About this product

Product Information

The Pentax AF 540 FGZ is one powerful flash. In fact, the power in this flash leads the Pentax line of cameras and accessories. The AF 540 FGZ has a zooming flash head that tilts and swivels for bounce flash. This is critical for photo sessions where bouncing off of walls and ceilings or reflectors is done. The photographer can control the bounce and swivel activity to customize it to the lighting needs of each setting. This Pentax flash has a built-in wide-angle diffuser and a built-in catch-light panel as well, always important with portrait photography and is useful for video production as well. All of this is packaged into a compact form. At just 1.5 pounds, the clip on Pentax AF 540 FGZ flash is amazingly tiny, considering its power and robust functionality. This is the type of feature-full, yet compact and portable accessory gear that professionals photographers and hobbyists need. When paired with a Pentax autofocus SLR camera, the AF 540 FGZ automatically adjusts its angle of discharge to the lens’ focal length. The AF 540 FGZ also features a wide array of automatic flash functions. These include PTT-L auto flash, TTL auto flash, standard auto flash and a manual mode. High-speed synchronization and wireless PTT-L are features built into this Pentax flash as well. If wide angle shots are needed, photographers will appreciate the slide out wide angle panel, enough to cover a view of 20mm when using in 35mm format. The Pentax AF 540 FGZ also has a high guide number of 54. As flash intensity declines with distance, the guide number is especially critical. The higher the guide number, the better the ability of the flash to illuminate the subject with proper exposure at these longer distances. The Pentax flash has 100-degree vertical and 180-degree horizontal adjustable angles to ensure your camera has lighting to capture the shot optimally. Automatic zoom within the Pentax flash adjusts how concentrated the light needs to be to produce high-quality shots through the lens, allowing you to sync your flash to the lighting needs you may encounter. The Pentax flash has an auto sleep function as well, saving your battery life. However, some prefer to disable this auto feature, and this is easily accomplished if that is your preference. Overall, the flash draws reasonably low from battery life. Again, the functionality built within this accessory has been optimized to provide full features that work together and therein reduce battery drain. Pentax camera users are devoted to their brand. In addition, they will find that the Pentax 540 FGZ Shoe Mount Flash will not disappoint. With its versatile set of automatic and manual adjustment options, photographers are able to set lighting to meet the individual demands of most any environment. The accessory is lightweight, runs for an amazing length of time on batteries, provides all the auto functions required today to produce optimal lighting, and it has exceptional bounce as well as great tilt features. Be sure to check this one out.

    Great modern Pentax flash.

    Pentax has done a fine job the in the design of their current systems. Yes, I know they have been bought but the branded equipment is still great. The flash goes on 35mm digital or the 645D and works great. Easy in program and manual exposure.

  • Pentax AF540 FGZ Regular Flash

    Everything is OK, thank you. Pentax AF540 FGZ Regular Flash works well, it was delivered fast. P-TTL mode with pre-flash allows for more accurate flash photography. Wireless P-TTL flash is available when used with PENTAX DSLR cameras that support wireless flash operation. On-camera and wireless high speed flash sync is available in P-TTL modes. Manage flash exposure compensation through a simple control dial. Standard TTL flash is available when used with older PENTAX SLR bodies. Auto and Manual modes allow for use with non-TTL PENTAX camera bodies. The LCD display shows the effective range of the flash in P-TTL, TTL and AUTO modes. Modeling-light feature strobes the flash for one second, so the photographer can check for unwanted shadows or highlights. Includes an autofocus assist ...

  • Top of the line, dedicated flash for Pentax.

    Definitely, the best flash for my Pentax. I have the smaller version so it was very easy to pick this one up and start shooting. I like all the features of the flash. This one also came with the umbrella, bracket and defuser so it was and extra bonus.
