Overview

The Neewer Z2-C is a TTL-capable round-head speedlite engineered for Canon shooters who want more natural light quality from an on-camera or off-camera flash. Its circular Fresnel flash head sets it apart from conventional rectangular speedlites by producing a softer, more evenly distributed beam with round catchlights in subjects' eyes — a quality typically associated with more expensive studio strobes. With 76Ws of power, a stable 5600K (±200K) color temperature, and manual dimming from 1/1 down to 1/256, the Z2-C provides consistent output across a wide range of shooting scenarios, from event coverage to portrait work.

The upgraded user interface centers on the TCM (TTL Convert Manual) key, which lets you meter a TTL test shot and instantly lock that value into manual mode for repeatable results. The flash head offers generous range of motion — 330° rotation and -7° to 120° tilt — for creative bounce techniques, while dual 2W LED modeling lamps at 3300K with 10 brightness steps let you preview your lighting before committing to a shot. The built-in 7.4V 2600mAh lithium battery provides approximately 480 full-power flashes with a 1.5-second recycle time, and recharges via the included charger in about 3.5 hours. Firmware updates are handled through a USB Type-C port. For wireless operation, the Z2-C integrates with Neewer's 2.4G Q system across 4 groups, 32 channels, and 99 IDs, functioning as either a receiver or a master/slave unit at distances up to 100 meters.

Key Features

【Enhanced UI & Instant TTL/M Mode Switch】 NEEWER Z2-C speedlight has an upgraded UI and a TCM key that switches from TTL to M mode in a second. It offers automatic metering, 1/1-1/256 manual dimming, and 28-105mm focal length. Stroboscopic flashes, 1/8000s HSS, front/rear curtain sync, FEC/FEB (flash exposure compensation/bracketing), S1/S2 optical slave modes, and other functions are also available

【Excellent Performance & Modeling Lamps】 76Ws max output, stable 5600K (±200K) color temperature, and a circular Fresnel flash head ensure an even, soft, and natural light effect. The flash head can turn 0° to 330° and tilt -7° to 120° for free flash bouncing. 2 upgraded 2W 3300K±200K LED modeling lamps, one below the flash head, offer 10 adjustable brightness levels (01-10)

【Built in 2.4G Wireless Q System】 The flash offers 4 wireless control groups (M/A/B/C), 32 channels (1-32), and 99 IDs (1-99) for use with QPRO-C TTL transmitters (not included). It also functions as a master/slave unit for other Q system flashes within 328'/100m (no obstacles)

【High Capacity & Fast Recycling】 The 7.4V 2600mAh lithium battery provides 480 full power flashes, 1.5s fast recycling time, and a 1/180-1/20000s flash duration for enhanced shooting. It can be fully charged in just 3.5 hours via the included charger. Firmware update is supported via the USB Type C port
