Designed Specifically for Sony Cameras
The FJ80-SE S is built specifically for Sony cameras, ensuring full compatibility with Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe. This dedicated design enables reliable TTL metering, High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000s, and stable communication between camera and flash, without the compromises often associated with universal mounts.
For Sony shooters, this means predictable exposure, faster setup, and complete confidence when working in dynamic shooting environments.
Built-In Flash and Wireless Transmitter
Thanks to its integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver, the FJ80-SE S can be used on-camera as both a speedlight and a wireless transmitter. It can directly control compatible Westcott FJ lights including the FJ800, FJ400, FJ200, and other FJ80 units. When used off-camera, it functions as a client flash and can be triggered by an on-camera FJ80, FJ-X2, or FJ-X3 trigger.
Consistent Colour and Reliable Output
The FJ80-SE S maintains a stable 6500K colour temperature across its entire 9-stop output range, adjustable in precise 0.1 or 1-stop increments. This ensures consistent colour throughout a shoot, even when power levels change. A colour correction gel and adapter ring are included for use in 5500K environments, making it easier to match ambient light or studio setups.
Battery Performance and Thermal Protection
The removable 2500mAh lithium-ion battery delivers over 550 full-power flashes per charge and fully recharges in under three hours. Fast recycling from 0.05 to 1.8 seconds keeps up with demanding shoots, while built-in self-monitoring heat protection helps ensure safe operation and long-term reliability. An energy-efficient LED modelling lamp provides auto-adjust and independent output control.
Articulating Head and Mounting Options
The flash head offers 360-degree horizontal rotation and 90-degree vertical tilt, giving you full control over light direction. It can be used on-camera, mounted off-camera on a light stand, or placed free-standing using the included shoe stand. The stand features a standard 1/4-20 female thread for quick mounting to most light stands without additional adapters. A secure twist-lock mount allows fast attachment of compatible light modifiers.
