Detailed features
Automatic flash metering
Compatible with all EOS digital SLR cameras, the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX offers fully automatic E-TTL II flash metering for accurate and consistent flash exposures in all situations. The Guide Number of 14 provides sufficient flash power even when working at high magnifications.
Relationship control
Achieve creative lighting results by controlling the two flash tubes joined together or independently. Use the six-point ratio control to create uniform lighting without shadows or sharp side lighting effects.
Rotate the ring on the front of the lens to illuminate from the sides or from above and below.
Wireless Master Flash
You can control the backlighting using the MR-14EX as a wireless master unit to trigger remote EX-Series Speedlites. In this way you have a third group of lights that you can use to effectively illuminate other areas of the scene.
Focus lights
Working at high magnification can make focusing difficult. Having two focus lights provides illumination to the subject to aid manual focusing.
There are two different modeling flash settings that allow you to trigger a strobe pre-flash with the depth-of-field preview button. The default setting shoots the two tubes with the proper activation setting to make an accurate calculation of where the shadows will appear.
Power supply
Powered by 4 AA batteries or an external battery such as the CP-E4, the MR-14EX is compact and portable. AA batteries provide fast recycling so you can continue shooting without having to wait between captures.
