Compatible with Sony ADI / P-TTL systems, this flash provides robust performance with up to 320 flashes per set of batteries and a fast 2-second recycling time, ensuring you’re always ready for the next shot. With its advanced features, the HVL-F46MA empowers photographers with remarkable control. It supports incredibly fast 1/80,000 second shutter speeds when using High-Speed Sync mode, allowing you to freeze fast action or perfectly balance flash with bright ambient light. Featuring a built-in modeling lamp and versatile flash modes including TTL, manual, multi, high-speed sync, rear-curtain sync, and slow-sync, this flash offers unparalleled flexibility for any shooting scenario. Compact Power with Flexible ControlThis small yet mighty GN46 flash unit delivers bright and consistent flashes, even during rapid continuous shooting. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use, and it offers syncing capabilities up to 1/400 shutter speed without needing High-Speed Sync. The adjustable bounce angles—180° left/right, 150° up, and 8° down—combined with wireless controls, provide incredible flexibility for on-the-go shooting. The HVL-F46MA is optimized to support 24-105mm focal lengths for the most consistent lighting output, making it a versatile tool for many lenses. Reliable Wireless Communication and Smart FeaturesThe HVL-F46MA communicates seamlessly and wirelessly with Sony’s Alpha camera bodies. This reliable wireless radio control, effective up to 98.4 feet (30m) away, gives photographers greater freedom for off-camera lighting setups and precise light control. It even links white balance and flash control to a compatible camera’s face detection technology, helping to keep every shot in focus with accurate skin tones. Power the HVL-F46MA with four readily available AA alkaline or Ni-MH batteries for an illuminating and reliable flash output. Adapts to Changing Light and High-Speed ShootingThe flash’s High-Speed Sync (HSS) capabilities offer photographers powerful creative options. When paired with a compatible Sony camera, the flash’s HSS control sequencing communicates with the camera to track subject movement, producing accurately lit images regardless of changing light quality. This allows you to sync the flash up to an incredible 1/80,000 second shutter speed while using HSS to capture fleeting, split-second moments with precision. Powerful and compact, the HVL-F46MA provides continuous flashes for up to 60 frames in bursts up to 10 fps, ensuring you don’t miss a beat. With 0.1-2.5 second recycling time options across its various flash modes (multi, high-speed sync, rear-curtain sync, and slow-sync), you can tailor the flash performance to your specific needs. The design also significantly reduces time lag between pressing the shutter button and the flash firing, offering a reliable solution for fast-paced shooting environments.
