Rent NowThe Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 TTL is a compact on-camera speedlight designed for Sony cameras, offering photographers TTL automatic flash exposure paired with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery system, sold by Adorama as part of its Flashpoint brand lineup. It’s built for photographers who want a versatile, reliable on-camera flash with fast recycle times and wireless capability, without needing to purchase disposable AA batteries.
The flash offers TTL (through-the-lens) automatic flash metering when paired with compatible Sony camera bodies, allowing the camera and flash to communicate for automated exposure calculations, along with full manual control for photographers who want precise, direct control over flash output. A zoom head automatically adjusts the flash’s beam angle to match the attached lens’s focal length, concentrating light output appropriately whether shooting wide-angle or telephoto, and can also be manually adjusted for creative control over light spread.
Power comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery system, distinguishing it from many speedlights that rely on disposable or rechargeable AA batteries, offering faster recycle times and a greater number of full-power flashes per charge. The flash includes a built-in 2.4GHz wireless receiver, allowing it to function as both an on-camera flash and a wirelessly triggered off-camera flash when paired with a compatible trigger or another wireless-enabled flash acting as a commander, extending its usefulness into more advanced multi-light setups.
Additional functionality typically includes high-speed sync, enabling flash synchronization at shutter speeds beyond the camera’s standard sync speed for balancing flash output against bright ambient light, along with second-curtain sync and flash exposure compensation for fine-tuning exposure results. A tilting and rotating flash head allows for bounce flash technique, directing light off ceilings or walls for softer, more flattering illumination compared to direct flash.
Build quality centers on a compact, lightweight housing designed to minimize added bulk when mounted to a Sony camera body, with an LCD screen on the rear of the flash for adjusting power levels, groups, channels, and other settings. As a Sony-specific version, the flash is designed to integrate with Sony’s TTL flash metering system and Multi Interface Shoe, so photographers should confirm compatibility with their specific Sony camera model before use.
