IMPORTANT: I SOLD THIS FLASHGUN A LONG TIME AGO, and I hadn't used it for well over year before that. I don't know much about flash photography, so I cannot answer your questions. I'm sorry for that.

This is a video review of the Sony HVL-F42AM external flash gun compatible with Alpha DSLR camera's.

  • Hey, can you give me some information on what would be the best slave flash for a Sony. I'd be using it mostly for outdoor night shots. I've never bought an aftermarket flash so any recommendations or information would be great!

  • @TristanMathews17 I have no clue, sorry. Sold my flashgun about a half a year ago, after not having used it for well over a year. Flash photography isn't my thing.

  • @hbphotography700

    Do you shoot in low-light area? Do you just use low aperarture lenses?

  • @TristanMathews17 I shoot with a 35, 50 and 85mm, all f/1.4. I'm not afraid of pushing ISO up to 5000 or even 6400 either, if need be. Never need a flash.

  • so, I just went to your channel page to see the wireless function at it wasn't there. Haven't gotten around to it yet?

  • @reptedjess I was gonna make it, and then I got a 50mm f/1.4. Never used the flash after that. In fact, I sold it a couple of months ago. Sorry.

  • Didn't upload the video for the music. Don't like? Mute the video. Just that simple...

  • Are there any video here on youtube that show exactly how to use this F42 flash?

  • @hbphotography700 lol, sorry, I guess I should have mentioned that the information I asked about isn't o the unit or paperwork. I was hoping you had some other source that I don't have. Thanks very much anyway. Great video, by the way
