The compact and durable HVL-F28RM offers consistent light output, optimized light distribution and continuous flash performance that won’t interrupt your workflow with stable radio wireless communication and multi flash radio 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.
Flash control linked to camera’s face recognition
When used with a compatible camera, the balance between the light falling on the subject’s face to account to automatically adjust accurate white balance.
Continuous flash performance
A refined flash algorithm provides 50% higher resistance 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.
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.
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.
Bounce light for natural looking results
Light most often falls on subjects from above, whether it’s 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.
Intuitive controllable from compatible camera body menu
Flash compensation, light ratio, and other detailed flash parameters can be controlled directly from a compatible camera.
Advanced abilities for the widest range of shooting situations
Wireless radio-controlled flash gives you the most consistent results without pairing errors. Control signals can reach receivers, up to 30 meters away.
Multi-flash photography via radio wireless communication
Radio wireless communication is available in addition to conventional optical communication.
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.
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.
Auto White Balance Adjustment
Color temperature at time of flash shooting is affected by the guide number and flash type in use.
Simple controls
The user interface has been designed for easy, intuitive operation with a minimum of controls that include +/- light level buttons.
Powered by two AA (LR6) alkaline or NiMH batteries.
A fresh pair of alkaline batteries can provide power for up to 113 continuous flashes.
Multi/Micro USB ports
The HVL-F45RM features a Multi/Micro USB port for supporting firmware update to the latest version via connected PC.

One powerful little tool!
A fabulous product works with face detection recognition in almost all Sony cameras to. expose for face values. Set flash to minus 2/3 and just left it there after extensive flash testing I have always done. Indoor outdoor fill flash comes out perfect and makes the flash fill undectable as if the light happened to be prefect.
