“Quick Shi Bounce”

The innovative “Quick Shi Bounce” system allows the HVL-F43AM to orbit 90 degrees le and
right, allowing you to maintain horizontal light distribution even when shooting vertically. In
addition to pivoting side-to-side, the ash unit can also tilt down 8 degrees or back 150 degrees,
ensuring customers the lighting freedom they need to capture that perfect shot.

Versatile bounce angles

Versatile bounce angles: 90° up, 90° le. This allows the ash head to be rotated while maintaining
the set bounce angle, so you can quickly switch between horizontal and vertical format without
changing the light angle.

Built-In Bounce sheet

The built-in bounce sheet can be used even when shooting in a vertical position without
changing the angle of reected light.

Auto white balance

Auto zoom

Auto zoom optimized for camera sensor size

Dust and Moisture resistant design

Sealing materials are set at joints of outer materials (body, LCD panel, Mounting Foot etc.) and
around movement/operating parts thereby increasing the life of your ash unit.

Modeling light capability

Modeling light capability allows the HVL-F43AM to pulse, helping photographers determine
where shadows will fall before taking the picture, so they can alter lighting or subject positioning
as necessary.

Wireless Ratio Control

Wireless Ratio Control allows customers to wirelessly control up to three groups of ashes, as well
as specify the luminosity ratio for each group, so they can enjoy multiple-ash lighting techniques
without the need for special equipment or tedious exposure settings.
