The Flashpoint Zoom R2 TTL Flash for Olympus and Panasonic represents a significant breakthrough in speedlight technology with the introduction of full R2 Remote TTL and manual power connectivity and interaction with all Olympus and Panasonic strobe functions. From standard TTL, to Exposure Compensation (FEC), FV Lock, High Speed Sync, and an automatically zooming flashhead, all the way to complete connectivity with other Flashpoint R2 flashes, group control, Slave and Master options, and advanced flash functions, the Zoom flash takes you as far as you want to go.
The R2 TTL Wireless Flash System is the advanced 2.4GHz radio that adds camera TTL dedicated functions to your multi flash experience. Easy to use buttons command a full range of options like reliable channel triggering, group mode selectivity, and HSS, as well as powerful signal strength and exceptional stability in your selected camera flash language. The LCD panel clearly displays the status of all remote R2 compliant strobes so you always have precise control of grouped lighting setups. R2 wireless communication gives speed of light response to on or off camera R2 family devices for a spectacular advantage on any shoot in any environment.
All the R2 enabled units communicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Zoom Li-on and AA powered Zoom speedlights, the Streaklight 360 barebulb strobes (each available in Nikon, Canon, Olympus/Panasonic. Fujifilm and Sony TTL as well as manu al), and the portable 600ws XPLOR600 monolights (available in TTL and manual). Other strobes can be fired simultaneously by being attached to the R2 Radio Remote Receiver FPRRR2R*, and older R1 Streaklight and Zoom Li-on units can be controlled and triggered using the bridge Receiver for Non-R2 Streaklights/Zoom Li-ons.
The R2 system provides a full proprietary Group style interface allowing up to 5 Groups to be individually set to either TTL, Manual, or Off and most importantly, TTL and Manual Groups can be conveniently mixed together as needed. The battery powered units provide TTL, HSS (High Speed Sync) and even a HSS pre-sync timing adjustment for precision synchronization. PC cord sync input ports are provided for external device remote sync without control.
Besides Olympus and Panasonic TTL and manual control, there are 2 optical slave modes, and a stroboscopic mode as well. The metal shoe features a locking pin, so even if the foot is not tightened properly it will not accidentally fall off of the camera or mount. Remote power control using a Flashpoint R2 System Transmitter or R2 Family flash allows you to view and change your flash output as you shoot as well as trigger the flash and adjust other functions from more than 150 feet away, for extreme off camera work.
The simple layout and familiar controls make using this flash intuitive. The flashhead rotates 180 degrees in any direction and tilts over 90 degrees for any type of bounce or modifier use. The head zooms automatically or manually from 24-200mm for use with full frame cameras or from 14-133mm for the APS format, to ensure the necessary coverage without wasted spill. The built-in pull out wide angle diffuser spreads light evenly to 14/10mm for use with lenses wider than 24mm.
This high powered, speedy recycling, compact and durable AA battery powered TTL flash is sure to become a pivotal part of your photography equipment lineup.
