Yongnuo YN-565CII Flash for Canon

High Power and Precise Control

The Yongnuo YN565EX III flash for Canon cameras features a high guide number of GN 58 (ISO 100, 105 mm), providing powerful illumination. Flash power can be precisely adjusted from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3 EV steps, allowing accurate exposure control for various scenes.

Operation Modes

• Manual Mode (M): Full user control over flash power settings.
• Stroboscopic Mode (Multi): Fires multiple flashes during a single exposure to capture motion creatively.
• Automatic Mode (E-TTL): Automatically adjusts flash power based on camera metering, ideal for fast-paced shooting like weddings and reportage.

Multiple Triggering Methods

• ISO hot shoe for direct camera or radio trigger connection.
• PC sync connector for wired triggering.
• Optical flash control system compatible with Canon and Nikon flashes (Sn and Sc modes).
• Traditional flash triggering modes S1 and S2, using photocell detection of other flashes.

Flash Power Compensation (FEC)

Allows adjustment of flash output in E-TTL mode to underexpose or overexpose the subject by exposure value steps, enabling creative control over lighting.

Flash Power Bracketing (FEB)

Automatically fires three consecutive flashes at different power levels (underexposed, correct, overexposed) to increase the chance of a well-exposed image in challenging lighting.

First or Second Curtain Synchronization

Supports both first-curtain (flash at exposure start) and second-curtain (flash at exposure end) sync modes, enabling creative effects such as motion trails behind moving subjects.

Flash Direction and Angle

The flash head offers vertical tilt from -7° to 90° and horizontal swivel up to 270°, with automatic and manual zoom settings (24, 28, 35, 50, 70, 80, 105 mm), diffuser, and reflector for versatile lighting control.

Continuous Ready Performance

Recharge time between full power flashes is approximately 2 seconds, allowing near-continuous shooting.

Power Supply

Powered by four AA batteries or rechargeable cells, compatible worldwide. Includes an energy-saving auto-off function during inactivity.

Enhanced Performance

Supports connection of external battery packs or power banks (e.g., YN5200) to reduce recycle time and extend operation without battery changes.

AF Assist

Equipped with a front-facing autofocus assist LED to improve focusing in low light conditions.

Easy Control Interface

Features a backlit LCD display and intuitive menus for easy navigation. Large buttons allow operation even with gloves. Beep sounds indicate flash readiness and can be toggled. Compatible with newer Canon cameras for flash control via camera menu.

Durability and Protection

Constructed with high-quality materials and includes an advanced overheating protection system that limits functions and alerts the user to prevent damage.

Firmware Updates

Mini-USB port allows firmware updates to maintain compatibility with new camera models.
