Clip-on flash EF-X500

The “EF-X500” is a flash with a maximum guide number of about 50 (* 1) that can be attached to a hot shoe. Since it is compatible with “FP flash (high speed sync)”, it is now possible to use flash photography at all shutter speeds. You can concentrate on shooting without being aware of the shutter speed, even when shooting near the open aperture aiming for beautiful bokeh, where the shutter speed tends to be high.

The “EF-X500” also supports multi-lamp lighting. You can freely control the light given to the subject and background using multiple flashes, enabling creative shooting. Even when using multiple lights, TTL automatic dimming is supported, so you can start shooting without troublesome light intensity settings, just like when shooting with one light.

FP flash (high speed sync) enables free shooting without being aware of the shutter speed.

With a camera that uses a focal plane shutter, the front and rear curtains run at the same time during a high-speed shutter, and the sensor is exposed in a slit shape. It will be. For this reason, high-speed shutters cannot be used in flash photography, and the range of shutter speeds that can be used is greatly limited.
The EF-X500 supports “FP flash (high speed sync)”, which continuously flashes while the front and rear curtains are running, and you can use flash photography at all shutter speeds. became.

When shooting near an open aperture aiming for beautiful bokeh, the shutter speed tends to be high, but you do not have to be aware of the shutter speed limit, and you can concentrate on shooting.

You can freely control the light that the wireless multi-lamp TTL gives to the subject and background, enabling creative shooting.

You can freely control the light given to the subject and background using multiple flashes, enabling creative shooting. Even when using multiple lights, TTL automatic dimming is supported, so you can start shooting without troublesome light intensity settings, just like when shooting with one light.

By dividing multiple flashes into three groups and controlling them, and adjusting the amount of light for each group, you can create a space of light. The amount of light can be adjusted from the camera, so there is no need to change the camera when making adjustments.

Dustproof and drip-proof toughness expands the shooting field with the X series cameras

For the first time with our flash, it is equipped with dustproof and drip-proof performance. By using it with a dust-proof and drip-proof X series camera, you can expand the shooting field.

Innovative exterior design and low center of gravity design create the best matching harmony with lightweight and compact X series cameras.

The front of the body has a leather-like texture that matches the X-series cameras. In addition, we have designed a low center of gravity so that operability is not impaired when attached to the X-series cameras, which are characterized by their light weight and compactness.
