About this product

Product Information

The Sony HVL-F42AM shoe mount flash is a digital camera photography flash designed to replace the Sony HVL-F36AM, and to provide additional lighting power beyond the camera’s built-in flash. The HVL-F42AM provides up to 30 feet of illumination so that it can be used for lighting a photo subject that is either near or far. The power generated by the flash is suitable for creating bounce lighting as well, so that photos can be captured with a shadow less, indirect flash source. Sony has created the flash with planned compatibility so the HVL-F42AM will work easily with Sony DSLR cameras, including digital SLR cameras on the Sony Alpha platform. The flash requires four AA batteries for power. It uses standard AA batteries allows for easy battery backups to be taken on location, and eliminates any downtime that could otherwise be spent recharging built-in flash batteries. The Sony HVL-F42AM shoe mount flash features both automatic and manual zoom, which increases the level of control while providing an easy-to-use automatic option as well. This flash also has high speed synchronization (HSS), which ensures that the flash illuminates the subject for the exact amount of time that the shutter is opened. High speed synchronization allows a photographer to use the flash when the shutter speed is set faster than the standard flash synchronization speed of the camera. Another feature included in this flash is wireless off-camera control. Wireless off-camera control allows the flash to be positioned away from the camera, but triggered by the camera when taking a photo. This feature can be used in a wide range of settings such as portraits or wedding shots that are designed to be illuminated from one side. In addition, the HVL-F42AM shoe mount flash has a retractable wide-angle panel, camera color temperature signals, and ADI metering ability. The flash face can be adjusted up to 90 degrees vertically and 180 degrees horizontally, so that various photography subjects can be addressed with the perfect amount of light. This accessory also employs automatic white balance technology to simplify the lighting process in various settings. The blend of automatic and manual features combine to make the Sony HVL-F42AM flash a powerful upgrade from the Sony DSLR camera’s built-in flash. The Sony HVL-F42AM shoe mount flash dimensions are 2.95 inches wide, 4.84 inches high, and 3.94 inches deep, and the flash weighs 11.99 ounces. While the size and weight of this device do add some bulk to a camera, it is on the small end of the shoe mount flash spectrum, and within its dimensions the HVL-F42AM houses a number of features that add flexible and powerful lighting to the options available to the digital SLR photographer. With this accessory, a standard Sony DSLR camera can be upgraded from a capable device to a professional tool suitable for weddings, portraits, special events, still-life photography, and other applications that require additional flash power and lighting control beyond that provided by a built-in camera flash. The HVL-F42AM shoe mount flash is made to be compatible with Sony DSLR cameras and is a rich lighting option in a manageable size.

    Excellent entry to mid level flash

    Bought this flash to use on my Sony A55 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's easy to use and works beautifully. Didn't need a pro level flash, just needed something powerful enough to take pics of the grandchildren in dimly lit rooms of approximately 20 to 25 feet maximum size. It bounced off my 11 foot ceiling and imparted a warm, balanced light across the subject of my picture at a comfortable distance using my 18 - 55 zoomed in to 55. It bounces off of walls as well, which gave a unique perspective to my picture, like light coming in through a window. It isn't overly tall or heavy, so didn't make my camera difficult to hold or manuever. Very nice flash for us older folks who don't need all the bells and whistles, just something powerful enough to do the job indoors in average sized ...

    great flash for Sony under $500

    I did not want to spend the money for F58AM, so after reading many reviews I went with the 42. It was a great choice. I get the features without the $500 price. It totaly blows away even the name brand flashes when mounted on an Alpha, as it should. Don't waste money on non Sony flashes if you really want them to work properly with you Alpha. This flash may not be the flagship of the Sony line, but the performance for the money is exceptionable. The diffuser is a bit on the flimsy side, but that is really all the bad I can say about the construction of the unit. With a 24mm prime portrait lens this flash rocks when used wireless. When camera mounted using a 18-250mm sony lens the performance from about 22-2oomm is very good profiding flash to the full field, when at 18-24 you do get ...

    A must have for compatible Sony camera owners.

    Wireless = Total flash freedom. Either on Auto or Manual the choices to set up the flash are great and easy. Fast battery power recycling. Great TTL (Thru The Lens) metering.

    Great flash, easy to use

    Replaced a Sigma flash that was not working with my Sony bodies. The Sony flash works as it should, and is easy to use. Flash pictures turn out great. Much better coverage than built in camera flash.
