  1. Functional compatibility may vary depending on a camera used.
, high-speed control sequencing in the camera uses pre-flash to control each individual flash
  1. P-TTL flash control is used for each frame in the Mid and Hi continuous shooting modes as well as the Lo mode (as of 2021).
during continuous bursts, even when tracking fast-moving subjects in scenes where the light changes dramatically.

  1. When attached to α9 III. Note that some variation in brightness and colour may occur between shots when using shutter speeds higher than 1/10000 second. The flash light levels may not reach the configured output setting at some shutter speeds, resulting in lower exposure levels than expected. Refer to the support page at https://www.sony.net/dics/ilce9m3fl/ for details. The flash can sync up to 1/400 second when attached to a model other than α9 III.
In HSS (High Speed Sync) mode, it can sync at shutter speeds from 1/400 – 1/8000 second.
  1. Full-frame. 1/500 – 1/8000 second for APS-C size.

so that fleeting moments can be captured with confidence.

Selectable flash distribution types

Three selectable flash distribution types are provided: Standard (STD), GN priority (CENTER), and wide-angle priority (EVEN).

Light output optimised for focal length and image size

The flash illumination angle is automatically adjusted to match the focal length of the lens used over a 24-105mm range. Light distribution is also adjusted for optimum illumination with full-frame or APS-C format.

High-speed, slow, and rear-curtain sync

High-speed sync works at all shutter speeds

, and can be used with the aperture wide open to produce beautiful background bokeh for portraits. Slow sync and rear-curtain sync are also supported.

Innovative overheating prevention for longer shooting sessions

The use of heat resistant materials plus an optimised flash algorithm provides higher resistance to overheating that allows continuous shooting for longer periods of time. The HVL-F46RMA uses the same algorithms as the flagship HVL-F60RM2, achieving approx. 1.7
