This is the combined product: HVL-F60M Flash video light. Sony also has a separate video-only light, which together with the F58AM will cost an additional $100 over the $600 pricetag on the F60M...

I don't believe it can be as it is a "flash burst" unit. I would also think you would have a problem finding a video shoe it would fit.

No, there is another model that does that but don't seem able to find it. Check out Sony's website.

No. I believe you will need special light for video, their latest flash has video lighting capabilities.

Not unless you are doing some short, stroposcopic videos. This flash only puts out measured bursts of light, not a steady stream suitable for video use.

Yes. On top of the camcorder there is a small lid; open it and you will find a hot shoe where you will be able to connect the external light.

It would work with cool, florescent lights, but it's much better with studio flash.

The light does not flash it is a constant light source so there is no need to use it with a specific camera. You could even use this with a video camera. It does holds a good charge and very bright.

Yes, but you have to send the unit to China, so it costs more for shipping than to just buy a new one. Also, I do not recommend this flash. The light quality is very poor, with a slow, sloppy fall off and hot center. While I love other products from this company, this one is a dud.

it will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

don't use flash if I can help it, I like available light when I can. Olympus lights are a little high.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

No, I do not know how to use as a strobe I only use as light. Could you please show me how to use as a strobe?

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.

You'll have to get a flash mount for that... out of the box is not possible...

It will work as flash as well as continuous light mode. Fairly good for the price!

I don't recommend this kind light for music video. because being too hot . If the work space is small you can use LED light.

Yes. But the flash has a speed control and can rotates in different colors! Its more eye catching.
