Product Description

One of the popular external flashes in the market today is the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash. This powerful flash brings flash photography to the next level with its various enhancements. One of the distinct features that the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash has is its silent recycling. This feature is very useful especially in discreet situations such as weddings. Moreover, the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash is compatible with all EOS camera bodies, a delight to every Canon enthusiast. This also enables the photographer to adjust the flash through the LCD Screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR Cameras.

A guide number is also a relevant factor to consider in flash systems. It indicates the maximum range of a flash and determines how powerful a unit is. The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash has a guide number of 141 feet or 43 meters, indeed powerful enough and very useful in location shooting.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash’s head swivels from -90 to 180 degrees. This is great in shooting locations where you want to direct the flash in a certain direction. Moreover, the flash head also tilts from 0 to 90 degrees, a useful feature even if it does not set to a negative angle which is used in macro shooting.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash’s wide panel, a built in wide-angle diffuser, is useful in avoiding light falloff which occurs whenever there is more light that reaches the center than the edges of an image.

Moreover, it is easier to attach or remove the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash from a camera with this one touch quick lock mechanism.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash’s LCD display is also reasonable sized which makes it easily readable to the user, a feature that would most likely help both amateur and professional photographers alike.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash’s metal mounting foot makes the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash even more durable than the plastic types and way better than the ones which you have to screw on. The Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash also has a bracket mount for the flash.

Just like most of the Canon products in the market, the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash can be operated through the Canon proprietary wireless system. This means that one having a master flash or a wireless transmitter allows one to control the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash remotely within a given range.
