Canon Speedlite EL-1 flash

Canon Speedlite EL-1 professional flash

The Canon EL-1 is the manufacturer's most robust flash. With an L in the product name and a red ring around the flash head, it's a workhorse for demanding event and sports photography, red carpets or fast-paced professional photography.

Why do we praise the very low minimum output? This gives you not only raw speed and power, but also a very subtle amount of additional light when you are shooting close to your subject and don't want the look of a traditional flash photo, but rather amplifying natural light!

• Completely new interface, new menus
• Control wheel and joystick for adjusting settings
• No more batteries: new LP-EL battery (compatible with LC-E6 charger)
• Guide number 60, power control goes up to 1/8192 of the partial power!
• Weatherproof and metal frame
• 0.9 second charging interval at full power
• Active cooling, withstands continuous use

The biggest upgrade to the Canon Speedlite EL-1 flash is the battery. The new EL-1 battery type is efficient and can take around 335 shots on a full charge. The battery is also necessary for fast shooting, as the flash is ready for the next shot in just 0.9 seconds, even at full power.

The flash battery is charged with the same LC-E6 charger as the NP-L6 batteries, but these batteries cannot be used for flash use, the new LP-EL battery type is required for this.

The Canon EL-1 is clearly aimed at demanding use. The body is durable and made of metal. Weather protection is at the same level as in EOS 1 series cameras. The flash has active cooling and you can take pictures in succession at full power for up to 170 frames!

The flash head is also designed to be durable and offers precise power control and color reproduction. The EL-1 is naturally compatible with Canon's RT radio triggers. The flash head covers a range of 24-200mm. The flash has an adjustable LED modeling light.
