About Pentax AF180FG

From capturing stunning portraits to illuminating dimly lit environments, the Pentax AF180FG P-TTL Auto Flash is an essential tool for photographers seeking versatility and precision. This compact flash unit is engineered with a robust dustproof and weather-resistant construction, ensuring reliable performance in various shooting conditions. Designed to complement Pentax Digital SLR and GRIII-series cameras, it supports the P-TTL function for precise exposure control, making it a perfect companion for both amateur and professional photographers.

The AF180FG flash unit is equipped with a user-friendly, dial-access operating system, allowing photographers to initiate flash photography swiftly. The discharge mode dial, which also functions as the ON/OFF switch, offers four distinct modes: P-TTL auto flash with leading-curtain synchronization, P-TTL auto flash with trailing-curtain synchronization, manual flash with full discharge, and manual flash with 1/4-level discharge. These modes utilize the camera's light sensor to detect preliminary emissions and accurately control the main discharge level, ensuring optimal exposure in every shot.

Enhance your creative possibilities with the bounce flash function, which allows the flash head to be adjusted vertically to 10 different angles, ranging from -10 to 135 degrees. This feature enables photographers to bounce the flash off ceilings or walls, softening shadows and producing more natural, true-to-life images, especially in portrait photography.

The Pentax AF180FG also includes a built-in wide-angle panel, capable of illuminating an angle of up to 98 degrees at close range, providing ample coverage for wide shots. Its rugged design incorporates 18 sealing elements throughout the housing, including the hot shoe, offering superior protection against dust and moisture. This makes the AF180FG a reliable choice for photographers who demand durability and performance in any environment.

Pentax AF180FG Features

  • A compact auto flash unit, featuring dustproof, weather-resistant construction and simplified operation
  • Simplified, dial-access operation
  • Bounce flash function up to a 135-degree tilt angle
