MELVILLE, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
announced the new Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT external flash unit
featuring – for the first time in the Canon 430EX series –
radio-controlled wireless flash shooting capabilities1 designed
to make creative light control more manageable and versatile for
photographers of all levels. This third generation Speedlite is a
perfect primary flash unit for amateur and advanced amateur
photographers looking to create beautiful portraits with Canon digital
cameras such as the EOS Rebel T6i, as well as professional photographers
looking for a small and lightweight secondary flash.
“Canon is proud to offer outstanding photographic accessories that help
enhance a photographer’s overall creative experience when shooting with
our EOS DSLR cameras,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. “The new Speedlite 430EX III-RT provides photographers with
a very responsive flash unit having new wireless capabilities that
enable users to create more professional lighting effects than if they
were to rely on their camera’s pop-up flash alone.”
Featuring enhanced functionality and operability over its predecessor
(the Canon Speedlite 430EX II), the new Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT
features wireless flash shooting via optical or radio transmission
(similar to the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT but slave function only), now
with shorter recycling time and quicker firing. This multi-functional
flash unit makes more advanced flash shooting easy for any photographer
with its intuitive, user-friendly operation, abundant bounce and swivel
shooting functions and advanced features including a maximum Guide
Number of 43/141 at ISO 100 in meters/feet, auto zooming from 24-105mm,
Hi-Speed Sync and Second-curtain Sync. In addition, the Speedlite 430EX
III-RT has been reduced in size and weight compared to its predecessor.
Featuring another first for the 430EX series of flash units, the Canon
Speedlite 430EX III-RT also includes an SCF-E2 Color Filter which helps
balance color temperature when shooting in incandescent lighting, an
SBA-E2 Bounce Adapter that helps soften light while helping suppress
shadows, a built-in Catchlight panel, illuminated dot-matrix LCD, new
control dial, light distribution options, multi-camera sync shooting,
and remote shutter release. Enhanced functions include broader bounce
angle range and flash exposure compensation via the new control dial.
Also included are two cases - one for the flash and one for the filter
and adapter.
