Canon Speedlite 430EX manufacturers description
The Speedlite 430EX improves on many
specifications of its predecessor, the 420EX, and includes new features to
maximise digital image quality when using a flash. These include automatic
selection of camera white balance settings, and auto-adjustment of the zoom
flash position to match the sensor size of the camera to which the unit is
attached. The Speedlite 430EX has increased its guide number to 43 (m/ISO 100
at 105mm), and has approximately 40% faster recycling time than the Speedlite
420EX.
An ultra-bright 2-LED configuration focus
assist-beam has been designed to be compatible with all focus points within
the frame of all EOS AF systems, up to 9-point AF.
Optimum flash coverage
The flash head zoom covers the range 24mm to
105mm and an integrated diffusion panel allows extended wide-angle coverage to
14mm. When attached to digital EOS cameras with smaller than full-frame
sensors (such as the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS 20D and EOS 350D) the Speedlite
430EX gives a more accurate flash coverage by detecting the model to which it
is attached and automatically narrowing the angle of coverage. This has the
effect of eliminating light loss in peripheral areas and extending the
effective flash range.
Ideal white balance
The Speedlite 430EX automatically transfers
color temperature information to recent models of digital SLR cameras . The
camera then sets the white balance optimally for the flash shot. This feature
works when the camera's white balance mode is set to Auto White Balance (AWB)
or Flash white balance mode.
E-TTL II
The Speedlite 430EX is fully compatible with
the distance linked E-TTL II system found on recent EOS cameras, and supports
other EOS cameras that do not support E-TTL II, when required. For a complete
multiple flash system, the Speedlite 430EX serves as a wireless slave when
either the Speedlite 580EX, Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX, Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX
or Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 is used as a master.
Upgrade for control
An intuitive and ergonomic interface includes
an LCD panel for clear indication of modes and settings. A single bounce lock
release button provides immediate control over the bounce head angle for
flexible positioning of the flash head. The flash head can be moved up from 0
– 90degrees (5 settings), left from 0 – 180degrees (7 settings) and right from
0 – 90degrees (4 settings). 6 custom functions allow customisation of the
flash operations. Despite high power and short recycling times, the unit is
small and lightweight.
Fully synchronized
Features include 1st and 2nd curtain flash
synchronization, and manual adjustment of flash output from full to 1/64 power
(7 levels).
Accessories
An optional Speedlite Bracket SB-E1 allows
the flash unit to be mounted to one side of the camera. Designed specifically
for press and wedding photographers, it eliminates the red-eye that can occur
when mounting a flash on the axis of the lens, such as on the camera hot shoe.
Flash batteries are replaceable without removing the unit from the bracket.
