Speedlite 580EX II
Product Information Specifications
Drivers / Support  
 
  • E-TTL II evaluative flash metering for critically accurate exposure
  • High output with maximum guide number 58 at 105mm setting (ISO 100, metres)
  • Autozoom and colour temperature information for improved flash with selected digital SLR cameras
  • Fully featured wireless flash capability, with built-in slave and transmitter, using multiple Speedlites
  • Dust and water resistance improves reliability under harsh conditions
  • Metal mounting foot with new locking mechanism improves connection and communication reliability

Powerful and Efficient

  • E-TTL II flash metering utilising lens distance information with pre-flash to balances flash with ambient light for more evenly lit and natural looking photos even if the subject includes highly reflective objects
  • High power flash output with maximum guide number of 58 at 105mm setting (ISO 100, metres)
  • Highly efficient power supply design providing up to 20% improvement in flash recycle time
  • Autozoom control with selected digital SLR cameras to automatically match the flash head to the effective focal length of the camera ensuring greater accuracy and optimal output
  • Colour temperature information transmission with selected digital SLR cameras ensuring optimal colour balance setting for flash output

    Professional Features
  • High-speed (FP) sync mode, Flash Exposure Bracketing (FEB) and Flash Exposure (FE) Lock
  • Built-in transmitter and receiver offering fully wireless automatic flash with up to three groups of multiple Speedlites that can be controlled from the 580EX II or optional Wireless Transmitter ST-E2
  • Manual flash output between 1/1 to 1/128 in 1/3 stop increments
  • Stroboscopic flash output between ¼ to 1/128 with frequency range of 1 to 199Hz
