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
