FL-600R Electronic Flash
The FL-600R is a high-brightness flash with a guide number of 36 (ISO100/m) and a maximum guide number of 50 (ISO200/m). Compared to FL-50R/FL-36R conventional flashes, this flash features greatly reduced charging time and improved operability. In addition, it comes with a new LED light[1]for improved movie shooting support. It is also equipped with a commander function[2].
The entire circuitry has been re-evaluated to speed up the charging time by 3 times that of the FL-36R and 2.4 times that of the FL-50R. In addition, the arrow pad and control dial can be used to adjust the settings just like the controls on the camera. Moreover, visibility has been enhanced with the wide LCD display.
The flash now features an LED light to support movie shooting in low light and backlit situations. It can also be used as an AF auxiliary light during still image photography.
The flash can be set to any of seven bounce angles up to 180 degrees horizontally and any of four bounce angles up to 90 degrees upward and 7 degrees downward. It comes with a built in catch light plate to control the spread of the flash and provide auxiliary illumination on the subject during bounce shooting.
The FL-600R is very powerful for its compact size and multiple FL-600R's can be used as wireless flashes. 3 groups (up to 4 groups*3) of the flashes can be controlled via the Super Control Panel on the camera. Controlling what groups fire and the intensity of each flash can be done remotely. It also comes equipped with a slave function. The FL-600R can be attached to the hot shoe of a camera and can be used as the master flash when using the commander function*2.
