Canon Speedlite EL-1

The Canon Speedlite EL-1 is a powerful, connected and reliable on-camera E-TTL / E-TTL II-compatible flash, designed to suit a range of lighting needs. Its xenon flashtube provides greater exposure stability and a powerful guide number of 197' at ISO 100, with exposure control from full 1/1 power to 1/8192 power. The EL-1 also uses the LP-EL rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which allows for shorter recycle times of around 0.9 sec, approximately 335 flashes per charge, and improved thermal management and active cooling system.

The EL-1 fully supports EL-series RT flashes via its built in radio trigger and receiver. It can trigger up to 15 RT-series receiver Speedlites to produce light freely even when not attached to the camera. For even more creative possibilities, the EL-1 features Second-Curtain Sync. The flash has a rugged physical design equivalent to the dust and water-resistance of the EOS-1D-series camera bodies. Its improved user interface incorporates an updated joystick design, display, and control layout and it features a tunable LED modeling lamp to help previsualize the lighting. Additionally, the flash head can fully swivel 180° left and right, bounce upward 120°, and it includes a built-in wide panel.
