Compact GN46 1 flash supports the latest camera technology
This compact high-output GN461 flash unit delivers levels of sophistication and camera communication that only Sony can offer, offering reliable flash at high continuous shooting speeds and sync at shutter speeds up to 1/400 sec 2 . Outstanding durability, intuitive operation via the camera 2 , flexible bounce angle adjustment, and wireless radio communication add refined control and versatility.
Intelligent communication with the latest bodies
Lighting System has evolved in parallel with camera bodies to give creators optimum illumination in a wide range of applications. A level of integration that is only possible with original Sony products achieves detailed communication with compatible camera bodies for reliable and precise light control.

Auto white balance accuracy that only original equipment can achieve
Auto white balance accuracy that only original equipment can achieve Thanks to in-house design, this advanced flash unit transfers color temperature data to the camera where that data is used to precisely adjust white balance so that colors are rendered naturally in any situation.
Light output optimized for focal length and image size
Light output optimized for focal length and image size The flash illumination angle is automatically adjusted to match the focal length of the lens used over a 24-105mm range. Light distribution is also adjusted for optimum illumination with full-frame or APS-C format.
Fast recycle and dependable high-speed continuous flash
Fast recycle and dependable high-speed continuous flash Advanced electronics and construction contribute to fast recycle times and allow continuous flash shooting for extended periods of time. A set of four batteries can provide power for more than 320 flashes with 2.0 second recycle time 4 .
Innovative overheating prevention for longer shooting sessions
Innovative overheating prevention for longer shooting sessions The use of heat resistant materials plus an optimized flash algorithm provides higher resistance to overheating that allows continuous shooting for longer periods of time. The HVL-46RM uses the same algorithms as the flagship HVL-F60RM2, achieving approx. 1.7 5 x greater overheating resistance than the HVL-F45RM so you can shoot without being interrupted by heat issues.
Stable high-speed continuous flash shooting
Stable high-speed continuous flash shooting With a compatible camera 3 the HVL-F46RM can continuously provide flash for up to 60 frames 6 in high-speed bursts at up to 10 fps. Missed frames dues to flash sync failure are avoided, providing stable continuous shooting support.
Up to 1/400 sec. shutter sync with a compatible camera 3 for new expression
Up to 1/400 sec. shutter sync with a compatible camera 3 for new expression Used with a compatible camera 3 body the HVL-F46RM allows flash sync up to 1/400 sec. This makes it possible to deemphasize the background while using flash to illuminate the main subject, illuminate moving subjects against a bright background, and more.
Per-frame P-TTL flash control adapts to changing light
Per-frame P-TTL flash control adapts to changing light Used with a compatible camera 3 , high-speed control sequencing in the camera uses pre-flash to control each individual flash 7 during continuous bursts, even when tracking fast-moving subjects in scenes where the light changes dramatically.
Minimal flash trigger time lag 5
Minimal flash trigger time lag 5 When using the HVL-F46RM in combination with a compatible camera 3 , time lag between pressing the shutter button and flash output is significantly reduced 5 so that fleeting moments can be captured with confidence.
Dot-matrix display and custom keys for efficient operation
Dot-matrix display and custom keys for efficient operation The same display tab format as the camera makes operation easy and intuitive. The Quick Navi display provides status info plus direct access to important parameters, with assignable arrow key, control wheel, and custom key input.
