Camera Flash
YN-565EX CLS / Speedlite

Guide number 58 for ISO100

YN-565EX CLS / Speedlite dedicated for Nikon

The YongNuo 565EX is designed as a camera flash for the most demanding photographers. It can work on a camera's hot shoe in i-TTL, systems as well as wirelessly in CLS (Creative Lighting System) Nikon or Speedlite Canon. It makes the full automatic correction for Canon and Nikon systems possible.

In a slave mode, the flash can work i.e. with the SB-900/800/700 system camera flashes and with cameras working in CLS (Creative Lighting System) and with the Canon 580EX II camera flash, the ST-E2 transmitter and the Canon Speedlite cameras.

The flash settings can be controlled with Nikon i-TTL, CLS and the Canon Speedlite system cameras.

The YN-565EX has an in-built photocell so in the S1 mode it is triggered with other flash, even the pop-up one. In the S2 mode it can be triggered by pop-up lamps that emit the preflashes because it does not react to them.

This camera flash has very high guide number (58GN for ISO 100) what significantly improves taking photos in poor light conditions. Additionally, it supports the autofocus making it much faster even when the scene is dark. The flash head has the swivel and bounce ability which allows more creativity by reflecting the light. It is also zoomable (automatically or manually) and has in-built photocell, diffuser and reflector and a metal shoe.

Easily legible highlighted LCD screen displays actual and precise parameters of the lamp. There is also a sound that informs about loading and readiness which can be turned on or off.

The YN-565EX is undoubtfully one of the most interesting options for the photographers who want to use their camera flash as the basic light source so they need full automatics as well as the possibility of setting the parameters manually. The flash power can be reduced up to 1/128 which allows to adjust it precisely to the situation. The lamp has also a sync PC socket and a slot to attach a CP-E3 or CP-E4 typebattery pack. Using a battery pack makes the flash fully recycle about 30% faster and, which is more important, it replicates much more effectively in a series mode. Without a battery pack the flashes limit in the series mode is 5, but when we use it, the limit rises to 18.
