control of up to three groups of ashes with user-selected luminosity ratios.
Key Features
High-power illumination
High-power illumination (guide number: 43)
New LED video light
With the new built-in LED video light it has never been easier to switch between stills and movie shooting even in lowlight conditions. LED enables checking and setting the light and shadow conditions before shooting still image or movie
with live view function of EVF equipped camera. Maximum luminance of 400 lux/(0.5m), with illuminating distance of
approximately 3-1/4 feet (1m) at ISO3200/F5.6.
Longer eective range
Longer eective range of over 30 . (10.5m)
“Quick Shi Bounce”
The innovative “Quick Shi Bounce” system allows the HVL-F43M 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 reected
light.
Auto white balance
Auto white balance (signals color temp. to camera)
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-F43M to pulse, helping photographers determine where shadows will fall before
taking the picture, so they can alter lighting or subject positioning as necessary.
Retractable wide-angle panel
Retractable wide-angle panel (15mm angle)
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.
