Details On New Pentax AF200FG Auto Flash

Pentax has released details on its new AF200FG Auto Flash, first announced back in February 2007. The compact 6.8-ounce unit has a range of 2.3-11.8 feet at ISO 100 and f/5.6. It offers TTL and manual functions, but does not provide bounce-flash capabilities due to its design. The unit flashes with a discharge angle of 70 degrees horizontally and 53 degrees vertically. Its flip-down diffuser widens the angles to 78 and 60 degrees, respectively.

Features available via the AF200FG's simple control dial include flash exposure compensation and front-curtain sync. Its P-TTL system works with the camera's multi-pattern metering system to set flash intensity. Pentax rates the AF200FG's recycle time between flashes at approximately 4 seconds.

The AF200FG Auto Flash will be available in August 2007 for $149.95.
