不太理解，为啥要转过来？原来那样的竖拍不也一样拍吗？这样有什么好处吗？

不错，期待一下！

不错。

no, it's sonystylization

真是好灯，竖拍直接搞定！

后背看起来更像个手持GPS...背光也彻底变橙色啦...这叫Deminoltarization....

SAN DIEGO, Jun. 19, 2008 – Sony is expanding its a (alpha) system of accessories to include the new HVL-F58AM flash unit with exceptional features for versatile and flexible external lighting control.



HVL-F58AMQuick Shift Bounce and Expanded Versatility



This new flash features a new and innovative Quick Shift Bounce system. It offers more creative ways to achieve lighting, flash and bounce angles you may not have been able to experience before.

The flash head can pivot 90 degrees left and right on a horizontal axis in addition to the conventional up and down vertical adjustment. With this system, the camera and flash unit can keep the same orientation regardless of portrait or landscape shooting. This gives a higher degree of flexibility when arranging the direction of light.

For example, you can take full advantage of the flash unit’s built-in bounce card even during portrait shots since the flash head can maintain the same orientation as it would in the landscape position.




Enhanced Operability and Ease-of-Use



A powerful performer, the HVL-F58AM flash unit features a maximum guide number of 58 at 105mm and ISO 100. It recycles (or recharges) in as little as five seconds, approximately 55% faster than the predecessor HVL-F56AM model, so you are ready to capture the next shot. And because it features a quiet recycle charge, there’s no whine to distract you from your subject.

It also has a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that is about 13% larger than its predecessor’s. Its intuitive control layout makes it easy to control flash functions and configure the settings based on your shooting needs.



HVL-F58AMWireless Auto Flash Control



This new flash has wireless auto flash control so you can remove the flash unit from the camera and easily light subjects from different angles. Photographers can create soft shadows to add depth to their images and avoid the strong shadows and hot spots that can occur with front lighting.  The HVL-F58AM flash unit can also control the ratio of lighting from several off-camera flash units.

Up to three groups of flashes can be set up for optimal, complete control of lighting via a wireless connection. Flash output ratios can be adjusted automatically without having to do tedious exposure calculations. Additionally, you can fire a modeling flash to preview flash effects before taking the picture. Even with multiple units, the modeling flash fires according to the flash ratio you have set.



HVL-F58AMAdvanced Features for Optimal DSLR Performance



One of the flash’s most advanced features is its sophisticated zoom control that automatically optimizes illumination angles that are suitable for either APS-C size or 35mm full frame sensors. This control reduces light “fall-off” at the periphery of images.

It also has an advanced white balance compensation system that gathers color temperature information, complimenting the white balance information reading of the camera.  This achieves more accurate results when the main unit is in auto white balance mode.

Other features include: high-speed synchronization at shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 of a second, ADI flash metering, manual flash and zoom (six levels), multiple-flash, and a supplied mini-stand for greater wireless freedom.

一点点翻译....

圣地亚哥，07-19-2008，Sony索尼推出了HVL-F58AM闪光灯，极大地扩展了Alpha的附件配套系统。新的闪光灯有很多独到的特点，更为全能和灵活的外置布光控制

快速转换广角泛光板和拓展多应用性

新的闪光灯拥有十分有创造性的快速广角泛光板转换系统。该系统提供了更多之前不可企及的创意布光，闪光和跳闪角度。

F58AM不仅能以传统方式上下摆头调节角度，更增加了按水平轴左右90度旋转摆头。这样不管是横拍还是竖排，该灯都能保持同样的角度，加强了布光方向的灵活性。

例如，在竖拍的时候，摄影家同样可以利用闪光灯内设的广角泛光板进行创作，该灯可以像横拍时一样保持光的方向不变。

增强操作性和易用性

作为极为彪悍的牛灯，HVL-F58AM最大GN指数在105mm和ISO100情况下为58。回电时间仅为5秒，大约比老弟F56AM快55%，这样摄影家就可以更为迅速彪悍地连拍。更强的是回电时非常安静，使你更加专注于勾引MT。

更爽的一点，该灯的液晶屏比老弟56大13%，键位也排列更加易于操作，符合手型，增强手感。

无线自动闪光控制

该灯同样具有无线自动闪光控制功能，摄影家就可以便利地离机自由组合被摄主题和角度。S粉们可以避免正面打灯那种生硬的、不河蟹的调调，可以创造出更为柔和的光影。还可以将n个58放一起离机狂闪，同时设置它们的闪光输出比例，造出更为魔幻的效果。

无线引闪可以最佳控制三组闪灯同时作用。闪光量输出比例牛到可以自己计算调整，而无需S粉们枯燥繁琐自行计算。另外，更有造型光功能可用，以来避免闪光阴影。多个牛灯同时工作时，造型光也可以自行调节输出比例。

DSLR高级优化特性

牛灯的其中最先进的特点是，该灯极为复杂的变角控制系统可以自动优化照亮角度来适应APS-C和全幅滴机机。这样就解决了边上照不着，全幅机暗角的问题。

同样，牛灯还有先进的白平衡补偿系统，也来采集色温信息来补充机身采集的白平衡。这样，使用自动白平衡的时候，就可以达到更为准确的效果。

其它特点：1/4000秒高速同步，支持ADI测光，手动调角(6档)，频闪，以及离闪用的坐台。
