View warranty terms and conditionsThe Sony HVL-F43M is an advanced external flash designed for photographers seeking versatility and creative control. Compatible with Sony's ADI and P-TTL systems, it offers precise metering and reliable automatic exposure. Its maximum guide number of 43 (at ISO 100 and 105 mm) provides solid power to illuminate scenes both indoors and outdoors.
Thanks to its rotating head and Quick Shift Bounce technology, you can direct light in multiple directions, even vertically, for more natural results and to avoid harsh shadows. The automatic zoom covers a range of 24-105 mm on full-frame cameras, expandable to 15 mm with the built-in wide-angle diffuser. It also features wireless TTL control for use as a remote flash. This second-hand unit has been inspected and comes with a Camera Market warranty, so you can use it with complete confidence.

Is it compatible with my Sony camera?
The HVL-F43M flash is compatible with Sony cameras that use the Multi Interface (MI) shoe system and support ADI or P-TTL modes. To ensure exact compatibility with your model, we recommend checking your camera's manual or the manufacturer's specifications.
Can I use this flash wirelessly?
Yes, the HVL-F43M supports wireless TTL control, allowing you to use it as a remote flash controlled by another compatible flash or by the camera (if it has wireless control function). This gives you flexibility to create more complex lighting setups.
What does the guide number 43 mean?
The guide number (GN) indicates the flash's power. A GN of 43 (at ISO 100 and 105 mm) means that at that focal length and sensitivity, the flash can correctly illuminate a subject at about 43 meters with an aperture of f/1.0 (in practice, it adjusts according to aperture and distance). It is a medium-high power, suitable for most situations.
Does the flash include any accessories?
The flash includes a built-in wide-angle diffuser and a bounce card (typically). However, as it is a second-hand product, the package contents may vary. We recommend checking the listing description or contacting us to confirm the accessories included with this specific unit.
