Press text:

Elinchrom brings ELB 500 TTL compatibility for Sony and Olympus users with Fujifilm to shortly follow.

Canon®, Nikon®, Sony®, Olympus® and Panasonic® users can now have it all. All existing Elinchrom HS Transmitters can be updated to the Transmitter PRO version, which includes TTL functionality for the ELB 500 TTL.

Right after Nikon and Canon, Hi-Sync, HSS and TTL are now available for Sony and Olympus users too.

TTL, HSS or Hi-Sync. All features a photographer may need are now compiled in one single transmitter.

Using an ELB 1200 with Hi-Sync synchronisation or an ELB 500 TTL with HSS, the Transmitter PRO will detect automatically in which mode to switch. Even better, using an ELB 1200 with a Hi-Sync head along with a ELB 500 TTL in the same setup is possible (manual mode). Hi-Sync and HSS just work seamlessly.

Compatibility for all with the ELB 500 TTL.

The ELB 500 TTL is the ideal tool for photographers who find themselves in time sensitive shooting environments where the inherent speed of TTL lets them capture images at the speed of life or for those who simply prefer the convenience of TTL.

The “Manual Lock” functionality allows photographers to get an initial “lock” on their exposure in TTL and then switch to manual mode to further adjust their exposure as they need or to explore different creative effects.

A new version (2.2) for Canon and Nikon also brings more features, stability and support for third part devices such as Rotolight.

These features are built-in right from the start on versions 2.1 for Sony and Olympus.

Sony has a press conference on August 30 to announce new XPERIA phones…with the stunning 48MP Quad Bayer array?

Share

On August 30 Sony will announce their new XPeria phones. While this is not a news directly related to the Alpha system it will be interesting to see if those new phones will use the new Sony 48 megapixel sensor. GSMarena spotted some hints that indeed that will be the case!

What’s really intriguing about that sensor is that it has a “Qaud Bayer array”. You can switch to 12 megapixel when you need the clean High ISO performance and you can switch back to the full 4(MP resolution when you need to get detailed images. I can seee this feature being implemented on a future Alpha cameras. Imagine having a sort of A9R camera that could give you 96 Megapixel resolution and if needed the High ISO performance of a 24 megapixel camera. Would love to get that!

The full technical 48MP specs and presentation can be read here.
