Product Description
The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that receives many features from
the flagship Speedlite EL-1 while also including modern features all its own.
Two popular features found in the EL-5 are the modeling lamp and the use of the
high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The modeling lamp
aids the photographer in seeing the effect of the flashs light emission,
including providing an idea of how shadows will fall on a subject. With this
battery pack, and firing at full 1/1 manual flash power, the Speedlite EL-5
emits a guide number of 60m/169.9ft @ 200mm (at approx. ISO 100) with the
ability to recycle to full power in just 1.2 seconds, and with the potential for
up to 350 full power flashes being possible on a single battery charge. To
improve working with the Speedlite EL-5 the joystick and select dial from the
EL-1 are featured making operation easy, so adjustments can be made quickly,
while shooting. Additionally, the new Multi-function connector at the EL-5s
foot enables advanced communication on multi-function shoe equipped cameras
providing more customization and control to be shared between the flash and
camera.
