Product Description
Canons powerful Speedlite brings all the features and performance of the
previous-generation Speedlite EL-5, and adds even more robust wireless,
off-camera capabilities - extending its potential range from the transmitter or
sender flash unit to 164 feet (nearly 50m). Flash performance is excellent,
beginning with its flash coverage and power. Automatic or manual zooming of the
flash head can match the coverage of 24mm to 200mm or longer lenses, on a
full-frame camera (equivalent to 15mm"125mm+ lenses on an APS-C sensor camera).
Maximum flash power delivers a Guide Number of approximately 169.9 (in feet) or
60 (in meters), zoomed to the 200mm position. That translates into an effective
flash distance range, at its 35mm zoom setting, of up to 42 feet, at f/2.8 and
ISO 100 - that doubles to approximately 84 feet at ISO 400.
The good news doesnt end there. A powerful Canon LP-EL rechargeable battery
pack delivers up to 350 flashes at full manual power - and many more at reduced
power settings - along with 1.2 second flash recycling (again, at full manual
power). Theres a built-in, continuous LED modeling lamp, to preview lighting
coverage and shadows. And its fully integrated into Canons Wireless E-TTL
flash system, compatible with all previous radio-based Canon wireless flash
units and transmitters. Likewise, its fully compatible with Canon EOS cameras
equipped with the advanced Multi-function Shoe design, permitting extensive
integrated control between camera and Speedlite. And for those who prefer to use
the controls on the flash, the EL-5 (Ver. 2) retains the superb control dial,
joystick, and LCD screen from the original EL-5.
Important: Speedlite EL-5 (Ver. 2) can
only be shoe-mounted to Canon EOS mirrorless cameras with Canons Multi-function
Shoe design. It cannot be attached to any EOS Digital SLR cameras, or to EOS
R-series cameras using the original, 5-pin hot shoe connector design.
