Canon Speedlite EL-1 – Exact Light for Masters
Force Meets Fineness
The Canon Speedlite EL-1 stands as a crown flash, shaped for exacting image-crafters who seek speed, command, and trust. With a mighty guide count of 197 (ISO 100) and a vast span of light strength from 1/1 to 1/8192, it grants rare freedom to carve glow in any scene.
Swift Renewal & Long Breath
Driven by the LP-EL rechargeable core, the EL-1 yields near 335 full-flare bursts on one charge and revives in but 0.9 seconds. Its live cooling design keeps light steady through endless hours, fit for grand feasts, style shoots, and tireless sessions.
Wireless Command
Armed with built-in 2.4GHz radio link, the EL-1 can steer up to 15 fellow Speedlites afar. From tangled multi-light arrays to free flash play, it blends with ease, offering second-curtain sync for full creative sway.
Tough Yet Polished
Built with the same dust and water shield as Canon’s EOS-1D line, the EL-1 is forged to last. Its clear interface bears a joystick, personal keys, and a bright LED guide lamp with color shift—ideal for previewing your light craft.
