This is an article about Yongnuo YN-565 EX review where I’ll discuss about the pricing, description of the flash , it’s technical specification some of the most common DSLR cameras that are compatible with this particular flash model.

Yongnuo YN-565 EX review about electronic company "Yongnuo", who are based in China. Not long ago, they have unveiled the details of their first product Yongnuo YN -565 EX in their upcoming EX-series of wireless flashes. Yongnuo has really stepped up their game with this new YN-565 EX, providing a fantastic build that feels very similar to the Canon 580EX II which is the top notch in Canon gear.

Based on the same body as their existing YN-560 manual flash, the Yongnuo YN-565 EX promises the same energy with the addition of automatic TTL and wireless infrared control.

The Yongnuo YN-565 EX ETTL Flash for Canon and Nikon is also quite nice. There are many other features which were only available in Canon’s top flashes are also included in the Yongnuo YN-565 EX such as PC sync and External Power port option. There are two models, one for Canon and one for Nikon, compatible with TTL hot shoes of each brand and capable of acting as a wireless flash commander (master). On top of it, any YN-565 EX will have the capability of acting as a slave for either system, so a Nikon YN-565 EX will be able to receive Canon E-TTL wireless signals and vice versa.

For an on camera flash with Canon DSLRs, it works seamlessly for the average consumer. In ETTL mode, communication with the camera are recognized including Zoom Distance, Aperture, and Flash compensation. Be advised that this flash does not have an HSS option.

Yongnuo YN-565 EX review - Yongnuo Features

Yongnuo YN-565 EX Technical Specifications:

  • "Simultaneous support" for Canon/Nikon wireless flash systems: controllable from Canon ST-E2, 580EX II, 7D and 60D, or Nikon SB-900/800/700, pop-up flash Commander and SU-800.

  • Guide number (GN) 58 @ ISO100, 105mm

  • Electronic zoom range of 24-105mm. Zoom focal lengths can match camera lens or be selected manually.

  • 3 second recycle time

  • Metal hot shoe

  • LCD screen

  • Wireless flash master/commander for Canon or Nikon (depending on model)

  • TTL, Manual and Multi (stroboscopic) modes

  • Printor/Computer (PC) synchronisation port

When used off camera, the Yongnuo YN- 565 flash can be set to Slave mode and triggered from a variety of Canon Master or Nikon Commander type triggers. Although you can fire the flash remotely, more testing needs to be done to see if ETTL is still working wirelessly.

Since this Yongnuo YN-565 EX can be triggered through a Canon Master, this should (ideally) work to be triggered from the ‘built in’ wireless triggers from the Canon 7D and Canon 60D cameras (make sure you turn on the flash trigger in menu option). Most likely T3i may also have this option.

Yongnuo 565-EX Review – Price:

The average price for new Yongnuo 565-EX are approximately USD 150.00 – USD 200.00, and the reason they vary is due to their location and delivery charges. Some vendors give you free delivery so appears to be little bit more expensive, and other do charge you delivery but appears bit cheaper at first glance. If you’re looking to get one, then simply go to YongNuoFlashReview.Com.

With all these features, design and the build quality, and price makes this a perfect flash for on camera use for everyone, and for experienced flash photographers the manual modes ‘off camera’ work exceptionally well too. Personally, I recommend this product to those who want to save some money on flash and get just as quality result in their photography.
