High speed-flash
Thanks to the version 2.0 (or later) software update, external flash can be controlled from the camera.
The HVL-F60RM clip-on flash unit features high GN60 power, high-speed continuous shooting support, and fast operation that are ideal for advanced to professional users. Wireless radio commander/receiver functionality is included.
The high GN60 output and 220 times continuous emission of this flash unit provides plenty of power for various shooting.
Charge cycle time is 1.7 seconds, or just 0.6 seconds with the External Battery Adaptor (FA-EBA1) (optional) for continuous shooting. Proper flash synchronisation is maintained during continuous shooting, minimising flash misfires and ruined shots.
Quick Shift Bounce allows to use the lighting features from horizontal to vertical
Quick Shift Bounce is Sony’s original flash head rotating mechanism with the main unit tiltable from horizontal to vertical and it allows fast flash position changes. (90° left and right, 150° up/8° down)
Direct output adjustment
An independent light output level button (LEVEL -/+ button) allows direct control of output or compensation for efficient workflow. Paired wireless flashes can also be easily adjusted via a LCD panel.

In addition to optical remote triggering, wireless radio triggering is supported. Wireless radio communication works reliably at distances of up to 30 meters and even around obstacles or in bright conditions. A total of 15 flash units can be assigned to up to 5 groups.
Conventional optical triggering and wireless radio triggering cover a wide range of situations. A HVL-F60RM mounted on a compatible camera can be paired with off-camera units to provide reliable communication over long distances in conditions that would make optical communication difficult. Slow sync, rear-curtain sync, and multi flash are supported.
Up to 15 flash units can be assigned to up to 5 groups for wireless flash control at distances of up to 30 meters. Optional Wireless Radio Commander (FA-WRC1M) and Wireless Radio Receiver (FA-WRR1) units allow the HVL-F60RM to be used with Sony flash units that do not have built-in radio wireless capability, as well as the radio-capable HVL-F45RM.
Control the ideal combination of shutter speed and flash intensity.
Appropriate flash output is determined by using pre-flash to measure exposure.
Not only for studio, but also for outdoor shooting, a built-in LED light is very useful. It also functions as an AF assist light to ensure accurate autofocus operation in dim lighting. The LED can make manual focus easier in dark situations too.
The supplied colour filters can be used to match or complement existing lighting in order to achieve natural white balance or create a specific atmosphere.
