Register settings to suit a specific shooting condition in advance, so that they can be activated quickly when required FP Flash (High-Speed Flash Sync) Freeing Photographers from Worrying about Shutter Speed   With cameras equipped with a focal plane shutter, when the shutter speed is high, the first and second shutter curtains move across at the same time, making the exposure through a narrow vertical slit between them. Because of this, light from a conventional flash can only reach a small section of the sensor.This is why a slower shutter speed must be used in flash photography, with the range of available shutter speeds severely limited. EF-X500 supports the FP mode (high-speed flash sync), in which the flash outputs continuous light while the first and second curtains travel across the sensor, thereby enabling flash photography at any shutter speed. When shooting with a near-maximum aperture to create beautiful bokeh, the shutter speed tends to go higher. This flash mode frees photographers from having to be conscious about shutter speed limitations and instead allows them to focus on shooting.  Wireless Multi-Flash TTL Freely Controlling Light on Subject and Background to Enable Creative Photography  EF-X500 can be used in multi-flash setup to freely control light on a subject and background for a creative result. TTL lighting control is available with single flash and also in the multi-flash setup, so that you can start shooting without having to make cumbersome adjustments to light output. Multiple flashes can be controlled in up to three groups, each of which can be set up to have different light output, allowing you to fine-tune the space of light. As the light output can also be adjusted from the camera, you don't need to set it down for lighting control. This is the First Fujifilm Flash that is Dust-Resistant and Water-Resistant. Use it with the Weather-Sealed X Series Cameras to Broaden your Photographic Fields. Dust-resistant and water-resistant capabilities expanding the scope of photographic fields when used with X Series cameras. Innovative Design with low Center of Gravity Creating a Perfect Harmony with the Lightweight and Compact X Series cameras  The front side of EF-X500's main body is applied with leather texture to compliment the design of the X Series cameras. It is designed with low center of gravity to maintain ease of operation when mounted on the X Series cameras, known for their lightweight and compact bodies.

Very pleased with condition and all paperwork and accessories included as boxed at the factory.  Unfortunately, the flash does not respond to exposure adjustments made on the flash or by way of the camera control panel.  After 47 years in the photography industry, I will find work-arounds, but I would rather not have to.

Almost as good as it looks

great flash that works seamslessly with my XH1

great Flash

This is the best flash I have ever owned, and I have owned flashes from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Minolta, Olympus, Sunpak, Metz, Nissin and Vivitar over the past several decades. It's also the best flash system--even better than Nikon's famous system which I thought better back in the film days. (Olympus' flash system is very good too, probably second to Fujifilm). The controls are easy and intuitive, the design is excellent, and the build quality is over-the-top like everything Fujifilm makes.

Next I'm hoping that Fujfilm releases a radio-trigger version of this, and perhaps even compatible with Elinchrom transmitters--I can dream can't I? To make up for the lack of this feature, I'm currently using the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Plus Set which will fire every EF-X500 that you attach an Elinchrom Skyport receiver to. Plus, you can also fire your Elinchrom strobes simultaneously.


Finally, if Fujifilm would release a mini version of this flash with the exact same functions for the smaller X-Cameras, it would be fantastic. Highly Recommended.

Best Flash I Have Ever Owned

I found trying to jerry rig a flash and make it work didnt cut it, bought this Fuji and have never looked back. Dont hesitate if you need a full featured flash and pick up the power pack along with it, makes things very easy.

A must have with my Fuji XT-2

I spoke with Fujifilm reps in New York, and they said this flash will ship mid-November, fyi. I'm really looking forward to trying Fujifilm's first serious flash!
