Pentax AF-180 FG flash unit

Pentax AF-180 FG flash unit

The compact AF180FG flash unit is a valuable accessory that not only brings light into dark rooms, but also offers a number of creative options for image composition, for example as an indirect flash. It supports the P-TTL function of Pentax Digital SLR and GRIII cameras, providing precise exposure control.

Compact housing with reliable, dust and weatherproof design

This automatic flash unit has a compact, well-balanced housing that is ideal for use with our P-TTL compatible digital cameras. Thanks to 18 seals in key areas of the housing, including the hot shoe, it has an extremely reliable, dustproof and weatherproof design. Combined with a dust and weatherproof camera body and lens, it ensures solid performance, even in harsh outdoor conditions such as rain and dust.

Simple operation

This flash unit has a simple operating system, using a rotary switch that also functions as an on/off switch. This dial offers a choice of four discharge modes: P-TTL auto flash with front-curtain sync and P-TTL auto flash with second-curtain sync, in both of which the flash's metering beam is detected by the camera's light sensor to precisely control the light intensity for correct exposure. Manual full and 1/4 power flash is also available.

Bounce flash function up to 135 degree tilt angle

The flash head can be set vertically at 10 different angles (-10, 0, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 and 135 degrees) for indirect flash operation. By bouncing the flash discharge off the ceiling or wall when shooting indoors, the user can soften the shadow of the subject and create more natural, lifelike portraits.

Wide-angle panel

Integrated wide-angle panel that can be extended to cover an angle of view of 20 mm (in 35 mm format).
