Product Information

The Canon Speedlite 270EX II Flash can be a high performance, ultra lightweight, ultra compact shoe mount flash unit with remote control shooting capabilities. This Speedlite can be capable of vertically bouncing light up to 90 degrees, which can open up bigger creative possibilities for flash photography shooters. When used with Canon EOS DSLR cameras that are equipped with a master function capability, the Canon Speedlite 270EX II Flash can activate its slave function to give you more control. The 270EX II has a dedicated switch that activates and deactivates its slave function. The Canon Speedlite 270EX II Flash can be controlled wirelessly using either a built in or external controller. The controller uses light and line of sight to wirelessly control the 270EX II, although strategically bouncing off light also works in certain situations. There is no commander or master function for the Canon Speedlite 270EX II. However, it can still be used to trigger a DSLR’s built in flash. There is a small button placed at the side of the 270EX II that turns the flash unit into a wireless remote control. However, this function only works with EOS cameras that are also compatible with Canon’s RC-6 controllers. The controller has a two second delay.

In addition, the 270EX II charges silently. On Normal Flash, the speedlite’s recycling time is approximately 0.1-3.9 seconds, while on Quick Flash. the recycling time is 0.1-2.6 seconds.
