Canon Speedlite EL-5 Flash with 2.4 GHz Wireless Radio Transmission

The Canon Speedlite EL-5 is a flash that is upgraded from the Speedlite EL-1 with new updated features. The EL-5 is capable of being a modeling lamp and uses a high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The modeling lamp is designed to aid 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 its 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). It also features the ability to recycle to full power in just 1.2 seconds and carries the potential for up to 350 full-power flashes on a single battery charge. The joystick and select dial from the EL-1 are still key design features making operation and adjustments quick and simple. The added Multi-function connector at the EL-5’s “foot” provides advanced communication on multi-function shoe-equipped cameras for added customization and control.

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.
