Customer Review

I have since about 1 year to have these flash now in use a little more power than the small built-in flash my XE2 will bear.
Normally, I use it to brighten up at close range in daylight shots, for example, small group, etc. Portrait
He makes absolutely satisfactory, even if you do not, of course, the power of a "Great" has, but that is known.
Especially in daylight situations revealed a - glaring in my eyes - Weakness If it is to go fast, you have practically already lost. Lightning sitting in hot shoe and you want to turn it on. For this you have to press the button on the top side for about 1-2 sec. Press. Just can not see in a bright environment, the flash is really switched on and loads !! The faint green LED on the top does not reveal, whether on or off completely! The same, if you want to make a few shots without flash (for example, because the camera does not operate, due to the not yet ready flash). Again button for 1-2 seconds. Press. Or better turn off the camera, then the flash also goes namely always with that which can be quite annoying. (I also pulled out the flash in my despair ever out of the shoe.) To switch you need only the camera and then turn on the flash.
A simple switch with a red LED next to (on the back) and one had a small, discreet camera with a good, handy flash, which can be practically blind use. Unfortunately, Fuji has not thought this through to the end!
Otherwise I like the ability to adjust quickly and easily using the rotary control the flash output, a great thing!
My vote is therefore ambivalent: A-quality part, but with weaknesses in the service who have some photo does not give rise, because they were using the button at the fumbling, instead of photographing. For almost all lightning conditions in the dark hands me the built-in camera flash due to the high sensitivity possible also.
Therefore, I only 3 stars.
