Sony Alpha HVL-F28RM External Flash with Wireless Remote Control

Compact and reliable, for flawless flash control with (GN28)

Designed to match Sony’s mirrorless cameras for a compact, manageable system, the HVL-F28RM offers the type of reliable, stable performance you expect with your Sony Alpha cameras. This compact, easy-to-use flash unit delivers the capabilities and dependability that professional and advanced amateur users demand. Consistent light output at each flash is ensured thanks to precise communication between the flash unit and camera. Specified Guide Number (GN28) 1 light output is consistently maintained in the widest possible range of conditions while light distribution has been carefully optimized for uniform coverage right out to the image corners without falloff. *50 mm, at ISO100 in meters

Flash control linked to camera’s face recognition

When used with a compatible camera 2 , the balance between the light falling on the subject’s face and the ambient light is taken into account to automatically adjust accurate white balance so that the subject’s face is rendered with natural, lifelike color. This is a new function introduced in the Alpha 7C. Some of existing flash units are also supported.

Continuous flash performance

A refined flash algorithm provides 50% higher resistance 4 to overheating (compared to the HVL-F32M) for continuous flash performance that provides constant and stable flash output, during shooting sessions and won’t interrupt your workflow. A flash recycle time of 4.1 sec. with Ni-MH batteries and 6.4 sec. alkaline batteries has been achieved.

Durable dust and moisture resistant design
Downsized with dust and moisture resistant design

Equip yourself for varied shooting conditions with this compact lightweight clip-on flash. The HVL-F28RM is ideally suited to the full-frame Sony Alpha 7-series and compact Alpha APS-C cameras and features a rugged and durable dust and moisture resistant design 5 , that can withstand the rigors of professional work, even in challenging outdoor environments. Even greater dust and moisture resistance is achieved when the HVL-F28RM is mounted and locked onto the Alpha 7S III, Alpha 7R IV and Alpha 9 II.

Metal foot and side frame protects shoe connection

The Multi Interface foot is fabricated from metal for higher strength with reinforced side frame that also houses the unit’s electrical contacts and offers improved resistance to physical shock and impact from all directions. Durability of the flash has been implemented to match the durability of your Sony Alpha camera.

Bounce light for natural looking results

Light most often falls on subjects from above, whether its from the sun or overhead lighting. This light from above makes subjects, especially portraits of people, look more natural and pleasing than from harsh direct light. The HVL-F28RM provides plenty of light for bounce applications and the flash angle can be set as required via 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 120 degree click stops for easy positioning in a variety of shooting situations. A lock is provided at the 0-degree position to prevent unwanted angle changes in hectic shooting situations. The bounce angle can easily be changed while the lock release button is pressed.

Intuitive controllable from compatible camera body menu

Flash compensation, light ratio, and other detailed flash parameters can be controlled directly from a compatible camera. A camera custom key can be assigned to call up the flash parameter display so that adjustments can be made while looking through the viewfinder and gripping the camera. Flash parameters are shown in the selected camera display language.
