The Speedlite is Canon’s brand name for its external flash units that work with Canon’s EOS flash system. Canon’s line of new Speedlite flashes is designed to work with its camera hot shoes. When the hot shoe receives signals from the camera, the flash unit produces shorter and more intense bursts of light. Canon’s pre-owned Speedlite flashes are able to produce continuous lighting without compromising the quality of lighting. A Guide Number of 43 powers the Speedlite allowing for bounce flash, allowing the flash head to zoom and shoot with a telephoto lens.
