Autozoom function for changing the illumination angle in accordance with the lens' angle of view.

When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover the angle of up to that of a 17mm lens. Due to the smaller size of image sensors in most digital SLR cameras, the coverage angle of the flash can effectively reach a wider coverage angle.

The flash head can be tilted up by upto 90 , to the left by 180 , or to the right by 90 . Bounce photography, in which light is reflected off a white wall or the ceiling or a reflector, increases your range of photographic expression. As the flash head can also be tilted down by 7 , light can also be used for close-up shots.

Manual Switching of the amount of light
In manual flash mode, you can set the flash power level of the EF-530 DG ST with two levels : Full power and 1/16.

AF auxiliary light is very convenient for photography in a dark place.
AF may not work appropriately in a dark place. However, the AF auxiliary light mechanism of EF-530 DG ST lets you control AF even in situations where autofocusing is difficult. (With some cameras, AF auxiliary light may not work, please refer to a compatibility table)

Auto Power-Off function prevents wasted power.
Even if the flash is left with the power on, it automatically shuts off, if it is not operated for a certain length of time. This conserves battery power in flash photography. When the shutter button is depressed halfway, the power turns on again, and charging resumes.
