Product Information

Full details

The Nissin i60A flashgun is a powerful yet compact lighting solution designed for Sony compact system camera users seeking enhanced creative control. Its key benefit is the combination of a high guide number (60m) and versatile zoom head within a pocket-sized form factor, offering professional-level lighting on the go. A caveat to note is its voltage specification, which is for Japanese markets (90-110 V) and may require a voltage transformer for use elsewhere.

FAQs

What is the guide number of the Nissin i60A?

The Nissin i60A has a guide number of 60 meters at ISO 100, measured at the 200mm zoom position.

What focal lengths does the zoom head cover?

The zoom head covers a range from 24mm to 200mm. It can also cover 16mm with the built-in wide-angle diffusion panel.

What type of batteries does it use?

It uses 4 AA batteries.

Can this flash be used off-camera?

Yes, the i60A features wireless slave TTL functionality and can be controlled by a Nissin Air 1 commander unit or other compatible Nissin flash units.

What is the maximum number of flashes it can provide on a full charge?

With 4 AA batteries, it can provide approximately 220 full power bursts.

Does this flash work with Canon or Nikon cameras?

This specific model (i60A - Sony) is designed for Sony cameras with ADI/P-TTL compatibility. Nissin offers other versions of the i60A for Canon and Nikon cameras.

What is the recycling time?

The approximate recycling time is 5.5 seconds at full power.

Do I need a voltage transformer?

The flash is specified for Japanese voltage (90-110 V). If you are in a region with different voltage standards (e.g., 220-240 V), you will likely need a voltage transformer and/or plug adapter.

Troubleshooting

Flash unit does not fire.

Check that the flash is securely attached to the camera's hot shoe. Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Verify the flash unit is powered on and not in standby mode. Confirm the camera is in a shooting mode that allows flash.

Flash recycles slowly.

Batteries may be low on charge. Replace with fresh AA batteries. For faster recycling, consider using an external battery pack connected to the power socket.

Exposure is too dark or too bright.

Adjust the flash exposure compensation on the camera or the flash unit itself (if applicable). Ensure the flash zoom head is set to match the lens focal length. If using manual mode, check the power output setting.

Wireless function not working.

Ensure the flash unit and commander unit (if used) are set to the same channel and group. Check that both units are powered on and within range. Verify batteries in both units are fresh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your Sony camera's hot shoe is clean.
Slide the Nissin i60A onto the camera's hot shoe until it clicks securely.

Compatibility:

This specific model is designed for Sony cameras utilizing ADI/P-TTL flash systems. Always confirm compatibility with your specific Sony camera model before purchase. Note that the voltage is for Japanese specifications (90-110 V); a voltage transformer and/or plug adapter may be required for use in regions with different voltage standards (e.g., 220-240 V).

Care:

Avoid exposing the flashgun to extreme temperatures or moisture.
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Remove batteries when storing the flashgun for extended periods to prevent leakage.
