Finally, the i40 also has a front led lamp which can be useful for video mode. You can change the light intensity with the flash compensation dial on the rear. However, I find it way to weak for professional use. Conclusion This bit's nice and simple here are a selection of images taken with various Fuji X series cameras all sporting the Nissin i40 flash, overall it's a great piece of kit and really fun and easy to use. I've just completed a wedding using this flash and it was great, used mostly in manual in place of my usual Yongnuo's the lighter option is much better, images to come soon. Other functions include high-speed synchronization (supporting up to 1/8,000 seconds shutter speed), wireless TTL mode and a simple operation panel with two selector dials controls: Function dial and a Power dial, making it a perfect flash for beginners.

Kenro, the official UK distributors of Nissin Flash Guns, has announced the Nissin i40 - 'love mini' compact flash gun that also has a built-in video light. The Nissin i40 is sized appropriately for micro 4/3 cameras. It has a lot of power for its size and a full set of features. Nissin i40 flashes are available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and Olympus/Panasonic Four-Thirds camera systems.The three flashes allow you to shoot in various modes including Auto, Manual and TTL. The last option is available for all the brand versions and their respective TTL modes. I tested the M400 and i60A Fuji versions and found them consistent overall when used on the X-T20 and X-T2. My i40 works very well in TTL on Olympus and Panasonic cameras. Among the Sync options, we find front and rear curtain as well as Slow sync. E-M1, 1/100, f/ 2.8, ISO 800 – Lumix G 35-100mm f2.8 and i40 As the popularity of compact interchangeable lens camera systems has grown over the years, many people have started looking for smaller accessories to complement their gear – particularly flash units. After all, mounting a large and heavy flash onto a small camera such as the Fujifilm X-T20 or Olympus OM-D E-M5 II isn’t particularly comfortable. For this reason, many manufacturers have started releasing speed lights that are smaller and lighter but don’t compromise on performance. To use HSS on Nikon and Fujifilm cameras you must activate HSS (FP) from the camera's flash menu. You do not need to change any other Air 1 or flash settings. When you slide up the refelectioncard you’ll find you a summary showing the different colours the power LED turns when you use the manual zooming of the head. You’ll only need manual zooming when using the wireless option where you can’t use the wireless iTTL function or when you use a vintage lens that doesn’t send focal length information to your camera. If you have the unit attached to your camera with a native lens it can use the iTTL information to automatically zoom the head to match the setting you’ve chosen on your lens. With my Panasonic GX7, I found I could reliably trigger the flash even outdoors, even with the built-in flash pointed away from the Nissin. The built-in flash fires, so you must bounce it or shield it if you don’t want it to contribute to the lighting.

SD - Slave Digital (synchronizes to the pre-flash system. The master flash is to be set at TTL (E-TTL for Canon, i-TTL for Nikon and ADI/P-TTL for Sony) mode. The Metz is the best performer: it slows the recycle time down to around 8-10s rather than becoming inactive for extended periods. The two Nissins maintain a faster recycling time between 2 and 4s but then stop to cool down for longer (20s to 2min). The i40 stops for even longer than that (more than 3 minutes). To use HSS on Nikon, and Fujifilm cameras you must activate HSS from the camera's flash menu. You do not need to change any other Air 10s or flash settings.

The Nissin i40 is amazingly powerful and full-featured for such a compact and lightweight flashgun

Sd, slave digital, the flash reacts to other flash units while ignoring the pre-flash most digital cameras use. The i40 can use High Speed Sync, up to 1/8000 th of a second. This means you can use the i40 when shooting fast shutter speeds, for instance when using it for filling in a shot in bright sunlight. The maximum standard flash sync depends on your camera. My A7 supports sync up to 1/250 th of a second. The flash vignettes noticeably, which the wide-angle diffuser eliminates. But at 42mm, you lose a whopping 2 stops of light! (There would be less light loss at wider focal lengths, of course.) Master and Slave is available on select Fuji cameras but you need to update the M400’s firmware to version 1.2

If you are interested in off-camera flash and want something more powerful, the Nissin i60A is the best choice. It has a higher Guide Number, is easy to use and features radio transmission with TTL compatibility. Granted, with the optional Air1 trigger it becomes the most expensive option out of the three, but it is worth the investment especially if you are a Fuji user since remote control with the built-in flash is more limited than on other systems. X-T20, 1/180, f/4.5, ISO 200 – XF 50mm f2, i60A with Air 1 Supports high speed synch. Supports up to 1/8000th second shutter speed. Supports Canon E-TTL/E-TTL 11, Nikon i-TTL and Sony ADI/P-TTL. Various slave-settings offer flexible wireless flash combination. It’s Slave only for micro four thirds cameras. Servo mode without pre-flash doesn’t work on Panasonic models. Nissin advertises that the recycle time is 4 seconds or less. I can’t measure very precisely but it seemed right at 4 seconds on manual at full power with both alkaline and NiMH batteries.

Main Specs

Guide no.: GN40 at 105mm (53mm, zoom head position) and GN27 at 35mm (18mm, zoom head position) – ISO 100

Concerning battery life, if I look at the official specs, the Metz is the winner once again with 320 flashes vs 200 on the i40 and 220 on the i60A. Now remember that these numbers can vary depending on the type of battery used. This kind of fast recycle time tempts you to just bang away, but be aware that these small units heat up fast. The i40 has a protection circuit that shuts it down if it overheats. Nissin says it will shut down for 15 minutes after 20-30 rapid-fire flashes. I got 17 rapid-fire full-power flashes before the ready light began to flash red and wouldn’t continue. It took about 2 minutes before I could shoot again. At a more sedate pace of a shot every 20 seconds or so, the protection circuit never interrupted my shooting. I'm posting this to the micro four-thirds thread because there's a lot of interest here in small flashes that go well with m4/3 gear. Nissin has gone for a very minimalist control scheme. There are only three controls: the on/off switch and two dials. The left dial sets the shooting mode: automatic, manual, TTL, optical slave, and wireless. It also controls a low-power video light by lighting a LED panel on the front, below the flash tube. The i40 comes with a huge carrying case, about the size of a Hasselblad body, and a carabiner to carry it on your belt or clipped to the outside of your camera bag. It holds the flash, a slip-on diffuser like a mini Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce, and a table mount with a 1/4x20 tripod thread. I can’t imaging using that huge case with the dainty i40, but it’s there if you want it. The table mount is useful but will stay in the studio while the flash itself goes roaming.However a more powerful flash can have collateral benefits. Depending on the distance from the subject, it can give you the same result by using less power which means it keeps a faster recycling rate. Placing your flash at a longer distance can help to diffuse the light better too. Finally you have more light output to work with when bouncing the light off a reflector or a wall. The LED light can also be used as an AF Beam light when autofocusing. You need to activate the AF illuminator in the camera’s menu and it will automatically use the flash’s LED rather than the built-in red light you see on most cameras. Controlling the unit is done by combining the two control dials. The smaller primary wheel is used to switch operation modes (like iTTL or Manual). The secondary wheel controls the power settings. In iTTL mode the power is adjusted in steps from -2.0 to +2.0. If you put the unit in Manual mode you control the output power in steps from 1/1 to 1/256 th.
