Why Use An External Flash Like The Canon 430 EX II?
For users of camera bodies without a built-in flash at all, the benefits are obvious. But if your camera does have a built-in flash you might be wondering why you would need an external flash unit and what the benefits are.
While the camera built-in flash is sufficient for filling in shadows in a harsh sunlit portrait and has adequate output strength for simple close-up portraits at night, it is simply not functional for anything beyond that. With the built-in flash being very close to the imaging axis, it produces very harsh light on you subject and often causes the dreaded and unwanted red-eye-effect. A second problem is that the output of a built-in flash is typically very low and will not produce sufficiently exposed images beyond about 5 meters.
You can now clearly see the limitations that a basic internal flash presents. If you are serious about flash photography you would greatly benefit from the many advantages an external flash like the Canon Speedlite 430 EX ii offers.
These benefits include an abundance of power, the ability to bounce the light off a ceiling, remote triggering capability, flash head zoom functionality and advanced customizable functions.
