(For instance, a fully charged battery can be completely drained within 24 hours even when the unit is switched off). I tried to resolve the issue by contacting Canon to see if it could be fixed with a firmware update or any other solution. I also attempted using a brand new battery, but encountered the same problem. Ultimately, I decided to return the Speedlight and ordered a new one directly from Canon. They provided a discount to compensate for the inconvenience and the issue. The new Speedlight is holding its charge just fine; for instance, it only dropped from 98% to 90% over the course of 3 days. I would recommend the Speedlight, but I suggest conducting a test upon receipt and promptly replacing it if you receive a defective unit. Review: Canon EL-5 with Canon R6 II better then Godox on camera flash. - The menu is so user friendly you don’t need to read the manual . Better build, and absolutely stronger then a Godox , also this mount is solid and water proof. and If I need to get support and fix a I can count on Canon repair department . I’m a 50 years veteran photographer I never liked any of the Canon flashes before but this one is a Winner. I can also use Magmod adapter with accessories no problem but it becomes a bit front heavy. I prefer using Wyng bounce device very light. Last the battery is absolutely powerful and recycle time really fast So far I shot 3 corporate events and the battery was only down one line for for then 500 shots 1/8 of power camera was set at 2500 ISO aperture 4.5 Canon lens 24/105 L F 4 Hopefully this will help you make a final decision. This is no doubt a great flash very pleased. ## Features - The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp.* - Utilizing the same high-speed charging circuits as the EL-1 and a lithium-ion battery, the EL-5 acheives a recharge time of 0.1 to 1.2 sec.** - Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output. Great for situations where you always need to be ready. - Since the EL-5 uses the rechargable LP-EL battery, it can emit up to 350 continuous flashes on a single charge - Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BL876KV7 | | Audio Recording | No | | Battery Average Life | 7 days | | Battery life | 7 days | | Best Sellers Rank | #76,359 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #159 in Shoe-Mount Flashes | | Brand | Canon | | Built-In Media | Speedlite EL-5 Flash, Soft Case, Stand, LP-EL Battery Pack | | Camera Flash | external | | Camera flash | external | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Canon EOS R, Canon EOS R3 | | Compatible Mountings | Hot Shoe Mount | | Compatible mountings | Hot Shoe Mount | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Continuous shooting speed | 95 FPS | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic, TTL | | Flash Sync Speed | 1/200s or 1/250s | | Flash sync speed | 1/200s or 1/250s | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013803352238 | | Guide Number | 58 | | Hardware Interface | USB Docking Station | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Included components | Speedlite EL-5 Flash, Soft Case, Stand, LP-EL Battery Pack | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.1D x 6.6W x 9.1H centimeters | | Item Weight | 490 Grams | | Light Sensitivity | Wide | | Manufacturer | Canon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5654C002 | | Maximum Shutter Speed | 1/200s or 1/250s | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Shutter Speed | 1/240s | | Model Name | Canon Speedlite EL-5 | | Model Number | 5654C002 | | Mount Type | Hot Shoe Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

It only works with new Canon cameras with the multi-function shoe. You can find a list of compatible cameras on the Canon specs page for the EL-5. **Q: Hi. does this flash work on the canon eos r camera? not the canon eos r line, the actual canon eos r model camera.** A: It's only compatible with newer cameras (R7,R10,R3,R6II) with the multi-function hotshoe. **Q: The EL-5 doesn't come with a charger? Can it be charged installed using USB?** A: EL-5 doesn't come with a charger and has no USB port. You can use LC-E6 or LC-E6E to charge the battery. My R6 mark II comes with LC-E6E so I don't have to buy another one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful Flash with Battery Drain Caveat *by I***A on 14 March 2024* The Speedlight is awesome, but I found a common issue with fast battery draining both for myself and on the internet.
