About this product

Product Information

The HVL-F43AM shoe mount flash from Sony is lightweight and compact, so it won’t take up very much room in your carrying case. Its zoom head allows you to illuminate subjects with clarity even under conditions of extremely poor light. It has a built-in wide panel that supports light coverage to a focal length of 15 millimeters when triggered by the camera. Its proprietary Quick Shift Bounce system enables the HVI-F43AM to distribute horizontal illumination evenly. The flash can pivot a full 90 degrees in both the right and the left directions. This ability is especially useful for taking portrait shots in dim lighting.This Sony HVL-F43AM flash measures 3 inches by 5.125 inches by 3.5 inches and weighs approximately 0.75 pounds. A user manual is available for download as a pdf file. The unit requires four AA batteries in order to operate. An indicator on the data panel will begin to blink when your batteries are low and need to be replaced. The unit will switch into power save mode if it’s on but unused for more than three minutes.The HVL-F43AM flash is compatible with most new Sony models, including the SLT-A99, SLT-A58, NEX-6, NEX-VG900, NEX-VG30, Cyber-shot DSC-HX50, DSC-RX1, and DSC-RX1R models. It’s also compatible with interchangeable-lens Sony camcorders as long as they’re equipped with a Multi Interface Shoe connection slot.The Sony HVI-F43AM is an excellent flash with a number of sophisticated functions. The brightness of its high-power LED light can be adjusted to ten different levels. The HVL-F43AM uses color temperature information to correct the white balance in your photographs automatically. It also automatically calculates optimal illumination coverage using information from your image sensor. This Sony unit can deploy wireless control in shooting situations that require multiple flash effects. You can use wireless technology to couple the flash built into your camera with your Sony unit. Once the two flashes are coordinated, you can time them to go off at different intervals. You can also use your HVL-F43AM as a controller to trigger any number of external flashes if your camera supports lighting ratio control.For added safety, this Sony unit contains an internal circuit that will suspend automatically if the unit starts to overheat. The unit is resistant to both dust and moisture, so it can be used for outdoor photography projects. This device also lets you try a test flash before you take an actual shot.“Shoe mount” is the nickname given to external flashguns that work in conjunction with a camera. They fire when you depress your shutter button. In addition to providing better illumination for backlit scenes and other problematic situations, flash mounts can also create very interesting shadows.

The shipping was fast and the lens was very well packed but the lens had a little fungus on it that the seller failed to mention on the item's description. The communication with the seller was excellent and and the return to Japan was fast. Also the refund was made without any problem when the seller received the item back. I will do business with them again in the future.

    Saved me!

    I needed a replacement HVL-F43AM for my Sony A77. It's an older camera which a proprietary flash foot. I contacted Joymoto, told him my timeline and a price, we came to a deal with the caviat that I needed it before the upcoming Saturday, just four days from the purchase. I was sweating it and It was delivered on-time and worked perfectly. It was exactly delivered as advertised. Would gladly do business with Joymoto again.

  • Awesome flash, but has a slight wobbble when mounted to camera.

    Still learning how to use this flash. It is pretty amazing, especially the fact that it can rotate 90 degrees to have a proper flash while taking portraits. Lots of options. My only gripe is that even though it fits on the hot shoe of my A77 and A350 it has a slight wobble to it, front to back only on where it mates to the camera. It's not terrible, and it doesn't feel like it will come off the camera but it is slightly annoying, almost like the tolerances are a little too small. I read other reviews that state the same problem, so it's a Sony manufacturing issue. Also heard there is an issue with the flash over heating if used fast for extended periods. Other than that, it seems really great.

  • Excellentt flash, but expensive

    This flash supports wireless and that's great, but for the price you can have a Godox transmitter and 2 flashes for on- or off-camera use. The flash is bright and reliable, if not always even. Bottom line: great flash, but get the Godox

  • Totally a work horse!

    The HVL F43AM is a work horse. The built quality is sturdy and feel very compact. There is one little draw back, I use a A77 DSLR, and with my camera the shoe mount tends to wobble a little (this has not presented a problem for me). The flash is powerful, the interface menu is easy and I have not had any excessive heating problem. Nice equipment!

  • Arrived quickly, well packed, all accessories in box. Tiny spot of old corrosion on battery door, but nothing that can't be cleaned up in few minutes
