On Camera Flashes

As the Canon top-of-the-line flash for the EOS-system, the Speedlite 580EX II takes the best features from existing models and adds functionality that enhances digital photography. A more powerful flash with a maximum guide number of 190' (58 m) at ISO 100 (at 105mm focal length), faster recycling, more consistent color and enhanced controls are among the improvements that all photographers, especially those who shoot digital, will find useful. The 580EX version II offers several improvements over the original 580EX version. It has been redesigned to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, a metal hot shoe, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible. The flash supports all current versions of TTL, including evaluative E-TTL II. This is great for photographers that shoot high contrast or reflective subjects, like those encountered in wedding photography. Photographers can now capture every detail from the black of tuxedos to the white of wide smiles and wedding dresses. Compatibility The Speedlite 580EX flash is compatible with Canon's E-TTL II (Evaluative Through The Lens) auto exposure technology. When combined with a compatible Canon camera (EOS-1D/s Mark II, Mark III, D-20, Elan 7N/E, or newer models) and compatible lens, E-TTL II utilizes subject distance and other information that automatically modifies flash power, resulting in accurate flash exposure regardless of subject size, reflectance, or photographic composition. Multiple Flash Exposure Modes E-TTL II, E-TTL, TTL & Manual Faster Recycling Time Improved power supply design provides up to 25% improvement in flash recycle time Built-in AF-assist beam compatible with EOS multi-point AF systems including 45-point Area AF types Built-in catchlight reflector allows a catchlight to be added quickly and conveniently to portraits Professional Modes FE Lock - Flash exposure lock FP Mode, or high-speed sync, allows the camera to sync with flash at higher shutter speeds Second-curtain sync fires the flash at the end of the exposure, allowing streak of light to flow naturally behind the movement of the subject Wireless TTL flash when triggered by other on-camera 580EX; or when combined with ST-E2 Transmitter & multiple 580 or 550 EX's Stroboscopic mode shows several minute flashes continuously to easily view flash effect FEB - Flash Exposure Bracketing 14 Custom Functions that provide maximum control over various flash functions Ratio flash lighting of up to 8:1 when used with ST-E2 Transmitter & multiple 550 or 580EX's When color temperature data is automatically transmitted from the 580EX, the camera sets the color balance for the optimal flash shot

The Olympus FL-14 Flash is a basic but efficient TTL unit for use on the E-P1 Pen or any other Olympus digital camera with TTL capacity. Short and wide with a black and silver color to match the E-P1's aesthetics, the FL-14 provides excellent efficiency with just 2 small "AAA" batteries. With straight-forward controls and TTL flash exposure when mounted on the E-P1 or other Olympus digitals, the FL-14 won't intimidate the casual user while still providing perfectly-exposed images with 14mm and longer lenses. Styling & Shape Perfectly Fitted to the E-P1 Pen Camera The FL-14's short height and silver-and-black color scheme's an ideal match to the tiny E-P1 Pen camera. 3 Selectable Flash Modes Mount the FL-14 directly on the E-P1 (or other Olympus TTL-enabled digital cameras) for perfect TTL exposure, or use "Auto" thyristor-enabled autoexposure and "Manual" full-power flash if preferred. Thrifty on Power The FL-14 makes 80 full-power flashes with two tiny "AAA" batteries, and 130 flashes with most NiMH units. In TTL mode at moderate 200-400 ISO settings you will get even more flashes on a single set of "AAA" batteries. Simple Fixed Coverage The FL-14's a no-fuss device; it has a fixed 70 x 55° illumination beam that will fully illuminate the field of view of a 14mm lens on the E-P1 camera.

The Olympus FL-36R TTL Shoe Mount Flash is a compact and lightweight shoe mount flash that also offers wireless flash operation. Control is possible directly from the camera without the need for cables. This flash unit is the ideal accompaniment to the Olympus E-3, which features a newly-developed RC Data Transfer System that transmits data optically. This significantly reduces the power consumption of the built-in flash when being used as the system commander. Flash control is available in three groups, allowing flash mode and compensation settings to be set independently for each group - thus enabling ultra-precise illumination. Four remote control communication channels can be set by the user to avoid interference with other peripherals in the vicinity. The FL-36 Electronic Flash is specifically designed for digital cameras, with an accurate 1/8 step illumination control to provide the precision required by digital cameras, while minimizing illumination reduction. The built-in wide-angle diffuser panel will allow the flash to provide even illumination with wide angle lenses like the Zuiko Digital 14mm-45mm zoom. The inclusion of a lockable bounce and swivel mechanism offers a variety of bounce photography options including left-right, as well as top-bottom in addition to a compact zoom head to accommodate lenses from wide angle to telephoto. The FL-36R also features an energy circuit that improves recharge rates and enables the flash to operate on just two AA batteries or one CR-3 volt lithium. The FL-36 is compact, lightweight and extremely portable, and is approximately 25% shorter and 35% lighter than the larger FL-50 flash, a significant space and weight savings. Selectable Flash Modes With several different TTL and manual modes available, you will always get the right amount of control for your shooting needs. Flash Modes include TTL Auto, Auto, Manual, FP TTL Auto, FP Manual, RC, SL Auto, SL Manual. Compact and Lightweight Design The smaller size and lighter weight of the flash (as compared to the FL-50) is well suited to the latest E-series digital cameras. Super-Energy-Saving Circuitry The Super-Energy-Saving circuitry improves recharge rates and enables the flash to operate on just two AA batteries or one CR-V3 (LB-01) lithium battery. Variable Coverage Angle Flash coverage is automatically adjusted to the image area in several steps during zooming. Variable and Controllable Output With the Olympus digital SLR, you can adjust the flash intensity in 1/3 EV steps, and it also offers features such as red-eye reduction, slow synchronization and second curtain synchronization.

The FL-50R flash offers all the features a professional wants to produce professional-caliber results. Along with the standard bounce and swivel capability, power zoom and a full range of TTL Automatic, Automatic and Manual flash modes, the FL-50R offers the Super FP Mode. This allows for flash sync at speeds up to 1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used in the brightest of situations. This is achieved by the flash's ability to fire before the shutter opens and stay illuminated until after the shutter closes. Designed specifically for digital photography, the FL-50R flash also has more even illumination with less corner fall-off than traditional film flashes. Super FP Mode The Super FP Mode allows for flash sync at speeds up to 1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used in the brightest of situations. AF Illuminator Automatically emits light in low illumination when connected to the camera with communications capabilities to assist the autofocus system of the camera in low light. Illuminated LCD Display The illuminated Flash Control LCD makes it easy to see what the flash settings are in a low light environment
