Viltrox’s New Retro-Inspired Z1 Flash

Viltrox just dropped the Vintage Z1, a tiny retro-styled flash that looks old-school but packs serious modern power. It’s super lightweight at just four ounces and has a slick silver metal body with leather accents — definitely made for photographers who love vintage style but want today’s performance.

The Z1 gives you seven brightness levels, a fast recycle time (as quick as 0.2 seconds), and ultra-short flash durations, making it awesome for tricky low-light shoots like city nights or moody hallways. It covers a wide 28mm angle and even comes with a white diffuser to soften your light for a more natural, cinematic look.

It’s very versatile too. It mounts to almost any camera with a standard hot shoe, supports wireless off-camera shooting with two sync modes for clean multi-light setups, and has a built-in battery that cranks out up to 10,000 flashes on a single fast charge. It’s coming in at around $50.

Adobe Launched the Content Authenticity App

Adobe just launched the public beta of its free Content Authenticity app, and if you’re a photographer, you’ll want to pay attention. With AI-generated content everywhere, it’s getting harder to prove your work is real and actually yours. Adobe’s new tool helps fix that by letting you add Content Credentials to your images, kind of like a digital signature, along with important info about how the image was created.

You can tag up to 50 JPG or PNG files at once (even if they weren’t made in Adobe apps), and it’ll soon support bigger files, plus video and audio too. Content Credentials are super ‘‘durable’’, they stick with your work even if someone screenshots it, edits it, or reposts it. They combine secure metadata, invisible watermarks, and unique fingerprinting to keep your name attached and show if AI was involved.

Plus, Adobe partnered with LinkedIn to help photographers link their verified ID to their work. When you share an image on LinkedIn that has Content Credentials, people will be able to hover over a little badge and instantly see your verified info. You can view Content Credentials right now using a Chrome extension or the inspect tool in the app. And Adobe plans to roll out deeper Creative Cloud integration soon.
