    Image quality 
    : Works with the face detection of compatible cameras (e.g., A7C II, A7R V, A9 III) to balance flash and ambient light for natural skin tones and precise white balance. Optimized light distribution with no edge falloff. Users appreciate: "Small but powerful, ideal for spontaneous shoots!"  
   
 
 
  
 
   
 
    Handling 
    : Ultra-compact and lightweight, it fits in your pocket and is perfect for mirrorless cameras like the A7 series. Flash parameters such as compensation and lighting conditions can be controlled directly via the camera menu for an efficient workflow.  
   
 
 
  
 
   
 
    Versatility 
    : Suitable for on- and off-camera flashes, with reliable radio control even in the presence of obstacles or bright light. The robust construction supports outdoor use, but the lack of a swivel function for vertical bounce shots is criticized.
