Canon EL-5

Built for Brilliance

Choose the Canon EL-5 for your next assignment and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Make a difference with its powerful GN60 (m, ISO100) output, exceptional build quality, and the ability to control a range of custom modes and settings directly from your camera via Canon’s Multi-Function Foot.

Professional Lighting with Performance to Match

Seize unmissable moments with a robust GN60-rated flash that offers fast recycle times and long continuous bursts. Stay confident with a power level indicator informing you about the LP-EL Li-ion battery charge.

Multi-Function Foot for Advanced Operation

Manage the Canon EL-5 directly from your camera using Canon’s Multi-Function Foot, a new interface that ensures a reliable connection with enhanced communication and features.

Feature-Packed for Creative Photography

Utilise FE Memory for quicker setups and Manual mode for precise control down to 1/1024th power. Custom Flash Modes allow you to store settings and link them to your camera’s custom settings.

Multi-Flash Lighting for Studio Quality Shooting

Wirelessly control up to 15 Speedlites with the built-in radio transmitter from up to 30m away and model your lighting using the Dual White LED with adjustable brightness.

Intuitive Interface and Advanced Handling

Adjust settings with the Canon EL-5’s joystick, from the camera’s LCD via the Direct Menu button, or remotely through the Camera Connect App. The Canon EL-5 can tilt upwards to 120° or sideways for bounce lighting.

Remote, Reliable Operation Every Time

Shoot confidently in all weather conditions as the Canon EL-5 has weather-resistant seals and an improved internal airflow design that helps keep the flash head cool.
