Fast, consistent flash performance

Delivering 250Ws of flash power from a compact 1.9kg body, the FJ250 is well suited to photographers working both on location and in the studio. Recycle times from 0.01 to 0.9 seconds reduce waiting between frames, allowing the flash to keep pace with fast-moving subjects and continuous portrait sessions. Flash durations as short as 1/29,600 second freeze movement with precision, while the 9-stop output range, adjustable in 0.1 or 1.0-stop increments, provides precise control over flash output. The strobe also supports Continuous Capture at up to 50 fps, depending on the camera and selected power level.

Flexible power for extended sessions

The supplied FJ Pro AC/DC Battery delivers more than 850 full-power flashes per charge, supporting extended shooting sessions with fewer battery changes. The interchangeable battery system is shared with compatible FJ400 II and FJ800 strobes, allowing multiple lights to use the same power source. AC trickle charging maintains battery charge while connected to mains power, reducing the need for separate charging routines between shoots.

Intuitive control and dependable colour

The FJ250 maintains a consistent 5500K (±150K) colour temperature throughout its 9-stop power range, helping to produce predictable results across changing flash outputs. A 12W bi-colour LED modelling light, adjustable from 2700K to 6500K, provides a continuous preview of lighting before capture. The full-colour OLED touchscreen uses intuitive tap, swipe, and slide gestures for direct adjustment of settings, while integrated help guides provide on-screen assistance when required.

Complete portable lighting kit

This kit combines the FJ250 with a coordinated selection of accessories for portable studio and location photography. The included FJ-X3 M Universal Wireless Trigger provides remote control of compatible FJ Wireless lights using Westcott's multi-brand technology. It is compatible with many Canon, Nikon, Sony (manual mode), Fujifilm, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras, and supports TTL, High-Speed Sync, Freeze Sync, Front Curtain Sync, and Rear Curtain Sync.

The Rapid Box Switch Octa-S softbox assembles quickly to produce soft, even illumination, while the native Bowens mount supports compatibility with a wide range of light modifiers. Creative Mask enables up to six different lighting combinations to be captured from a single setup without repositioning lights, making it particularly useful for high-volume photography. The Lite Traveler Backpack keeps the complete kit organised with padded compartments and removable dividers for safe transport.
