Canon Speedlite EL-1 Flashgun

• Pro flashgun with super-fast performance
• Guide number 60m
• Fast recycle times
• Built-in LED modelling light
• Weather-resistant construction

The Canon Speedlite EL-1 is a high performance professional flashgun that offers incredible 0.1-0.9 sec recycle times. A guide number of 60m will light up distant subjects and large groups. Advanced wireless communication and technologies plus dust & weather resistant construction make this Canon's flagship Speedlite.

High speed
Be ready for anything. Super-fast 0.1-0.9 sec recycle times mean bursts of up to 170 full-power flashes2, plus high speed bursts at lower power levels are also possible.

Power when you need it
A high-performance LP-EL battery powers the EL-1’s blisteringly fast shooting speeds and shot-to-shot reliability. Expect up to 2345 flashes from a single charge. An accurate battery level indicator lets you know when it’s time to recharge or replace your power source.

Shoot with confidence
When the pressure’s on, you can count on the EL-1 to deliver. It’s guide number of 60m is backed up by the same degree of dust and water resistance as our L-Series lenses. An active cooling system prevents overheating, so you can shoot for longer.

Modelling light
A built-in bi-colour LED modelling light lets you see where and how the EL-1’s flash output will look, and preview where shadows will fall. Manual flash output can be varied between full and 1/8192 power.

Flexibility and control
Light your subject from anywhere in the scene, controlling the EL-1 wirelessly with a radio or optical trigger. Use multiple Speedlites together (as individual units or groups) for highly creative lighting.
