It delivers ultra-fast recycle times between 0.1 and 1.2 seconds and up to 350 continuous flashes per charge, making it ideal for fast-paced shooting. The EL-5 supports advanced camera communication via Canon’s multi-function shoe, ensuring seamless integration with compatible cameras. Lightweight and powerful, it’s designed for photographers who demand speed, reliability, and intuitive control. ## Description The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that carries over many features from the flagship Speedlite EL-1 with some modern features all its own. For example, the EL-5 uses the same high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable battery. This upgrade alone gives the EL-5 the ability to perform better than any Canon AA-battery powered flash. With this new power, at full manual flash power, you get a recycle time of 1.2 seconds, and up to 350 flashes on a single battery charge. Since the EL-5 does not have an internal fan, all of that power is being used to recycle and fire the flash. Another feature brought over from the EL-1 is the joystick and selection dial so you can effortlessly operate this flash quickly, even while shooting. Additionally, the new Multi-function connector at the EL-5’s “foot” enables advanced communications on cameras equipped with a multi-function shoe.* You can adjust settings for your flash right on your camera touch LCD. Important: because of the transition to Canon’s Multi-function accessory shoe, please be aware that Speedlite EL-5 cannot be mounted or used on Canon cameras with other accessory shoe designs. Review: The Speedlight is awesome, but I found a common issue with fast battery draining both for myself and on the internet. (For instance, a fully charged battery can be completely drained within 24 hours even when the unit is switched off). I tried to resolve the issue by contacting Canon to see if it could be fixed with a firmware update or any other solution. I also attempted using a brand new battery, but encountered the same problem. Ultimately, I decided to return the Speedlight and ordered a new one directly from Canon. They provided a discount to compensate for the inconvenience and the issue. The new Speedlight is holding its charge just fine; for instance, it only dropped from 98% to 90% over the course of 3 days. I would recommend the Speedlight, but I suggest conducting a test upon receipt and promptly replacing it if you receive a defective unit. Review: Outstanding flash ## Features - The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp.* - Utilizing the same high-speed charging circuits as the EL-1 and a lithium-ion battery, the EL-5 acheives a recharge time of 0.1 to 1.2 sec.** - Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output. Great for situations where you always need to be ready. - Since the EL-5 uses the rechargable LP-EL battery, it can emit up to 350 continuous flashes on a single charge - Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BL876KV7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,943 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #145 in Shoe-Mount Flashes | | Item model number | 5654C002 | | Manufacturer | Canon USA | | Product Dimensions | 12.45 x 8.13 x 13.97 cm; 490 g | ## Product Details - **Battery life:** 7 days - **Brand:** Canon - **Camera flash:** external - **Compatible mountings:** Hot Shoe Mount - **Flash sync speed:** 1/200s or 1/250s ## Images ![Canon Speedlite EL-5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ff8aXACNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this work for a canon eos r ?** A: No it won’t work with an EOS R. It only works with new Canon cameras with the multi-function shoe. You can find a list of compatible cameras on the Canon specs page for the EL-5. **Q: Hi. does this flash work on the canon eos r camera? not the canon eos r line, the actual canon eos r model camera.** A: It's only compatible with newer cameras (R7,R10,R3,R6II) with the multi-function hotshoe. **Q: The EL-5 doesn't come with a charger? Can it be charged installed using USB?** A: EL-5 doesn't come with a charger and has no USB port. You can use LC-E6 or LC-E6E to charge the battery. My R6 mark II comes with LC-E6E so I don't have to buy another one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***A on 14 March 2024* The Speedlight is awesome, but I found a common issue with fast battery draining both for myself and on the internet.
