Overview

The Yongnuo YN560 IV is a manual speedlite flash designed for photographers who want powerful, flexible lighting control without the premium price of TTL-enabled units. With a guide number of 58 at ISO 100 and 105mm, it delivers output comparable to many mid-range OEM flashes, and the zoom head adjusts from 24mm through 105mm to match the spread of light to your lens focal length. The flash head tilts vertically from -7° to 90° and rotates horizontally from 0° to 270°, providing full bounce and directional control for natural-looking light in any environment.

What sets the YN560 IV apart from simpler manual flashes is its integrated 2.4GHz wireless radio system. In master (TX) mode, it can wirelessly trigger other compatible Yongnuo flashes — such as the YN560 III or additional YN560 IV units — without requiring a separate radio transmitter on the camera hotshoe. In slave (RX) mode, it responds to commands from Yongnuo transmitters like the YN560-TX. Additionally, optical slave modes S1 and S2 provide compatibility with virtually any flash system, with S2 ignoring TTL pre-flashes. The flash supports manual and multi (stroboscopic) modes, powered by four AA batteries. For photographers learning off-camera flash or building affordable multi-light setups, the YN560 IV offers a rare combination of wireless capability and output power at its price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the YN560 IV trigger other flashes wirelessly without a separate transmitter?

Yes. The YN560 IV has a built-in wireless master (TX) function that can trigger other Yongnuo flashes like the YN560 III and YN560 IV in slave (RX) mode, eliminating the need for a separate radio transmitter.

Does this flash support TTL automatic exposure?

No. The YN560 IV is a manual-only flash. You set the power output yourself. It does not communicate exposure data with your camera for automatic flash metering.

What batteries does the YN560 IV require?

It runs on four AA batteries, which are not included. Rechargeable NiMH AA batteries are recommended for faster recycle times and better long-term value.

What triggering modes are available on this flash?

The YN560 IV supports camera hotshoe triggering, wireless master (TX), wireless slave (RX), and optical slave modes S1 and S2. S2 mode ignores pre-flashes from TTL systems, making it compatible in mixed-flash setups.
