Flash System[For 35mm SLRs]
Dedicated Auto Flashes
AF540FGZ Dedicated Auto Flash (case included) （Discontinued）
This high-performance clip-on-type dedicated auto flash offers the maximum guide number of 50 (at ISO 100/m) and a wide 24mm angle of discharge. It also features an auto zoom mechanism to couple its angle of discharge with the selected lens focal length, and an adjustable head that swings vertically and horizontally for bounce-flash applications. In addition, it simplifies such complicated applications as trailing-shutter-curtain sync flash, multiple flash and slave flash, while incorporating an AF spotbeam projector to assist the camera's AF system.
Main features
- Clip-on auto flash with the maximum guide number of 54 (at ISO 100/m)
- A choice of flash modes, including P-TTL auto flash, TTL auto flash, programmed auto flash, and wireless remote flash
- Adjustable flash head that swings 90 degrees upwards, 10 degrees downwards, 135 degrees counterclockwise, and 180 degrees clockwise.
- Wide angle of discharge covering a 24mm lens (in the 35mm format), or a 20mm lens (in the 35mm format) using a built-in slide-out wide-angle adapter
- Compatibility with both compact SLR cameras (both in the 35mm film and digital formats) and medium-format cameras (such as PENTAX 67s and PENTAX 645s)
