Canon – Speedlite EL-5 External Flash

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 flash’s 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-5’s “foot enables advanced communication on multi-function shoe equipped cameras1 providing more customization and control to be shared between the flash and camera. Important because of the transition to Canon’s Multi-function accessory shoe please be aware that Speedlite EL-5 cannot be mounted or used on Canon cameras with other accessory shoe designs., Battery Size: Battery pack; Brand: Canon; Case Included: true; Color Category: Black; Color: Black; Flash Modes: High-speed sync; Guide Number: 24-200mm 14mm with Wide Angle Adapter; Model Number: 5654C002; Mounting Style: Hot Shoe; Product Depth: 4.9 inches; Product Height: 5.5 inches; Product Name: Speedlite EL-5 External Flash; Product Weight: 1.08 pounds; Product Width: 3.2 inches; Zoom Head: true
