The old page led with V860III-C after a fake endurance test. The pop-up is GN 6; EL-10 is the bounce Speedlite built for this foot.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether the built-in GN 6 is enough<\/h3><p>Canon USA: about 6 m \/ 19.7 ft at ISO 100, 5 s recycle, 18 mm coverage. That is fill on the kit zoom, not ceiling bounce. Buy EL-10 when the head needs to tilt.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why no flash in electronic shutter<\/h3><p>Canon Europe: flash photography is not available with electronic shutter. B&#038;H lists 23 fps on that shutter. Use mechanical 15 fps or electronic first-curtain at 1\/250 sync.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether EL-5 needs firmware 1.3.0<\/h3><p>Yes. Canon\u2019s table and the 1.3.0 firmware note add EL-5. AF-assist-beam automatic intensity adjustment is not supported. EL-10 is the smaller 21-pin default on this body.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether older Speedlites need AD-E1<\/h3><p>Canon\u2019s R10 shoe page: EL-1, 600EX II-RT, ST-E3-RT, and OC-E3 do not mount directly. EL-10 and EL-5 use the multi-function foot. Godox V1-C \/ TT685II-C are conventional E-TTL II feet.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Canon Speedlite EL-10<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 21-pin shoe, GN 40, AA, Canon radio.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Canon+Speedlite+EL-10&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Godox V1-C<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 76 Ws round head, HSS, X-radio ~100 m.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+V1-C&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Godox TT685II-C<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 GN 60, four AAs, E-TTL II + HSS.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+TT685II-C&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"verdict-summary\">For the EOS R10, buy Canon Speedlite EL-10.
