GENERAL INFORMATION
FANTASEA F580EX FLASH HOUSING
Fantasea F580EX is a housing designed specifically for the Canon 580EX Speedlight.
The F580EX provides full controls for all flash functions including eTTL when used with Fantasea Canon
DSLR Camera Housings. Kit includes the Fantasea 6 pin sync cable.
GENERAL FLASH HOUSING DESCRIPTION
The
Fantasea F580EX
is rated to a maximum working depth of 60m/200 ft. It is an injection molded plastic
housing, constructed to take the rigorous environments that underwater photographers and outdoor
photographers experience, and will protect the Canon 580EX Speedlight in these demanding activities. The
housing offers push button controls which provide access to the all controls and features of the flash.
When accommodating the Canon 580EX Mark II Speedlite in this housing, the housing provides access to all
important controls except the power switch. Therefore, the flash should be turned on prior to installing it into
the housing. When the flash enters the standby mode during the dive, it can activated again by simply
pushing the camera housing's shutter release control.
GENERAL FLASH DESCRIPTION
New features for full control:
An intuitive and ergonomic interface includes a new select dial for fast and direct control over settings such
as flash exposure compensation. A bounce lock release button provides immediate control over the bounce
head angle and 14 custom functions can be pre-set for fast access to commonly used settings. Despite high
power and short recycling times, the unit is small and lightweight. A new left-right 180˚ bounce allows either
left or right vertical camera orientation. A retractable catch light reflector is built-in for portrait photography.
The Speedlite 580EX is a key component of the integrated flash system for both analogue and digital SLR
cameras, and is fully compatible with the distance linked E-TTL II system found on recent EOS cameras
