## Description

A market leading 61m guide number illuminates subjects at distance unattainable by other branded flashgunsVarious different modes allow the flash to be either fully automatic or completely manual in operationEF-610 DG SuperProduced in their legendary Aizu facility in Japan, Sigma presents their EF-610 DG Super electronicflashgun. Building on Sigma’s 50 years of innovation and heritage in the photographic industry, the EF-610 DG Super is a versatile and high performance flash gun, which boasts a market leading guide number of 61m. The DG Super packs an advance set of features which work to create accurate, consistent and precision lit images. Attaching via a traditional hot shoe, it is compatible with a wide range of modern DSLR cameras, making it a fantastic add on flashgun for any budding photographer.Flash by designThe primary design feature of the DG Super is its 61 power guide number. With a maximum range of 61m, it is in a league of its own and capable of illuminating subjects at a distance unattainable by other brand units. With power saving in mind, the DG Super incorporates an environmental power-off feature which automatically switches the flash off when it is not used for a certain period of time. Simply depress the shutter button and the flash instantly powers on again.Sigma have also re-engineered the flash head design by greatly increasing its flexibility. It can now be tilted up by as much as 90 degrees, down by 7 degrees, swivelled left by 180 degrees and right by a further 90 degrees. The flexibility allows users to maximise light bouncing techniques in order to avoid over exposure. An inbuilt catch light panel can be easily extended over the flash, greatly softening the resulting illumination. When the catch light panel is used in conjunction with the bounce mode, a signature “sparkle” can be created in the eyes of a subject. As found with all Sigma products, the DG Super has been manufactured in Japan to the highest quality finish, ensuring it performs optimally throughout its working life.An ultra flexible flash head allows for the use of bounce photographyModes with multiplicityIn order to accommodate the many wide ranging types of photography, the DG Super incorporates several modes, each designed with a different user in mind. Through The Lens (TTL) auto mode automatically configures the flashgun’s settings in order to create the optimal level of exposure to suit the specification of camera with which it is used.Rear-Curtain Synchro mode triggers the flash mechanism just before the rear-curtain of the camera shutter closes. In doing so, it helps to create more natural looking motion by showing blurred trails behind a subject as opposed to in front. Fast Pace (FP) mode reconfigures the flashgun to work in unison with fast camera shutter speeds. Flash photography is not normally viable at high shutter speeds but thanks to this setting, optimal illumination can be achieved even in fast pace circumstances.Finally, a fully manual mode allows, perhaps, a more discerning user to completely customise the various settings of the flashgun. In manual mode, the flash power level for example, can be increased or decreased to best suit the shooting situation.Rear Curtain Syncro mode recreates more natural looking motion within an imageFunctions with functionalityThe DG Super has various inbuilt functions which assist a photographer in achieving the desired levels of illumination. Prior to any photograph being taken, a modelling flash function allows a user to preview the results of their current flash settings. In doing so, areas of intense reflection and shadow can be quickly identified and corrected prior to the formal shoot. An autozoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle of the flashgun in line with a camera’s focal length. This function can work with a maximum range of focal lengths from 24mm up to 105mm and can also include 17mm when the built in wide panel is used. An inbuilt AF auxiliary light allows a user to accurately autofocus a camera even in low light conditions where auto-focussing is normally impossible. The autozoom automatically sets the illumination angle of the flashgun in line with a cameras focal lengthNo wiresUnique to the DG Super, the TTL mode can also be used wirelessly. The flashgun head contains sensors that can automatically detect and configure settings simply by sensing the flash exposure from another unit. This function combined with the ability to operate as a slave flash, means that the DG Super can be used as a fully autonomous illumination source. When using as a slave flash unit, the DG Super can operate in two different ways. Firstly as a designated slave flash where two or more units can be preset to fire with a delay or simultaneously. Secondly, as a normal slave flash where the DG Super simply reacts to another master unit including a camera’s built in flash.A flashgun most applicable forWith a wide ranging number of functions and features, the Sigma DG Super flashgun has a wide ranging appeal to photographers of all different skill levels. The various automated features such as the TTL and autozoom can accommodate entry level photographers but at the same time suffice the more stringent requirements of expert users. The various wireless features mean that the DG Super can be used as a standalone studio flash. Thanks to a GN61, the DG Super incorporates the power required to be effective outdoors but also performs equally well indoors thanks to features such as the flexible neck. Easy to use and packed with functionality.....the Sigma DG Super is a great performance all round flashgun that can be used by all.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sigma's current flagship flashgun is very capable
*by T***R on 26 November 2011*

