Product Description

This attachable supplementary flash can be used to capture photographic subjects that are too distant for the built-in flash to illuminate. The range of the flash is approximately twice the range of the camera's built-in flash. This figure will vary according to such factors as the camera lens brightness (f/number), the zoom setting and the ISO speed setting.

From the Manufacturer
In a first for its digital camera line-up, Canon has introduced an optional zoom flash, the HF-DC1. Linked to the zoom lens, the zoom mechanism narrows the flash's angle of throw to extend flash range at the telephoto end and further extends the options for night and indoor shooting. With a guide number of 18 (ISO 100 meters), the slave flash automatically fires in-sync with the camera's in-built flash, ignoring any pre-flash. It can be adjusted to three power output settings based on the aperture value of the camera. The unit attaches to the camera with a supplied bracket that maintains the ability to mount both camera and flash on a tripod.

Canon HF-DC1 Flash
I have had already this flash and give it away to my niece who loves photography. Since then, my flash shots were sort of 'anemic' on brightness; that is why I bought it again for my SD40 Elph camera. Nice product.....

Canon High Power Flash
What a difference this flash has made in my inside house photos. As a realtor, the house photos are so very important as the first step to finding a buyer for a home since 87% start their search on the internet and will only view homes with photos, so they better be good!!!
