What Our Customers Say
Features:
- Advanced Amateur flash with a new multi-function shoe connector for enhanced camera communication and functionality
- The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp
- Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output
- Since the EL-5 does not need to use any power for a fan, all of that power can be used exclusively to charge and fire the flash - increaseing the number of continuous flashes to 350
- Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1
- Battery Pack LP-EL is charged with the Canon LC-E6 charger (not included)
- Utilize the free Canon Connect smartphone app to change settings like flash intensity, flash compensation, sync settings, multi-flash control, and FEB remotely
Details: The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that carries over many features from the flagship Speedlite EL-1 with some modern features all its own. For example, the EL-5 uses the same high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable battery. This upgrade alone gives the EL-5 the ability to perform better than any Canon AA-battery powered flash. With this new power, at full manual flash power, you get a recycle time of 1.2 seconds, and up to 350 flashes on a single battery charge. Since the EL-5 does not have an internal fan, all of that power is being used to recycle and fire the flash. Another feature brought over from the EL-1 is the joystick and selection dial so you can effortlessly operate this flash quickly, even while shooting. Additionally, the new Multi-function connector at the EL-5’s “foot” enables advanced communications on cameras equipped with a multi-function shoe.* You can adjust settings for your flash right on your camera touch LCD. 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.
