Product details

The Speedlite EL-1 features a rugged, weather-resistant design for reliable performance in harsh conditions. Its versatility is evident in practical power options that range from full power down to 1/8192. This gives photographers more control and precision in creative lighting. Paired with Canon's latest professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras, the Speedlite EL-1 allows photojournalists, sports, wildlife and wedding photographers to capture even those unforgettable moments that cannot be repeated. To visually underline the professional level, the Speedlite EL-1 is the first Canon Speedlite to feature the legendary red ring, Canon's trademark for professional image quality, just like the L series lenses.
