For users of
digital cameras, flash is an important tool to help us obtain additional light if we are shooting in dark light conditions. In general, digital cameras include internal flash is obtained in the camera body. This includes to point and shoot cameras, prosumer and
DSLR. Especially for prosumer and DSLR, usually have no place to hotshoe mounted flash or external.
In 2011, Canon is quite famous for its wide range of DSLR cameras started to introduce a new type of flash that I think is quite unique, the
Canon Speedlite 320EX. This flash has a guide number 32. For information, previously Canon already has two types of flash which is quite popular
Speedlite 580EX II is the guide number 190 (on 105mm/ISO 100) and the S
peedlite 430EX II with a guide number 141 (on 105mm/ISO 100), while the Speedlite 320EX has a guide number 105 (in 105mm/ISO 100). Indeed, Canon's ability to condition number representing the flash type, the greater the number type, then the stronger the ability of flash.
Unlike the
Speedlight 430EX II, 320EX II Speedlight for not having an LCD rear section, so it only consists of buttons for the operation of the flash and LED indicator lights that flash is ready for use, but wireless functionality with support for 3 groups remain available on the Speedlight 320EX II.
One of the advantages that do not exist in other types of Canon Flash function is the availability of the build in LED light which is at the front of the Speedlight 320EX II flash. This is very helpful to provide continuous light on the object that will be in shoot using a video recording mode. Perhaps this is because the current Canon improvement almost all types of Canon DSLR can record live video from the camera, so that the light should be available to continue the external flash. If we use continuous light from the LED front
Speedlight 320EX II, the LED flash can survive for about 4 hours with a condition that has been charged AA battery full.
