Cactus AF45 Auto Electronic Flash



TTL
Fully supports Sony Alpha & Minolta TTL, the advanced programming and computerized circuitry of the flashgun provide correct amount of flash light output according to the camera's exposure measurement through the lens. If you prefer quick shooting and automatic flash power control, then the TTL mode of the Cactus AF45 is just for you.

Manual Flash Power Control
For those who usually opt for manual power control, then 5 level of "Power Ratio" (full power, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16) could be selected in M (manual) mode. The LC display automatically shows the flash-to-subject distance required for correct exposure.

Wireless slave
The light sensor of the flash supports wireless slave mode. When light from an external source is detected, the flash will be triggered. Power output can be controlled manually too.




The above are only some of the features of the Cactus AF45. Below is a list of its other functions:
  • Automatic shutter speed setting
