An external flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe provides greater illumination than the camera’s built-in flash.

Flash accessories

There’s a full range of flash accessories giving you total control over creating exactly the lighting effects you want. Connecting cables allow you to trigger up to three external flash units simultaneously – and remember with wireless flash there’s no limit on the number of external flashes you can add. You can also reduce recharging time between flashes using an external power source (only for HVL-F56AM).

Viewfinder accessories

Low-angle and other awkward shooting positions become more comfortable with the handy angle finder. It’s easier to scrutinise close- up, macro or telephoto shots with the powerful eyepiece magnifier that enlarges the centre section of the frame by 2.3x.

Memory Stick media

You’ll appreciate the choice of removable media options to store your pictures. Images can be recorded on Memory Stick PRO Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed using the supplied Memory Stick CF adaptor. In addition, the CF slot accepts Type I or Type II (MicroDrive) removable media directly.
