New External Flash Unit Features Wireless Flash
Shooting and Compact Size
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.
Pricing and Availability
The new Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT flash is scheduled to be
available in September 2015 for an estimated retail price of
$299.99*. For more information please visit:
