Canon Speedlite 430EX review
This exciting addition to the EOS System combines compact size and
affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving
on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the 430EX can now be set into
manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the
flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible.
Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is
compatible with Canon’s wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an
affordable "slave unit."
Significantly greater user control via new LCD panel on rear of flash
Wide-angle pull-down panel covers 14mm lens (on a full-frame camera)
Slightly higher max. guide number at 105mm setting (GN 141-feet, at ISO
100)
Auto conversion of flash zoom coverage with compatible digital SLRs
White balance info communicated instantly to compatible digital SLRs
Bounce upward to 90°; swivel right (to 90°) and left (to 180°)
14% lighter and approx. 25% smaller in overall volume than top-of-the-line
580EX
Six flash custom functions built into the 430EX (set on rear LCD panel)
