Shoe mount flash EF-X500<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The EF-X500 is a hot-shoe mount flash with the maximum guide number of approx. 50 (ISO100\u00b7m) \/ 164 (ISO100\u00b7ft). Its support for the FP mode (high-speed flash sync) means the flash can be fired at any shutter speed. This means you can concentrate on shooting when a faster shutter speed is required, for example, in order to use a near-maximum aperture to produce beautiful bokeh. EF-X500 also supports multi-flash lighting. Set up multiple flashes to freely control light on a subject and background for a creative result. TTL lighting control is available with single flash and also in the multi-flash setup, so that you can start shooting without having to make cumbersome adjustments to light output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot-shoe mount flash EF-X500 enables flash photography at high shutter speeds or using multiple units in sync.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FP flash (high-speed flash sync)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With cameras equipped with a focal plane shutter, when the shutter speed is high, the first and second shutter curtains move across at the same time, making the exposure through a narrow vertical slit between them. Because of this, light from a conventional flash can only reach a small section of the sensor. This is why a slower shutter speed must be used in flash photography, with the range of available shutter speeds severely limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EF-X500 supports the FP mode (high-speed flash sync), in which the flash outputs continuous light while the first and second curtains travel across the sensor, thereby enabling flash photography at any shutter speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When shooting with a near-maximum aperture to create beautiful bokeh, the shutter speed tends to go higher. This flash mode frees photographers from having to be conscious about shutter speed limitations, and instead allows them to focus on shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wireless multi-flash TTL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EF-X500 can be used in multi-flash setup to freely control light on a subject and background for a creative result. TTL lighting control is available with single flash and also in the multi-flash setup, so that you can start shooting without having to make cumbersome adjustments to light output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple flashes can be controlled in up to three groups, each of which can be set up to have different light output, allowing you to fine-tune the space of light. As the light output can also be adjusted from the camera, you don\u2019t need to set it down for lighting control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
