Product Information

Full details

The Kenro Mini Speedflash (KFL102FT) is a compact and versatile flashgun ideal for photographers using Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras seeking enhanced lighting control. Its key benefit is the combination of powerful flash output (GN32) with advanced features like ETTL compatibility and wireless slave functions, all in a lightweight design. A potential caveat is that rechargeable batteries are not included, requiring a separate purchase for its USB charging feature.

FAQs

What type of batteries does the Kenro Mini Speedflash use?

It uses 2x AA batteries. For the USB charge function, NiMH rechargeable AA batteries are required (not included).

Is this flash compatible with Nikon or Sony cameras?

This specific model (KFL102FT) is designed for Canon cameras. Kenro offers other variants for Sony and 4/3rds systems.

What is the maximum range of the flash?

With a guide number of GN32 (ISO 100), the effective range depends on the aperture, ISO, and subject reflectivity. In good conditions, it can effectively light subjects from a few feet up to approximately 15-20 feet (5-6 meters).

Can I use this flash off-camera?

Yes, it supports S1 and S2 optical slave modes, allowing it to be triggered by another flash.

Does it have High-Speed Sync (HSS)?

The product information does not specify HSS support. It does offer high-speed sync and rear-curtain sync, which are standard sync features, not advanced HSS.

What is the color temperature of the flash?

The flash features a daylight color temperature of 5600K.

What warranty comes with the flash?

The Kenro Mini Speedflash comes with a 2-year UK warranty.

Troubleshooting

Flash does not fire

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check if the flash is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe and that camera contacts are clean. Verify the flash is powered on and not in sleep mode. Test ETTL/Manual settings.

ETTL exposures are incorrect

Confirm ETTL mode is selected on the flash and camera. Check for any camera exposure compensation settings that might be affecting flash output. Ensure the flash contact pins are clean and making proper connection.

Flash is not responding to remote trigger (Slave Mode)

Ensure the flash is set to the correct slave mode (S1 or S2). Make sure the master flash is firing and within range. Check for line-of-sight obstructions between the master and slave flash. Confirm both flashes are set to compatible channels if applicable (though this model primarily uses basic optical triggering).

USB charging function not working

Ensure you are using compatible NiMH rechargeable batteries. Check the USB cable connection. The flash must be powered OFF to utilize the USB charging function.

LCD screen is dim or unreadable

Check battery levels; low batteries can affect screen brightness. Ensure the screen is clean. If the issue persists, contact support.

  2. Mount to Camera: Slide the foot of the flash securely into the camera's hot shoe until it clicks into place. Ensure the contact pins align.
  3. Power On: Press and hold the power button to turn the flash on.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the flash body and lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the LCD screen, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
  • Storage: Store the flash in a protective case or the original box when not in use to prevent dust and damage.
  • Battery Management: Remove batteries if the flash will be stored for an extended period to prevent leakage.
