“Quick Shift Bounce”
The innovative “Quick Shift Bounce” system allows the HVL-F43AM to orbit 90 degrees left and 
right, allowing you to maintain horizontal light distribution even when shooting vertically. In 
addition to pivoting side-to-side, the flash unit can also tilt down 8 degrees or back 150 degrees, 
ensuring customers the lighting freedom they need to capture that perfect shot.
Versatile bounce angles
Versatile bounce angles: 90° up, 90° left. This allows the flash head to be rotated while maintaining 
the set bounce angle, so you can quickly switch between horizontal and vertical format without 
changing the light angle.
Built-In Bounce sheet
The built-in bounce sheet can be used even when shooting in a vertical position without 
changing the angle of reflected light.
