Features

  • Compact and Reliable for Flawless Flash Control

    Designed to match Sony’s mirrorless cameras for a compact, manageable system, the HVL-F28RMA 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.

  • Flash C Linked to the Camera's Facial Recognition

    When used with a compatible camera, 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 existing flash units are also supported.

  • Continuous Flash Performance

    A refined flash algorithm provides 50% higher resistance to overheating (compared to the predecessor 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 up to 4.1 sec. with Ni-MH batteries and up to 6.4 sec. alkaline batteries has been achieved.

  • Downsized with Dust and Moisture Resistant Design

    Equip yourself for varied shooting conditions with this compact lightweight clip-on flash. The HVL-F28RMA 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 design¹, that can withstand the rigors of professional work, even in challenging outdoor environments.

  • 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

    This light from above makes subjects, especially portraits of people, look more natural and pleasing than from harsh direct light. The HVL-F28RMA 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.

  • 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 language².

  • Advanced Abilities for the Widest Range of Shooting Situations

    Control signals can reach receivers, up to 114ft. (30 meters) away, even in challenging conditions such as distant locations, strong sunlight, or when the flash is behind the subject, which can make optical flash sync difficult or even impossible. The compact clip-on HVL-F28RMA flash can operates as an on-camera flash, radio wireless commander or receiver in multi-flash setups to meet your off camera creative lighting needs.

  • Multi-Flash Photography Via Radio Wireless Communication

    Since this flash unit can be used as both commander and receiver, it supports a wide range of shooting conditions. As a commander, this flash can be paired with other HVL-F28RMA units or combined with optional wireless radio commander (FA-WRC1M) and receiver (FA-WRR1) for use with other compatible flashes and studio lights. It can connect with up to 15 compatible off-camera flash units or receivers in up to 5 groups.

  • High-Speed Sync (HSS) with Wireless Flash Support

    While conventional sync shooting requires the shutter speed to be the same or slower than synched flash speed, this narrows the aperture, making it difficult to capture background bokeh effects. This allows aperture increases as needed to create a narrow depth of field, keeping the subject in perfect focus against a blurred background for beautiful portrait shots.

  • Through-the-Lens (TTL) Wireless Flash

    Even when performing wireless flash shooting, flash output can be determined based on accurate measurement of the amount of light through the lens. Since the user can freely change position and direction of the flash unit exactly as desired, it’s possible to soften intense shadows and suppress blown highlights when shooting a subject from right in front or add soft shadows that emphasize a sense of depth and presence.

    Nice Compact Flash

    Works great with my Sony A7C II. Has enough light to light up my subject outdoor and compact enough to travel with. Would be nice if it could swivel side to side and not just up and down. There is no lcd screen so you can’t see your setting but I have an external flash setting in my camera quick menu to access that so it’s not an issue.

    Great product

    I create content so I always choose Sony, traveled to Miami for a video and stopped by to grab an external flash since my Sony zv1 camera dosent have one. This was the only one they had in stock that was compatible with my camera! Even though it didn’t work out and I didn’t use it for what I needed it for it was very easy to use and great quality per usual! If your looking for a flash for pictures this is definitely worth it.
