Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Our take on the Canon HF-DC1 by Dave Bar Even if your Canon PowerShot camera has a built-in flash, it may not be strong enough to reach more distant subjects for well lit photos. So give it a helping hand with Canon's high-power add on flash. This handy little device attaches to your cam using the included bracket, and provides up to double the illumination range of you camera's built-in flash. It's automatically triggered by your camera's flash so there are no wires to attach, making it extra-easy to use.

Features Compatibility: The Canon High-Power External Flash (HF-DC1) is intended for use as an attachable supplementary flash for Canon PowerShot series and Digital IXUS series digital cameras. High-Power Flash: Photographic subjects that are too distant for your Canon PowerShot series camera's built-in flash to illuminate can be captured in sharp detail using the Canon HF-DC1 high-power external flash. Flash Range: The range of the flash is approximately twice the size of the range for your Canon camera's built-in flash. Note: The actual range will vary according to such factors as the camera lens brightness (f/ number), the zoom setting, and the ISO sensitivity setting. Controls: The Canon HF-DC1 provides the following control switches. Operation Mode: The Operation Mode switch lets you select between Manual, Auto, and Off mode. In Auto mode, the flash automatically fires and compensates for the illumination of the camera's built-in flash. In Manual mode, the flash only fires and compensates for the illumination of the camera's built-in flash while the pilot lamp is pressed. Flash Intensity: You can adjust the high-power flash's intensity to Minimum, Medium, or Maximum. Tripod Attachment: Your Canon PowerShot series digital camera can still be attached to a tripod with this high-power flash installed, thanks to the included mounting bracket. Installation: Install the HF-DC1, using the included mounting bracket, so that the flash is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the camera's front-panel. Note: Subjects will not be properly illuminated if the flash is misaligned. Battery Powered: The Canon HF-DC1 high-power external flash operates on a single CR123A 3V lithium battery (included). The flash may take up to approximately 7.5 seconds to charge (on a new battery). The unit's pilot lamp will light red when the flash is charged. Note: The battery charge is depleted if the HF-DC1's pilot lamp fails to light more than 10 seconds after the power/mode switch is set to an operating position. Specifications: Guide Number 18 Flash Cycles (Battery Life) 250x or more (with the intensity switch set to Max.) Flash Interval 7.5 seconds or less (with a new battery) Angle of Coverage Covers a 28mm (35mm film equivalent) angle of field Battery CR123A or DL123 lithium battery Weight 3.4 oz (with bracket) Product Reviews Be the first to review this product.
