The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is a high-powered compact flash that features a guide number of 43 (m/ISO 100 at 105mm) and an inbuilt wide panel to allow coverage suitable for wide angle lenses to 14mm. Offering fast recycling times and a silent recycling process, it also enables full control via the menu system of compatible EOS cameras. A new metal mounting foot with redesigned connection pins provides ultra-stable communication between the camera and flash for rapid connection to the camera. A new quick release and locking mechanism is also incorporated.

Used in Manual mode, the Speedlite 430EX II offers settings in 1/3 stop increments for increased precision of operation. The Speedlite 430EX II can also help to optimise the white balance setting for each individual image when the camera is set to Auto WB or Flash Mode. When mounted to compatible EOS digital cameras, the Speedlite 430EX II detects whether the sensor is full frame, APS-C or APS-H. The flash�fs zoom position is then automatically adjusted, optimising flash coverage and the amount of charge needed per shot. Other features includes 1st and 2nd curtain flash synchronisation, exposure compensation, and an expanded range of nine custom functions.
