Yongnuo YN568EX II | Flash Speedlite for Canon
Yongnuo YN568EX II is a powerful flash unit which is compatible with all Canon cameras that have e-TTL (II)control. It features a powerful guide number of 58m at ISO 100 and 105mm for illuminating your subject along with a zoom head with coverage from 24-105mm. Also, the flash can tilt from -7 to 90° and rotates 360° for versatility in bouncing your light.
Yongnuo YN568EX II is the first e-TTL flash from Yongnuo to feature High Speed Sync (HSS) allowing camera shutter speeds up to 1/8000th of a second. Before releasing Yongnuo YN685 and YN600EX-RT, the YN568EX II was Yongnuo’s top-of-the line flash speedlite for Canon users. It is packed with features, missing only external high voltage battery port.
Yongnuo YN568EX is a great alternative to much more expensive Canon 430EX II or 580EX II flashes. YN568EX II offers the same functions and same or even more power at much lower price. High guide number (58m), Master mode, TTL and HSS (high speed synchronization) make this flash an excellent tool for both professional photographers and advanced amateurs.
Yongnuo YN-568EX II is capable of wireless master and slave TTL functionality when used with other flashes. It is portable by running on 4 AA batteries and it can recycle in maximum 3 seconds when used on full power. Other features packed into this flash include 2nd-curtain sync and a multi-mode. Additionally, it has a 2.5mm sync port for remote triggering and comes with a carrying case and stand.
Yongnuo YN568EX II is a flash similar to YN565EX II with one additional feature which YN565EX II lacks. It is a HSS (high speed synchronization) which gives photographers more creative freedom allowing them to use large apertures on a bright day, or to even overpower the sun with a small speedlite or few.
