Extends ash range beyond camera’s included ash
Though compact and lightweight, the HVL-F20M has a maximum range twice that of the included
ash units of the NEX-6 or SLT-A58K and includes Sony's new Multi Interface shoe for expanded
compatibility. This is represented as the guide number (GN) of 20 with a 50mm focal distance.
Bounce ash enables shadowless indirect lighting
When set to ‘indoor’ shooting mode, the ash points up to bounce light o the ceiling for shadowless
illumination of your subject. When set to the ‘outdoor’ shooting mode, the ash directs light directly
at your subject.
Built-in diuser for wide and telephoto shooting
With the built-in diuser, the ash illumination covers a wider angle of view or if users want to to shoot
at a greater distance, they can rotate the dial on the side of the ash unit to the ‘Tele’ Position. While
the 'Tele" setting reduces the width of ash coverage, it extends the range to illuminate more distant
subjects.
Easy intuitive operation
Unlike most external ash units, the HVL-F20M has no dedicated ON/OFF switch. Instead, power is
automatically switched on simply by raising the ash unit into the shooting position. In addition, a
switch on the side of the unit quickly moves the ash from direct to bounce, making it easy to obtain
ash illumination that suits the shooting situation. A charging lamp indicates when the ash is ready to
re.
ADI Flash Metering System
The ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) ash metering system oers the optimum ash metering
and automatic white-balance compensation regardless of the background conditions or the
subject’s reectance. ADI ash metering works in combination with α cameras and lenses that
incorporate a distance encoder. When used with these lenses, the camera calculates a guide
number to control TTL (through the lens) ash metering. This guide number is calculated according to
distance from the subject, ambient light and pre-ash reectivity of the subject and the background.
