Fujifilm EF-60 Flash Specification

The Fujifilm EF-60 Flash is a compact and versatile external flash designed to enhance photographic capabilities for both amateur and professional photographers. It features a guide number of 60 at ISO 100 and 200mm, providing ample power to illuminate subjects in various lighting conditions. The flash supports TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering for Fujifilm cameras, ensuring accurate and automatic exposure adjustments. It offers a zoom range of 24-200mm, which can be extended to 16mm with the built-in wide panel, allowing for flexibility in covering wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths.

The EF-60 is equipped with wireless radio control, compatible with the Nissin Air System (NAS), enabling it to be used as a slave unit in off-camera setups, controlled via the optional Fujifilm EF-W1 Wireless Commander. Additionally, it supports optical wireless communication, allowing for seamless integration with other Fujifilm flashes in multi-flash setups. The flash head tilts from -7 to 90 degrees and rotates 180 degrees left and right, offering diverse bounce flash options to soften shadows and achieve more natural lighting effects.

Powered by four AA batteries, the EF-60 delivers rapid recycling times, ranging from 3 to 4 seconds depending on the battery type used. It also features a high-speed sync function, enabling shutter speeds higher than the camera's native sync speed, ideal for shooting in bright environments or achieving creative effects. The compact design, combined with advanced functionality and compatibility, makes the Fujifilm EF-60 a valuable tool for photographers seeking enhanced lighting control and creative flexibility.
