Compact flash for mirrorless cameras

The Sony HVL-F28RMA is a lightweight camera flash built for compact mirrorless systems. It delivers a guide number of 28 for balanced everyday lighting. The unit weighs 1.0000 and integrates directly with the camera’s own face detection for natural skin tones. Photographers who need a small, dependable on-camera light will find it fits the role.

Guide Number 28 and close-range output

At GN28 the flash covers typical indoor and street scenes with comfortable headroom. Output rises at the 50mm focal-length setting, giving extra reach for portraits and detail work. Very large groups or distant subjects in dark venues will exceed its practical range. The power curve suits general-purpose shooting rather than high-output professional demands.

Multi-mode sync and camera integration

Rear-Sync, Slow-sync, High Speed Sync and Multi-flash settings are all available from the camera menu. No separate commander or cable is required because communication runs through the hot-shoe interface. The flash draws its energy from two AA batteries, which are not included. Studios needing studio-grade modelling lights or wireless radio control must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the HVL-F28RMA work with my older Sony mirrorless body that uses the Multi-Interface Shoe?

Yes, the flash mounts on the Multi-Interface Shoe and communicates with Sony cameras for TTL metering and face-detection-linked output.

How can I confirm the GN28 output is firing correctly after I attach the flash?

Take a test shot at 50 mm focal length in manual mode; the exposure should match the guide-number distance for the chosen aperture.

Does the box include batteries or a diffuser, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains the flash unit only; two AA batteries and any diffusion accessories are sold separately.
