Canon Multifunction accessory shoe
Control the SPEEDLITE EL-5 directly from the camera - thanks to the Canon Multifunctional Accessory Shoe*****, which offers a reliable connection with improved communication and function.

Many functions for creative photography
The FE memory (only with compatible cameras) enables quick setup, and manual flash power adjustment is possible down to 1/1.024 (only with compatible cameras, the minimum flash output is 1/128 with high-speed synchronization). With the user-defined flash modes, settings can be saved and linked to the user-defined settings of a compatible camera.

Set-ups with multiple flash units for studio-quality shots
Control up to 15 Speedlites wirelessly with the integrated radio transmitter from up to 30 m away and model the lighting using the two white LEDs, the brightness of which can be adjusted.

Intuitive menus and advanced operation
Control the settings directly with the Speedlite's joystick, from the camera's LCD, via the Speedlite's direct menu button (flash), or remotely via the Camera Connect app. The reflector of the SPEEDLITE EL-5 can be directed up to 120 degrees upwards or to the side to create indirect lighting.

Always reliable, even remotely
Thanks to weatherproof seals and an improved internal airflow design to cool the flash head, you can shoot with flash light in any weather
