The Speedlite 580EX II is Canon’s flagship flash unit that delivers the high performance and reliability professionals have come to expect. It is fully E-TTL II-compatible with the EOS-1D Mark III and retains the superior features of the EX series. Higher dust- and water-resistance are enhancements that offer more reasons to rely on this flash unit, a feature developed in conjunction with the new Compact Battery Pack CP-E4, Off-Camera Shoe Cord OC-E3, and the camera’s hot shoe.

Resistance to dust and water are highly assured with sealed surfaces for enhanced external component connection and elimination of the slide switch. Peripherals like the OC-E3 are also made dust- and water-resistant. Use of stronger material in the camera shoe and mounting foot plus other improvements add up to improved contact reliability. Operation is made even more user-friendly with flash settings now manipulated from the camera’s menu screen (“External Speedlite control”) and the TFT monitor used to input them from the menu.

Handling ease is further seen in the Quick-Lock System, which holds both flash and camera steady by locking or releasing the Speedlite 580EX II simply with a mounting foot lock lever. Further enhancements include modification of the battery cover and a 20% reduction in recycling time. Battery cover construction is now vertically hinged for greater reliability and ease, and a locking mechanism now prevents sudden opening of the compartment. All these new features, plus silent recycling enabled by Canon technology, mean that professionals have more reasons to rely on the Speedlite user-interfaces.
