Minolta 5600HS - hot-shoe clip-on flash

Program Flash 5600HS is a high-powered and functional external flash unit designed for Konica Minolta's AF SLRs. This new model provides a remarkable flash output performance in a compact body, highly reliable exposure precision, versatile remote flash photography, and superior operation that supports creative flash photography. Flash coverage is available from 24mm to 85mm focal lengths, and further extends to the 17mm focal length with a built-in wide-angle adapter. The 5600HS assures highly reliable metering accuracy with the ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering in combination with Konica Minolta's new lenses with distance encoder and the Dynax 7. It also supports versatile remote flash photography with wireless/remote high-speed sync when the 5600HS is used as an off-camera flash of the Dynax 7. The AF illuminator covers the Dynax 7's 9-point sensors in the wide focus area. Furthermore, the flash head tilts 10 degrees downward for close-up photography.

Other high-performance features include high-speed sync, manual flash control, multiple flash, wireless/remote off-camera flash, ratio flash, and modeling flash. The five custom functions let the photographers customize operation to their specific needs. Konica Minolta is assured that the Program Flash 5600HS will expand the horizon of flash photography.
