Speedlite 580EX E-TTL II Flash Review
As the Canon top-of-the-line flash for the EOS-system,
the Speedlite 580EX II takes the best features from existing models and
adds functionality that enhances digital photography. A more powerful flash with
a maximum guide number of 191'/58 m at ISO 100 (at 105mm focal length), faster
recycling, more consistent color and enhanced controls are among the
improvements that all photographers, especially those who shoot digital, will
find useful.
The 580EX version II offers several improvements over the
original 580EX version. It has been redesigned to match with the EOS-1D Mark III
in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability
to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III
only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its
direct contacts, a metal hot shoe, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than
the 580EX and is completely inaudible.
The flash supports all current versions of TTL, including
evaluative E-TTL II. This is great for photographers that shoot high contrast or
reflective subjects, like those encountered in wedding photography.
Photographers can now capture every detail from the black of tuxedos to the
white of wide smiles and wedding dresses.
Key Features |
• |
Compatibility |
|
The Speedlite 580EX flash is compatible with Canon's E-TTL
II (Evaluative Through The Lens) auto exposure technology. When combined
with a compatible Canon camera (EOS-1D/s Mark II, Mark III, D-20, Elan
7N/E, or newer models) and compatible lens, E-TTL II utilizes subject
distance and other information that automatically modifies flash power,
resulting in accurate flash exposure regardless of subject size,
reflectance, or photographic composition. |
