Fast response time

The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash impresses not only with its powerful power, but also with its lightning-fast recovery time of just 1 second at full brightness. The fast recharging system of the torch will successfully meet the requirements of professionals who can’t afford long standstills in their work. With this lamp, you can focus on creativity without worrying about the waiting time for the next flash.

Wide compatibility

Thanks to the integration of the transmitter and receiver in a single housing, the Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash features wide compatibility. This model will be ideal for users of Canon brand radio transmission systems. This model can act as a “Master” unit for triggering other Yongnuo flashes or Canon Speedlight RT series devices. We then have the ability to remotely control the flash mode and output level of the “slave” flash. However, that’s not all. The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash can also act as a “Slave” unit, receiving the trigger signal from an RT series flash or flash trigger. Remote flash management makes it significantly easier to work with TTL, M, MULTI and Gr modes without having to enter the frame and unnecessarily slow down the entire creative process.

Precision-and-convenience-of-working

The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash features a high guide number of GN 60. Its wide adjustment range (from 1/1 to 1/128), combined with its high power, allow you to precisely adjust the flash to the lighting conditions you find. Also noteworthy is the lamp’s versatility. It offers multiple methods of flash triggering – including using a hot shoe, radio systems or remote flash triggering.

Flash triggering

Compatibility with wireless transmission systems makes this flash a versatile tool for creatives with different needs. Support for S1 and S2 modes, including a preflash cancel mode (“preflash cancel”), further expands the use of the unit. In S1 mode, the Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash responds to the flash of the “Master” unit. In S2 mode, on the other hand, it skips the first flash, allowing for more advanced lighting experiments. This flexibility makes this model an ideal tool for creative photographers looking for precise light control in a variety of photographic conditions.

Convenient software upgrade

The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash is equipped with a USB-C port for quick and convenient software updates. Users can download the latest firmware versions directly from Yongnuo’s official website. This ensures that the YN690EX-RT flash is always ready to handle new features and support new devices.

Burner zoom adjustment

The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash offers an advanced torch zoom adjustment function – in both automatic and manual modes. With this feature, you can easily adjust the angle and range of the flash to suit your current needs. The available adjustment range is a wide 20 to 200 mm. The auto zoom mode adjusts the illuminated area to the focal length of the lens for optimal compatibility with your frame. In manual mode, you can consciously adjust the settings to meet your specific needs.

Control-work-time-from-screen

Forget about situations where the lamp unexpectedly loses power. With the Yongnuo YN690EX-RT you have full control over the runtime. On the screen, which is located on the back of the housing, you will find a battery level indicator. This gives you real-time control over the lamp’s runtime and allows you to reach for a new cell at the right moment or charge the one you are currently using.

High-performance USB-C battery included

The Yongnuo YN690EX-RT flash offers an extremely convenient charging system. The included lithium-ion battery pack features a USB-C port. It allows fast charging, without having to reach for an additional charger. All you need is a cable connected to a power adapter or power bank. With this flash, you can enjoy full freedom when shooting outdoors, without having to worry about low battery. The 2000 mAh cell will provide up to 600 flashes using the full power of the device.
