Impressive Output Range
Take your creative photography to the next level with a Canon Speedlite 430 EX III-RT Flash. Its impressive output range and built-in radio wireless support delivers improved functionality and easy off-camera creative flash effects.E-TTL Compatibility
Compatible with E-TTL and E-TTL II the 430EX-RT flash measures a guide number of 43m ISO100 at 105mm for a power output that is perfect for a range of lighting scenarios.Swivel Head Design
Its versatility extends to the flash head which improves upon its predecessors by delivering a the ability to rotate 150° right and 180° left, plus tilt upwards 90° for superior flexibility when bouncing light onto reflectors, ceilings, walls and more.Bright LCD Display
Inherited from the premium 600EX-RT, the 430EX-RT III now features a easy to read and navigate LCD display at the rear. A multi-dial setup has also been integrated into the design for improved adjustment and navigation of various flash functions and modes.Adjustable Power Output
Powered by 4x AA batteries, its light output can be fine-tuned manually, with adjustable increments between 1/1 and 1/128th power available at 1/3-step increments.Fast Recycle Time
A fast 0.1-3.5 second recycle time caters to rapid-fire shooting when using AA or LR6 Alkaline batteries. A Quick Flash mode can be utilised for even faster performance, reducing the firing interval to between 0.1 and 2.5 seconds.Integrated Radio Frequency Triggering
With Integrated radio frequency triggering (RT), the 430EXIII-RT allows photographers to achieve exciting results with complex on-and-off-camera lighting set-ups. Using one master 430EX-RT or the Canon ST-E3-RT radio-frequency wireless Speedlite transmitter (sold separately), provides control of up to 15x compatible flash units, positioned up to 30m away. This allows multiple flashes to be remotely triggered - opening great potential to experiment with more creative lighting techniques and effects.Includes Bounce Adapter & Colour Filter
To provide even better control of the light, the Canon 430 EX III-RT features a 14mm diffuser and catch-light card built-into the flash head. In the box, Canon have also provided a SBA-E2 bounce diffuser for even softer light and a SCF-E2 tungsten colour conversion filter for more accurate white balance performance when shooting under indoor lighting.Type |
