POWERFUL, NEW SIGMA EF-610 DG SUPER FLASH OFFERS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ADVANCED FEATURES FOR POPULAR DSLR CAMERAS

TORONTO, ON., February 14, 2011 – Gentec International is pleased to announce the launch of Sigma’s new EF-610 DG SUPER electronic flash. This powerful flash features a Guide Number of 61 and is designed to work with the latest TTL auto exposure systems of all popular digital and film SLR cameras.

The autozoom function of the EF-610 DG SUPER automatically sets the optimum illumination angle in accordance with the lens’ focal length in a range from 24mm to 105mm. When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover an angle of 17mm. For bounce flash, the head can be tilted up 90 degrees, to the left 180 degrees, or to the right 90 degrees. It can also be tilted down 7 degrees, allowing ease of use for close-up photography.

Among the advanced features of the EF-610 DG SUPER is a modeling flash function, multi-pulse flash, TTL wireless flash, FP (high speed) flash, rear-curtain synchro flash, and manual flash mode, which allows the photographer to control the flash power level by up to eight stops. The Auto Power-Off function automatically shuts off the LCD panel to help save battery power.

The Sigma EF-610 DG SUPER flash has a suggested retail price of $379.99 and will be available for Canon, Nikon, and Pentax in March; models for Sony and Sigma cameras will also be available at a later date.
