Speedlite EL-1 (Delivery will take 5 months)
HK$8,980.00
Being the first ever Canon Speedlite to feature the iconic red ring, Speedlite EL-1 is capable to provide up to 160 times [1] continuous flash burst along with high-speed flash recycle time as fast as 0.1 - 0.9sec [2]. With the new LP-EL battery, Speedlite EL-1 can fire up to 335 times at full power. It also supports micro flash output with power as low as 1/8192 to express colour nuances. The dust and drip resistant [7] speedlite provides high functionality and reliability to professional photographers.
Features
- Class-leading continuous flash performance of 160 or more continuous flashes[1] with a highly durable xenon tube and new active cooling system. Heat resistance is improved by using a glass panel and a slim blower fan system that circulates cool air inside the flash head
- Super high-speed charging of approx. 0.1 to 0.9 sec[2] , even at low battery level, with a new efficient charging circuit powered by new dedicated Battery Pack LP-EL.
- Achieve approx. 335 to 2345 flashes per charge, surpassing that of Speedlite 600EX II-RT used in conjunction with CP-E4N
- New 14-stop manual output with minimum 1/8192 micro flash output[3] which allows more subtle lighting control than existing flashes
- Equipped with two-color LED modeling lamps with adjustable brightness and color temperature
- Powerful flash output with maximum Guide No. 60 (meter; ISO 100; 200mm)
- Flash coverage from 24mm to 200mm and extendable to 14mm with built-in wide panel
- Use of large and high-resolution reflective memory LCD panel with “white text on black” display for better visibility
- Improved user interface with a new “joystick” for more intuitive viewing and speedy operation
- New battery level display for user to check the remaining battery capacity (in percentage), flash count and recharge performance; user can easily know when to replace the battery
- Renowned integrated 2.4GHz radio transmission wireless flash "Sender" and "Receiver" functions[4] , with a transmission distance of approx. 30m, 15 channels and 10,000 radio transmission IDs to prevent interference

- New accessories “Color Filter SCF-ELOR1”, “Color Filter SCF-ELOR2” and “Bounce Adapter SBA-EL” are included
- Compatible with Compact Battery Pack CP-E4N to further reduce charging time and increase the maximum flash count
- Dust-and-water resistance design[7]
[1] The number of continuous flashes before reaching the flash firing restriction level 1 (due to temperature increase) at 1/1 full power and fan is ON. Based on Canon’s measurement conditions.
[2] 1/8192 to 1/1 power charging time required for firing.
[3] Notes for wireless flash photography: when radio transmission wireless function is used, in order to accurately use a flash output smaller than 1/128, it is necessary to use the Speedlite EL-1 for both the sender and receiver. The minimum flash output for optical transmission wireless function and high-speed sync may become 1/128.
