## Overview

The Speedlite EL-5 is a portable, high-performance camera flash designed for select Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras. Featuring a powerful Guide Number 58 output, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery enabling up to 350 continuous flashes, and advanced wireless control through the Canon Connect app, it combines flagship-level features with compact convenience to elevate your photography workflow.

## Description

The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that carries over many features from the flagship Speedlite EL-1 with some modern features all its own. For example, the EL-5 uses the same high-capacity LP-EL rechargeable battery. This upgrade alone gives the EL-5 the ability to perform better than any Canon AA-battery powered flash. With this new power, at full manual flash power, you get a recycle time of 1.2 seconds, and up to 350 flashes on a single battery charge. Since the EL-5 does not have an internal fan, all of that power is being used to recycle and fire the flash. Another feature brought over from the EL-1 is the joystick and selection dial so you can effortlessly operate this flash quickly, even while shooting. Additionally, the new Multi-function connector at the EL-5’s “foot” enables advanced communications on cameras equipped with a multi-function shoe.* You can adjust settings for your flash right on your camera touch LCD. Important: because of the transition to Canon’s Multi-function accessory shoe, please be aware that Speedlite EL-5 cannot be mounted or used on Canon cameras with other accessory shoe designs.

## Features

- Advanced Amateur flash with a new multi-function shoe connector for enhanced camera communication and functionality
- The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp
- Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output
- Since the EL-5 does not need to use any power for a fan, all of that power can be used exclusively to charge and fire the flash - increaseing the number of continuous flashes to 350
- Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1
- Battery Pack LP-EL is charged with the Canon LC-E6 charger (not included)
- Utilize the free Canon Connect smartphone app to change settings like flash intensity, flash compensation, sync settings, multi-flash control, and FEB remotely

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing flash
*by D***E on September 11, 2025*

I am happy with this purchase. Recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Canon EL-5 with Canon R6 II better then Godox on camera flash.
*by C***0 on December 23, 2024*

The menu is so user friendly you don’t need to read the manual . Better build, and absolutely stronger then a Godox , also this mount is solid and water proof. and If I need to get support and fix a I can count on Canon repair department . I’m a 50 years veteran photographer I never liked any of the Canon flashes before but this one is a Winner.I can also use Magmod adapter with accessories no problem but it becomes a bit front heavy. I prefer using Wyng bounce device very light. Last the battery is absolutely powerful and recycle time really fastSo far I shot 3 corporate events and the battery was only down one line for for then 500 shots1/8 of power camera was set at 2500 ISO aperture 4.5 Canon lens 24/105 L F 4Hopefully this will help you make a final decision. This is no doubt a great flash very pleased.
