A Guide to On-Camera Flash

Perfect for those who want to add vintage flair to their contemporary photo setup, the GODOX Lux Cadet Retro Style Flash is a camera-mountable light source that delivers seven stops of flash power. Its design, inspired by flash units of yore, features a retractable, petaled reflector and a simple dial that correlates ISO with apertures, power levels, and shooting distances. The flash also has an auto mode that defaults to f/2.8 at ISO 100.

Control features include an Optical Mode that offers S1 and S2 settings as well as a 2.5mm sync port for external operation with the included triggering cable. The unit runs on its built-in rechargeable battery, which is rated for approximately 620 full-power flashes. The unit also comes with a USB-C charging cable and a storage bag.
