Canon Macro Ring
Lite MR-14EX with E-TTL
This Ring Lite for close-up
and macro shooting is loaded
with features and
capabilities. Now with
Canon's E-TTL, it takes full
advantage of the flash
performance of the EOS-1v,
EOS-3, and other E-TTL
cameras. Circular twin flash
tubes can fire at even
power, or varied between
them over a six-stop range,
and one or more 550EX
Speedlites can be used as
wireless slaves along with
the MR-14EX. The controller
unit now has an illuminated
full-info LCD panel and its
accepts optional hi-capacity
battery packs.
Professional close-up flash
photography becomes as easy
as normal AE shooting when
the MR-14EX is mounted onto
any EOS system camera that
supports E-TTL metering
(i.e., Type-A EOS cameras).
The E-TTL system emits the
perfect amount of light,
optimally balancing flash
output and ambient light to
ensure a natural balance.
The MR-14EX also has
advanced features such as
High-Speed Sync (FP flash),
Flash Exposure Lock (FEL), a
Flash Exposure Compensation
(up to +/- 3 stops) and
Flash Exposure Bracketing
(FEB, up to +/- 3 stops in
1/3-stop or 1/2-stop
increments).
When the MR-14EX is used
with a Type-B EOS camera
that does not support E-TTL
autoflash control (e.g., EOS
1N, 5, 10), TTL autoflash
control is used. In this
case, Flash Exposure
Compensation, FEB and manual
flash exposure controls are
available. |
