(information below taken directly from
Canon's website)
Canon's top-of-the-line Speedlite has been thoroughly revised. It's
smaller and lighter than ever, yet provides a bit more power and
significantly faster recycling. A new Select Dial makes changes,
like exposure compensation, a breeze. It now covers lenses as wide
as 14mm, and has new features for digital SLRs - including the
ability to transmit precise flash color temperature information, and
vary the zoom setting to match the imaging sensor.
-
Approx. 25% faster recycling time compared to 550EX.
-
Superior evenness of exposure, center to corner of frame.
-
Slightly higher max. guide number at 105mm setting (GN 190, feet).
-
Auto conversion of flash coverage with compatible digital SLRs.
-
White Balance info communicated instantly to compatible digital SLRs.
-
Full swivel, 180° in either direction (first TTL flash with this
ability).
-
AF-assist beam now compatible with all AF points on every EOS SLR.
-
New Select Dial for easy inputs and user control. |
