Canon Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 Summary

The next-generation Canon Speedlite EL-1 (Version 2) is a high-performance wireless flashgun for professionals who require blistering performance, reliable light output and consistent exposure. It offers fast recycle times of 0.1 to 0.9 seconds, allowing for bursts of up to 170 full-power flashes, with even higher burst rates at lower output settings. It is powered by a high-capacity LP-EL lithium-ion battery, which delivers durable performance with up to 340 full-power discharges per charge, with an accurate on-screen battery level indicator.

The EL-1 (Version 2) provides a guide number of 58 (ISO 100 at 200mm), enabling bright lighting across a wide area or for more distant subjects. An active internal fan enables extended operation without overheating, while the sealed construction provides a similar level of dust and water resistance as Canon’s L-Series lenses, which is ideal for location shoots.

A built-in LED modelling light helps when previewing how shadows and highlights will fall, with adjustable brightness and colour temperature. Manual output can be adjusted from full power down to 1/8192, which supports subtle fill lighting and advanced creative control. Wireless control is available via optical or radio triggering, with full support for multi-flash setups.

The EL-1 (Ver 2) is ideal for a range of professional uses including red carpet, event and portrait photography where performance, speed and reliability are essential.

Canon Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 in More Detail

Fast Recycling and Burst Shooting

The EL-1 (Version 2) Speedlite can recycle between shots in as little as 0.1 seconds, while supporting up to 170 full-power flashes in a single burst. This responsiveness can be consistently maintained thanks to the dedicated LP-EL battery and active internal cooling.

High Capacity Battery System

The LP-EL battery provides reliable power, with up to 340 full-power discharges per charge. The flash displays an accurate battery level on the rear panel too, which helps to avoid downtime during critical moments.

The LP-EL can be recharged using a Canon LC-E6 battery charger. It can be charged to full capacity in approx. 2 hours 10 minutes and has a life of at least 300 charge/discharge cycles. 

Lighting Control

Manual flash output is adjustable from full down to 1/8192 power. This wide range allows for subtle fill light or precise control in multi-light setups. Flash Exposure (FE) memory enables users to capture a test exposure in E-TTL mode, then lock in the output for consistent manual use, reducing exposure shifts caused by changes in scene or composition.

Built-In LED Modelling Light

A dual LED lamp in the flash head previews light direction and shadow placement before the shutter is released. It offers five levels of brightness and five colour temperature presets. The modelling lamp can also act as an AF assist beam in dark conditions and can be switched on from the flash body or shutter button.

Wireless and Multi-Flash Functionality

The Canon EL-1 (Version 2) supports both radio and optical triggering, which makes it easy to integrate with existing Canon Speedlite setups. It can be used as a standalone unit, master controller or remote flash within a multi-light system.

Weather Resistant Quality Build

With a sealed, weather-resistant housing and robust design, the EL-1 (Ver 2) is reliable on-location in outdoor environments, with similar protection levels to Canon’s professional L-Series lenses.