I've used this gun for nearly a year now and used it on several major shoots, where I was the principle photographer and it's always inspired confidence and produced clean, well-lit pictures.Being semi-pro, a long-term SB600 (Nikon) speedlight user on full-frame Nikon D700, I've been needing a supplement to/replacement for the 600 as it is ageing and comparatively underpowered. Fine for interiors; outdoors it is lacking, its GN of 32 being about one-third less than this Sigma. I needed a decent gun for night-time Carnivals, especially when shooting with wideangle lenses.I did try Nikon's flagship SB900 but it was faulty and was both unwieldy and complicated to access the many modes, with its programs and menus. I even considered a S/H SB800 but they still command prices quite a bit more than I paid for this gun (similar to its RRP, in fact). The SB700 wasn't widely available enough to be a contender, at the time.FEATURES - A couple of features from the 900 that I liked do feature on this Sigma - a flip down white card that adds a catchlight to the subject's eyes and flexible bouncing capabilities - 180 degrees (behind) for instance. All the 'normal' features considered standard on a quality gun (LCD backlit screen, i-TTL, Rear curtain sync, manual overriding of exposure in 1/3 stops, wideangle diffuser to 17mm, stand, carry case - with separate pouch inside for set of batteries) are all included (plus possibly a few that aren't so important to me).In basic modes, it's as easy to use as the SB600 though a downside is that screen goes entirely blank when the gun is resting whereas I'd expect at least something to show it was still "on". Engaging extra functions and features, such as overriding output takes some button pressing, but no menus to navigate and all that.THE GUN - The gun itself is Japanese made and is barely heavier than the 600, with batteries and has that soft-touch feel that Sigma use quite a lot. It is longer and a little bigger but not ungainly so. The battery flap opens very differently to that of the Nikon - I'm not looking forward to opening it in the pitch dark - and the poor display of the orientation of the batteries is a real annoyance, meaning you have to use another light source just to see (the Nikon uses white painted symbols that help, the Sigma uses barely raised black ones on the flap and are recessed to being almost in the chamber itself. I haven't yet got used to this nuisance.IN PRACTICAL USE - One area where there is real advantage is that there are more infrared sensors for AF in the Sigma than in the SB600 and so AF in darkness is possible, (& correctly exposed photos) whereas this hardly ever worked with the 600. When photographing a choir at night in the grounds of a ruined abbey recently, with the wideangle diffuser in place and a 24mm lens, I got perfect intensity to not burn out their white robes but enough spread to fill in on the ruins. I used the backlit mode, minus 2/3rds of a stop and employed 'shadows' in Photoshop CS to get a very nice and impressive shot, that belied its (mostly, some ambient) sole light source. The Nikon would have struggled with this scenario, by being underpowered and probably would have swamped the foreground, burning it out and also underexposing the background. Another plus was that after some 40 shots outside and another 60 inside straight after, the set of Uniross rechargeables still had quite a bit of juice left in them, so the gun seems efficient.BUILD - Build quality and quality control could be of an issue, though no worries so far. I already feel at home with and it has become my main gun, though I'm keeping the SB 600 as spare and for when I need a second one for studio use etc. I'm happy to give this Sigma 4 and 3/4 stars, the minus bit being for the slightly small buttons and the lack of a 'ready' light and the poor battery orientation display.I really only use flash where I need to, for bands and musicians it's only ever as a fill-in, hence my need for ease of overriding the output. Flash and flashguns leave me cold - I only pick one up when it's about to be used and I buy a new one about every decade. Sigma make some quality products - half of my best lenses are from them and so whilst they might not be leading lights in this field, it's rational to believe that a Sigma flashgun would do a competent job, with the same value-for-money attraction over marque products that their lenses are renowned for. For me, I can certainly say that this flagship gun continues this tradition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super valye and performance
*by T***5 on 9 July 2015*

Excellent value for money, works really well with my Pentax K50, I wanted a TTL flash and the Pentax versions are very expensive but this does the job just as well, full manual control as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good value for money
*by M***O on 3 December 2013*

Excellent value for money and ease of use. Has generated good results already . Only quibble is it does drain the batteries quickly
