This uses Sony’s super-accurate native TTL language, which is much more accurate than mimic TTL. Sony TTL is supported with both Smart Control and Smart Control Macro Mode. Smart Control Mode is best used for general photography, while Smart Control Macro mode tailors the flash output specifically for close-up macro shooting, where other TTL systems tend to struggle.

Learning mode makes it easy to adapt cameras that use a fill-flash or pre-flash system to trigger the Mini Flash. Simple, single-flash manual flash triggering systems that don’t require pre-flash cancellation can now skip the initial learning mode step. Learning mode only needs to be set once, since the Mini Flash 3 will remember the setting until it is changed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic TTL For\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSony\u003c\/em\u003e, Olympus \u0026amp; OM System Cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless Remote Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Speed Sync\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-In 1000 Lumen Focus Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest Mode \u0026amp; Beacon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast Recycle Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21700 Battery for Long Run Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual Control For All Cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToggle Learning Mode Based on Triggering Needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble O-Ring Seal For Reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e1000 LUMEN BUILT-IN FOCUS LIGHT\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith powerful 1000-lumen LED focus lights built-in, there’s no need for a separate focus light to manage on your rig.

Even in bright, shallow conditions, it is super easy to see the target light from the snoot in the same exact shape and position as the flash. With no guessing on where the flash will fire, the Mini Flash 3 makes it as easy as can be to get perfect snooted shots right out of the box. The LED lights will run up to 90 minutes on a full 21700 battery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTHE EASIEST TO USE MACRO STROBE + SNOOT COMBINATION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing a strobe with a snoot was once really difficult.
