Powerful Flash Performance

The EL-5 provides a Guide Number of 60m at ISO 100, giving photographers plenty of illumination for subjects at a distance. Its automatic exposure control supports E-TTL II and E-TTL flash metering, while manual output can be adjusted across a wide range for more precise lighting control.
