Learn how to prepare the Macro RingLite MR-14EX for actual use.

Before You Start


10/90

Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX requires one of the following two types ofbatteries:(1) Four size-AA alkaline batteries(2) Four size-AA nickel-hydride batteries

Slide the battery compartmentcover as shown by the arrow andflip it up.

Insert the batteries. Make sure the + and - battery

contacts are properly oriented asshown in the battery chamber.

External Power Sources ~ ~ 1Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX can use either of the following two externalpower packs. For details on the power pack, refer to the Instructions of therespective power pack.(1) Compact Battery Pack CP-E2

Uses six size-AA alkaline, nickel-hydride, or lithium batteries.(2) Transistor Pack E

Uses Battery Magazine TP (six size-C alkaline batteries) or Ni-Cd

Using Flash with the Camera's Shooting Modes .......For E-TTL autoflash shots, just set the camera's shooting mode to P(Program AE), Av (aperture-priority AE), or M (Manual exposure). Forserious closeup flash photography, Av or M is recommended.

* When you press the shutter button completely, a preflash is firedimmediately before the picture is taken. The preflash is used to obtain thesubject's reflected-light reading for calculating the optimum output of themain flash.

Set the camera's shooting mode to P, and the camera will set the flashaperture and shutter speed automatically. You can thereby concentrate onthe subject.

* The ETTL flash mode must be set.* Since the flash exposure is controlled automatically, you need not bother with any

flash metering calculations.* If you set the flash mode to M, see page 39.

When the MR-14EX is mounted on aType-B camera such as the EOS-1 N,taking flash pictures with TTL autoflashis just as easy as normal autoexposure(AE) pictures. In the Full Auto mode, youcan just press the shutter button to takeflash pictures. Or you can set the shutterspeed or aperture while the flashexposure is automatic. In this way, youcan take various flash pictures.

For TTL autoflash shots, just set the camera's shooting mode to P(Program AE), Av (aperture-priority AE), or M (Manual exposure). Forserious closeup flash photography, Av or M is recommended.

* When you press the shutter button completely, T IL autoflash metering(the light reflected off the film is metered and the flash is cut off when theproper amount of light is received) is used to control the flash exposure

based on the flash aperture.

Set the camera's shooting mode to P, and the camera will set the flashaperture and shutter speed automatically. You can thereby concentrate onthe subject.
