If the bigger 420EZ or 430EZ is not for you and this compact 300EZ may be your choice as the companion flash. Designed exclusively for Canon EOS cameras, this lightweight, compact dedicated flash features an Auto Internal Zoom Mechanism that matches the flash coverage for the lens in use from 28mm-70mm. The 300EZ uses Canon automatic A-TTL operation - the EOS camera measures the ambient light and fires a near-infrared preflash to determine the flash -to-subject distance and set a working aperture. Then, during exposure, SPC photocells measure the light reflected on the film plane and control flash output for perfect flash exposure balanced with the background light. The 300EZ also features a Rapid Fire Flash System which provides flash operation within 1 second of turning on the flash. Flash Duration: 1 m sec or less Flash Control System: TTL series control system with preflash function. Flash Exposure Level Control: A maximum of 1.5 BV steps in the A-TTL mode when subject brightness is more than BV5 according to the camera's metering system. Film Speed Setting: Automatically set by the camera. Automatic Shooting Distance Range: A-TTL normal flash approx. 0.7 to 17m (approx. 2 3 to 55.8 ft) A-TTL rapid-fire flash (min..) approx. 0.7 to 3.9m (approx. 2.3 to 12.8 ft~) A-TTL rapid-fire flash (max.) approx. 0.7 to 12 m (approx. 2.3 to 39.4 ft)
Note: Based on EF 50mm f/1.8 lens at ISO 100. (The automatic shooting distance range extends according to film speed.) Out-of -Coupling Range Warning: If a subject is too far away, the shutter speed and the aperture value blink in the viewfinder at the first stroke of the shutter button. AF Auxiliary Light: Ultra-bright red LED (peak sensitivity: 700nm). Projected at subject for AF flash photography. The effective distance is approx. 0.9-6m (3 -19.7 ft.) Save-Energy Function: Power automatically turns off after five minutes of non-use when the main switch is left on. Ready Lamp: As soon as it glows, the camera automatically switches to flash mode. Yellow-green in the rapid-fire flash status, when sufficiently charged, the color turns to red. Test firing is possible by pressing the ready lamp after flash charge completion. Power Source: Four size-AA 06) alkaline or Ni-Cd batteries. Carbon-zinc batteries may also be used. Dimensions: 66(W) x 89(H) x 100.S(D)mm (2-5/8" y 3-1/2 " x 3-15/16 ft)
