Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI Camera Flash

Take the fuss out of flash with a Speedlite that helps you light like a pro

This powerful mid-range Speedlite offers an exciting way to take professionally-lit images quickly. Thanks to a motorised bounce and swivel head that automatically adjusts itself to ensure the correct angle, natural flattering, lighting is assured.

A flash that reacts

The motorised flash head automatically adjusts itself, ensuring the bounce angle is always correct for improved lighting where natural and professional looking flash images are required.

Powerful, flexible and quick to adjust

With a Guide Number of 47m the Speedlite 470EX-AI is ideal for lighting large groups and bouncing light from walls and ceilings for softer, more natural results.

A Smart Flash with Smart Specs

Beyond its distinct automated capabilities, the 470EX-AI is also distinguished by its apt flash specs, including E-TTL/E-TTL II compatibility, a guide number of 47m at ISO 100 and 105mm, a zoom head with coverage from 24-105mm, and a pull-out diffuser to widen this coverage to 14mm. Manual stepless adjustment over bounce is possible with a tilting range up to 120° along with +/- 180° rotation, and off-camera triggering is possible using the optical slave mode.

Light further and wider

A built-in zoom head aims to match the angle of the flash’s output to the viewing angle of the lens being used, and operates across a 24-105mm zoom range (full frame equivalent).

Clear, detailed display

The dot-matrix display enables a display of characters for more detailed information while the LCD panel displays all the flash settings and is very easy to read.

Creative lighting possibilities

The Speedlite 470EX-AI can be fired off-camera using optical triggering. This allows EOS cameras featuring a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter to fire the flash from up to 10m away, without the need for extra equipment.
