Canon Speedlite EL-1 Flashgun

When the moment is fleeting and there's no second chance, the Canon Speedlite EL-1 (Ver.2) delivers the kind of performance professionals rely on. Designed for absolute reliability, rapid response, and exceptional creative control, this is Canon’s ultimate professional flash.

Fast, precise and completely dependable

The EL-1 (Ver.2) is engineered to perform under pressure. With a powerful guide number of 58 (m, ISO 100) and fast recycling times of just 0.1 to 0.9 seconds, it's ready to fire when it matters most. Whether you’re shooting high-end portraits, fast-paced events or once-in-a-lifetime weddings, you can rely on the EL-1 (Ver.2) to deliver consistent results.

Professional-grade performance

A high-performance LP-EL rechargeable battery provides up to 2380 flashes from a single charge, with 340 shots possible at full power. The EL-1 (Ver.2) also supports bursts of up to 170 full-power flashes, and high-speed continuous shooting at lower outputs. An accurate battery indicator helps you manage your power with confidence.

Built to endure

With the same dust and water resistance as Canon’s L-Series lenses, the EL-1 (Ver.2) is built for demanding environments. An active internal cooling system prevents overheating, so you can shoot for longer without compromise.

Creative flexibility

Control your lighting from anywhere using optical or radio wireless triggering. Group Mode allows you to operate up to 15 Speedlites remotely, offering total flexibility for complex, multi-light setups.

Visualise your results

A built-in bi-colour LED modelling light helps you preview the lighting effect before you shoot, allowing for precise adjustments. Manual flash output can be fine-tuned from full power all the way down to 1/8192 for subtle and creative results.
