Product Description

Opteka has consistently offered the highest level of flash performance in the industry. Turning into the new century, Opteka has developed a specialized line of flashes for digital cameras with a flash shoe.

The Opteka FL50AF-M is fully dedicated to ensure that the correct amount of light is provided, when used with digital cameras that have TTL metering. When the camera is set to ISO100 the f/2 auto setting automatically adjusts the exposure for subjects up to 11 meters away, and the f/4 setting works at distances of up to 5.5 meters.

Guide Number of 22 (ISO 100/m) with Range Up To 10m
The flash built into your digital camera will have a maximum range of about three meters. Pictures taken at distances further than this can be disappointingly dark. The Opteka FL50AF-M is much more powerful, allowing pictures to be taken at distances of up to 10 meters with certain digital cameras. Use the Opteka FL50AF-M and your pictures of the school play, parties in the local hall or evening barbecues will come to life! Has an indicator in the camera's viewfinder illuminates when the Opteka FL50AF-M is fully charged and ready to use.

The Opteka FL50AF-M will automatically set the camera's correct flash synchronization speed when it's mounted on the camera, plugged in and switched on.

Direct flash can sometimes be harsh and create ugly shadows behind your subject. By tilting the flashgun's head, you can bounce the flash off a ceiling or wall to create softer lighting effects. The Opteka FL50AF-M has five positions to choose from.

The Opteka FL50AF-M is powered by just two AA 1.5 Volt Batteries. A Fresh pair provides enough power for up to 100 Flashes, making the flashgun very economical to use.

Auto Detects and Operates with TTL feature for SLR digital, digital, and film cameras.

This review is from: Opteka FL-50AF E-TTL II Dedicated Flash Nikon D700, D300, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70, D60, D50, D40x, & D40 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I tried mine on a Nikon P6000 with TTI. The camera accepts the flash but, the flash washes out every shot. I looked to adjsut it and spent over a day with the book on the camera. The flash didn't have much except for a sheet of paper. 47th Street photo told me that they would credit my account for the amount but that they didn't want the flash back as, it is a discontinued item.
