SPEEDLITE 220EX

Twice the power of a built-in flash, but only half that of the 420EX. Useful for fill-in flash outdoors or subjects within 3 or 4 metres indoors. The fixed head means you need Off Camera Shoe Cord for bounce flash photography. High speed (FP) synchronisation. Flash exposure compensation.
