A powerful tool for the discerning photographer

The ELC Pro-HD Compacts 500 and 1000 are the world’s most complete, feature rich compact studio flash units. The result of over 50 years experience at the forefront of studio lighting technology. Designed and assembled at Elinchrom’s HQ in Switzerland the ELC benefits from the highest Swiss specification. Recycling times are lightning fast (0.6s / 1.2s to full power, ELC 500w / ELC 1000w) while Swiss precision guarantees consistency of power output and colour temperature, shot after shot. Furthermore the super fast flash durations (up to 1/5000s / 1/5260s, t0.5, ELC 500 / ELC 1000) enable you to freeze motion like never before. The ELC is the first unit to incorporate an OLED screen that displays every control for the most professional user experience. As well as Elinchrom’s stop based power scale, you will now be able to see the power in Joules, flash durations and many other settings. A jog wheel provides easy navigation of the new menu.

ELC PRO HD FIRMWARE / NEW OPTION - ENABLE / DISABLE FLASH BEFORE READY

Our ELC Pro HD users reported, that depending on the needs, they either require the fastest possible flash sequence (e.g. Strobo mode), or the best possible flash power accuracy for example for large series of pack shot photography, with priority on the exposure results. To satisfy both user groups we added value to the ELC Pro HD with the latest firmware V.25.17, which offers now the option to disable or enable Flash Before Ready.

 Flash Before Ready / Enabled

• Benefit: fast sequences and fast recycling times.
  
• Limitation: the exposure results may vary slightly depending on how fast the photographer will work.
  

 Flash Before Ready / Disabled

• Benefit: accurate exposures.
  
• Limitation: recycling times and the Strobo mode are slowing down.
