environment you're shooting in, and the colour temperature of a flash should match that of the ambient light to look natural. With this intelligent function, colour temperature information is transferred from the flash unit to the camera for the correct White Balance setting, thereby enabling more natural-looking flash photography.

Advance Distance Integration

ADI provides automatic metering that is virtually unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds, maintaining correct exposure even with overly reflective or overly dark subjects. It pre-flashes the unit to incorporate the reflected light measurement, together with precise distance information from a compatible camera’s lens, to achieve the optimum flash level (E-mount not supported).
