Product Information
The Canon EL-5 II Speedlite is a rechargeable, radio-capable flash for EOS cameras equipped with Canon’s Multi-function Shoe. It combines a 76 Ws maximum energy rating with 14–200mm coverage, including a 14mm wide panel, for on-camera or multi-flash lighting setups.
Fast, repeatable flash performance
With the included LP-EL battery pack, the EL-5 II is rated for approximately 350–2,450 flashes per charge and an approximately 0.1–1.2 second recycle time under Canon testing standards. Its guide number reaches 60 m / 196.9 ft at ISO 100 with 200mm coverage.
Built for flexible lighting control
Use the LED modeling lamp to preview the direction of light and shadows, or work with E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash, manual flash, stroboscopic flash, and radio sender/receiver functions. The flash supports up to five wireless groups and includes an LCD, joystick, and select dial for direct control.
Compatibility matters
The EL-5 II is designed specifically for EOS cameras with Canon’s Multi-function Shoe; it cannot be mounted or used on cameras with other accessory-shoe designs. A soft case, stand, and LP-EL Battery Pack are included. The compatible LC-E6 Battery Charger is not included.
