## Overview

The Canon Speedlite EL-5 is a professional-grade camera flash that combines flagship EL-1 features like a lithium-ion rechargeable battery and joystick control with a compact, fanless design. It delivers ultra-fast recycle times between 0.1 and 1.2 seconds and up to 350 continuous flashes per charge, making it ideal for demanding shoots. Its advanced Multi-function shoe enables seamless integration with compatible Canon cameras, allowing flash settings to be adjusted directly from the camera’s touchscreen. Built for durability and reliability, the EL-5 is a powerful tool for photographers seeking speed, control, and endurance in a compact flash unit.

## Description

The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that carries over many features from the flagship Speedlite EL-1 with some modern features all its own. For example, the EL-5 uses the same high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable battery. This upgrade alone gives the EL-5 the ability to perform better than any Canon AA-battery powered flash. With this new power, at full manual flash power, you get a recycle time of 1.2 seconds, and up to 350 flashes on a single battery charge. Since the EL-5 does not have an internal fan, all of that power is being used to recycle and fire the flash. Another feature brought over from the EL-1 is the joystick and selection dial so you can effortlessly operate this flash quickly, even while shooting. Additionally, the new Multi-function connector at the EL-5’s “foot” enables advanced communications on cameras equipped with a multi-function shoe.* You can adjust settings for your flash right on your camera touch LCD. Important: because of the transition to Canon’s Multi-function accessory shoe, please be aware that Speedlite EL-5 cannot be mounted or used on Canon cameras with other accessory shoe designs.

Review: The Speedlight is awesome, but I found a common issue with fast battery draining both for myself and on the internet. (For instance, a fully charged battery can be completely drained within 24 hours even when the unit is switched off). I tried to resolve the issue by contacting Canon to see if it could be fixed with a firmware update or any other solution. I also attempted using a brand new battery, but encountered the same problem. Ultimately, I decided to return the Speedlight and ordered a new one directly from Canon. They provided a discount to compensate for the inconvenience and the issue. The new Speedlight is holding its charge just fine; for instance, it only dropped from 98% to 90% over the course of 3 days. I would recommend the Speedlight, but I suggest conducting a test upon receipt and promptly replacing it if you receive a defective unit.
Review: The menu is so user friendly you don’t need to read the manual . Better build, and absolutely stronger then a Godox , also this mount is solid and water proof. and If I need to get support and fix a I can count on Canon repair department . I’m a 50 years veteran photographer I never liked any of the Canon flashes before but this one is a Winner. I can also use Magmod adapter with accessories no problem but it becomes a bit front heavy. I prefer using Wyng bounce device very light. Last the battery is absolutely powerful and recycle time really fast So far I shot 3 corporate events and the battery was only down one line for for then 500 shots 1/8 of power camera was set at 2500 ISO aperture 4.5 Canon lens 24/105 L F 4 Hopefully this will help you make a final decision. This is no doubt a great flash very pleased.

## Features

- The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp.*

- Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output. Great for situations where you always need to be ready.
- Since the EL-5 uses the rechargable LP-EL battery, it can emit up to 350 continuous flashes on a single charge
- Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work for  a canon eos r ?**
A: No it won’t work with an EOS R.  It only works with new Canon cameras with the multi-function shoe.  You can find a list of compatible cameras on the Canon specs page for the EL-5.

**Q: Hi. does this flash work on the canon eos r camera? not the canon eos r line, the actual canon eos r model camera.**
A: It's only compatible with newer cameras (R7,R10,R3,R6II) with the multi-function hotshoe.

**Q: The EL-5 doesn't come with a charger? Can it be charged installed using USB?**
A: EL-5 doesn't come with a charger and has no USB port. You can use LC-E6 or LC-E6E to charge the battery. My R6 mark II comes with LC-E6E so I don't have to buy another one.
