[25th February 2016]
Mirrorless cameras and professional compact cameras are becoming more popular than ever
before. Nissin Group proudly announces the i60A, a high power, 2.4 GHz wireless Nissin Air System
compatible compact flash. The Nissin i60A is available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Four Thirds, and Fujifilm
systems. The ground-breaking design and advanced engineering, has dramatically reduced the size and
weight (300g *1) of the flash unit. The i60A is the smallest and lightest in the high-power portable flash
market segment.
NAS (Nissin Air System) Compatibility (*5)
NAS is Nissin’s newly developed 2.4GHz radio transmission wireless flash system. Compared with the
traditional optical wireless transmitters, 2.4GHz radio transmission is less susceptible to angle and
obstacle limitations and provides coverage of up to 30 meters. (98 feet)
Nissin is famous for thinking outside the box. This includes the IDs technology in our newly developed
NAS system. Radio transmission IDs give each of the NAS compatible devices a unique identity, and can
be set to prevent misfiring in the event of signal interference on the same channel.
Group A, B, C and Channel 1 to 8 will be available to choose on the i60A flash.
The Nissin Air System is available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Four Third and Fujifilm version
60GN High power output and external power pack connectivity
Although the i60A is very compact in size, it can still deliver a high power output of 60GN (at ISO 100,
200mm zoom head position). Also, you can connect your i60A to an external power source to reduce the
flash recycle time during constant high power output.
Focal length range coverage of 24-200mm, Soft Box included in package
The zoom range can auto or manually adjusts from 24mm-200mm. The flash comes equipped with
a built-in diffuser that gives a 16mm lens coverage. A Soft box is included for the specially designed flash
head, to soften the light output and reduce shadows. The user can extend and retract the Fill-in reflector
(bounce card) even when the Soft Box is installed.
Professional flash head design
The flash head rotates horizontally 180° to right and left and tilts up 90°. This makes bounce shooting
more arbitrary, with more angles that can be used.
Selector dial and Color LCD Display panel
Combined with the Color LCD display and selector dial design, the i60A gives the user the most
convenient way to take full control of the flash.
LED Video light
Nissin i60A has a video light function, which has 9 steps of output level adjustment.
Metal hotshoe and Quick release button
The i60A has a durable metal hotshot design (not available in Sony due to limitation of the Multi Interface
Shoe design) with a quick release button. It is easy to install and reduces the chance of damage caused
by installation.
High-Speed synchronization
Supports up to 1/8,000 seconds shutter speed. (*2)
Traditional (optical) wireless TTL mode
Supports Canon E-TTL/ E-TTL II, Nikon i-TTL and Sony ADI/ P-TTL. Various slave settings offer
Flexible optical wireless flash combination. (*3)
Four size-AA batteries
The i60A operates on 4 AA batteries. This reduces the frequency of changing the batteries and lessens
the recycling time.
