About this product

Product Information

The Canon Speedlite 550ex Flash is an accessory that needs to be in every photographer’s toolbox. It is compatible with type-A EOS Canon cameras for the E-TTL, or evaluative through the lens, auto flash control and with type-B EOS cameras for the TTL auto flash control. The Canon Speedlite 550ex Flash is powerful and easy to use. The E-TTL automatic flash has been refined from earlier flashes and improves the photo quality of nearly every Canon camera. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, adding this flash to your arsenal allows you to take spectacular photographs regardless of the conditions. One neat feature of the Canon 550ex flash is that it also works as a wireless master, allowing you to trigger remote flashes. Additionally, it also works as a slave to other Canon Speedlite 550ex flashes. The features include manual power selection, flash exposure control, and manual zoom settings. This flash also helps with focusing on many Canon cameras as the focus assist light that the flash projects helps cameras focus faster and accurately, even if there is a low contrast surface. This also allows you to bounce the flash off of other surfaces or reflectors. You have the ability to use light softening accessories with this flash. The Canon Speedlite 550ex Flash does a better job of preventing red-eye effects and half-moon shadows than previous digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) flash accessories, meaning it delivers better results and added control to your photography. The Canon Speedlite 550ex specifications include direct-sync, shoe-mount flash with E-TTL auto flash control, wireless transmission, and reception. It also includes E-TTL pre-flash, an autofocus assist beam, auto zoom, and bounce flash. The flash sits well above the lens, which also helps reduce the number of half-moon shadows in your pictures. The auto zoom head covers lens focal lengths of 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 70mm, 80mm, and 105mm automatically. The manual zoom is enabled with a zoom button. The Canon Speedlite 550ex works with up to seven modes, including normal flash, quick flash high-speed sync, stroboscopic flash, pre-flash, test flash, and modeling flash. The stroboscopic flash has 41 frequency settings and 31 firing settings. The flash is powered using four AA LR6 batteries or with a compact battery pack. Most of these features are available if you own a Type-A EOS camera. However, it is possible that some features are unavailable in Type-B cameras. In Type-B cameras, it works as a TTL auto flash unit. This unit is the ideal addition to any photographer’s studio and is suitable for amateurs as well as professionals. It will allow even the most amateur of photographers to take stunning and awe-inspiring images of the people and things in their lives, and may even jumpstart their photography career. It is powerful and creates high-quality pictures when used correctly. The trick to taking great pictures with this flash is simple: know your camera and how it operates. Once you have that understanding, adding this flash to your camera’s accessories is an easy step.

    Good ballance of the most used features for a flash.

    It has a good balnce of the most needed features. FP (high speed shutter sync) wireless capability built in when used with command mode on the camera. I have used it with the Nikon D200 and D300. The head can go bacwards for bonce flash from behind when camera mounted. It has focus assist lighting, multi strobe feature, standby mode to save power, and auto zoom for the beam width. It is also fairly compact.

    It's okay, but the slowish refresh limits its uses.

    This flash is an old design and it's refresh rate is a bit on the slow side compared to new flashes. For studio work or stills it's fine. Definitely wouldn't recommend for events, however.

    Inexpensive Powerhouse

    If you need a flash that "WORKS!", this is an excellent choice. It has master/slave capability and a terrific guide number, combined with reasonable recycle time. The e-TTL feature works perfectly on my units, and output can be adjusted on the camera or directly on the unit using the digital display. It can be purchased for 25 to 50% of the going price of high end units if you shop carefully.

    great product for my canon eos rebel t6

    It mounts on camera easy. At the present time I am only using flash in auto. It really seems to do exactly what it is designed for. I am very pleased with the product. It being used, still looks like new.

    Wide Angle Coverage and Fast Recycle

    The Canon Speedlite 550EX is an work horse when it comes to photography. I love the wide angle aspect of it, as it covers most wide angle lens for splash. It also has a very fast recycle time that allows me to shoot photo after photo.
