The Speedlite EL-1 (ver. 2) has a maximum guide number of 190 ft. (58m) at ISO 100 to provide you the versatile lighting you desire for flash photography in a variety of situations, such as outdoor weddings, portraits, and low light scenarios during indoor events.

New Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Utilizing LC-E6 Battery Charger
Improved performance and convenience are the results of the new compact and rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack LP-EL. It delivers the power and reliability needed when shooting any situation, especially weddings or photojournalism opportunities when a moment can be once-in-a-lifetime, so you can feel confident in the flash recycle performance when shooting a series of images for extended periods of time. You can even view the remaining battery level in the top right display of the Speedlite EL-1 (ver. 2), letting you know just how long you can go or when it's time to recharge with the LC-E6 battery charger.

Improved Recycling Time (0.9 Sec.) and Number Of Flashes (340 Times)
Additional benefits of the new rechargeable Li-ion Battery in the Speedlite EL-1 (ver. 2) is the speed at which the flash recycles so you can utilize it back to back repetitively, one flash after another. With an approx. recycle time of 0.9 sec. (approx. 6x faster than the 600EX II-RT when the 600EX II-RT is used with AA/LR6 alkaline batteries) you will find improved consistency and less underexposed black frames, when the opportunity presents itself. The improved power of the rechargeable Li-ion Battery is also evidenced by the number of times you can fire the flash when fully charged, up to 340 times (approx. 3x longer than the 600EX II-RT when the 600EX II-RT is used with AA/LR6 alkaline batteries) before having to recharge or simply swapping out for another LP-EL battery.

New Active Cooling System Enabling Longer Operation
An active cooling system helps circulate air throughout the flash head to keep it cool when firing continuously for longer periods of time, using a fan and glass panel to improve heat resistance. This cooling system lets you keep firing the flash for approx. 170 continuous shots, while also not impairing the dust- and water-resistance of the Speedlite EL-1 (ver. 2).

Note: At 73 Degree F, with the fan set to ON, and before reaching flash firing restriction Level 1, with no flash adapters fitted (bursts up to 160 full power flashes with the flash zoomed from 150-200mm).

Improved Thermal Management
A high-durability Xenon-filled glass flash tube helps the Speedlite EL-1 (ver. 2) fire more effectively and efficiently.
