You can use the Compact Power Adapter CA-PS400 to charge the BP-511 battery pack, and when fully charged it has enough power for you to take approximately 490 images (Normal, with 50% flash use). Charging takes about 90 minutes.

Battery Grip BG-ED3

This is a battery grip that holds two BP-511 battery packs. It provides a shutter button, electronic dials, AE lock/FE lock button, and AF point selection button for use in taking portrait (vertical) shots. (Can also use the DC coupler)

E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses

One of ten E-series dioptric adjustment lenses (-4 to +3 diopters) with eyecup can be attached to the camera’s eyepiece to further expand the dioptric correction range.

Shoe-mount Speedlites

Flash photography with an EX-series Speedlite is as easy as normal auto exposure shooting without flash. All EX- series Speedlites enable E-TTL autoflash, high-speed sync (FP flash), and FE lock. With the 550EX, an easy-to- use, wireless E-TTL autoflash system is possible with multiple Speedlites.

Macro Flash

The EX-series Macro Lites are ideal for macro flash shooting.

You can fire only one or both flash tubes and control the flash ratio to easily obtain sophisticated lighting effects with E-TTL autoflash. Also, high-speed sync (FP flash), FE lock, and a multi-Speedlite, wireless system (with 550EX as a slave) are possible to achieve various macro flash effects.
