About this product

Product Information

This attachable supplementary flash can be used to capture photographic subjects that are too distant for the built-in flash to illuminate. The range of the flash is approximately twice the range of the camera's built-in flash. This figure will vary according to such factors as the camera lens brightness (f/number), the zoom setting and the ISO speed setting.

Canon Slave Flash
This is a great, small, light weight flash that fires itself when it senses another flash in the room. Don't be misled into thinking there is some sort of electronic connection between this flash unit and the camera. It has no bluetooth or radio signal or wire connection. It optically senses another flash and it then flashes simultaneously. It works very well and recharges in a few seconds with a fresh battery. The only confusion is in the setting for the flash intensity. A few trial shots will end the guessing game and there are three different levels of flash intensity to choose from. This flash unit can also be placed elsewhere in a room as a back lighting or long distance lighting as long as it "sees" the camera flash. If you are aware of subtle differences in the lighting of your photographs, you will appreciate the usefulness of this unit and be able to take advantage of what it is capable of. Remember, it is another piece of equipment to have with you so it requires some effort to use in that respect. I used it to take photos of the auditorium stage from the 17th row back and the small on-camera flash hardly lit past 10 feet. This unit just lit up everything on stage enough to get good photos.
