Yongnuo YN-560

Eagle-eyed Flickr users have spotted the first flash in Yongnuo’s new YN-56X line, 

According to reliable sources, the YN-46X line has ended with the YN-468 – the Nikon version of which is scheduled to be released in 2 months.




From the images (see more here) we can see the new YN-560 features:

  • New body design (think Canon 580EX II), including an improved battery compartment door.
  • 24-105mm manually-controllable power zoom
  • “Idiot lights” to show zoom setting, mode and power level
  • Manual mode and two slave modes (despite the caption saying “TTL”, this is likely reserved for a future model, e.g. YN-565)
  • Improved optical slave, with range of “up to 15m”
  • PC sync port
  • High voltage battery pack input (looks like Canon type)
  • Bounce card and flip-down diffuser
  • Ready beep (can be switched off)
  • Full to 1/128 power (control pad also suggests potential for fractional adjustment?)
  • Guide Number (GN) 58 (metres) at Iso 100, 105mm zoom.
  • “you can completely get rid of the evil anxiously waiting for call back dream” with a fast recycle time
  • 8fps at 1/8 power and below
  • Power saving mode (can be switched off)
  • Settings are saved when you switch the flash off
