Product Reviews

This flash works very well in TTL and quite consistent in the output. Only thing is that the pan action of the flash is super stiff it almost feel tweeting it off the camera hot shoe when trying to turn it.

Bought this a week ago and used for one large event of about 250 people. I was a Canon user for over 30 years, comparing to Canon picture quality this is not my choice. I bought sony setup for video filming, but I will not use for any event photography. Hope Sony is performing well on outdoor photography, but images does not give any natural look. Suffering to edit to get to some corrections made my time wast. Canon images what I expos I can sell straight away. But near future I will get my hands on with Sony.

Of all the Sony and Zeiss equipment which I own, this flash is the only major disappointment! If you shoot portraits holding the camera with your elbow above the camera, as recommended by Sony, opposed to with an elbow against your body, you can only bounce the flash off the floor, not off the ceiling. That is because the flash head only rotates into one direction. Now, If you are not using the battery grip, you can still take photographs by shooting in the way not recommended by Sony, holding the camera with elbow below the camera.. However, if you are using the battery grip, you have no choice. You just cannot use this flash. I intended to use this compact flash mainly for fill-in, but as it happens I can only use it as a second flash for off-camera shooting now. It is that kind of things that make me feel as if there is no photographer's input in design of Sony equipment. I sometimes think that some of the features and their design might be constrained by hybrid nature of the cameras, but not in this case. It is otherwise nice compact flash, which I cannot use as I intended.
