  Cautions for firing continuous flashes To avoid degrading and damaging the flash unit due to overheating, do not fire more than 20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min. If you fire 20 continuous flashes, and then fire the flash again repeatedly in short intervals, the safety function may activate and restrict flash firing.

• Page 13: Getting Started With Macro Flash Shooting

  Getting Started with Macro Flash Shooting This chapter describes the preparations before starting macro flash shooting and the basic shooting operations. Conditions of the subject greatly influence the exposure when shooting close-ups. Therefore, it is recommended to shoot the same subject with different exposures (p.27) and check the exposure immediately after shooting.

• Page 14: Installing The Batteries

  Approx. 0.1 to 3.3 sec. Approx. 0.1 to 5.5 sec. Approx. 100 to 700 Based on new AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, both sides firing, and Canon’s testing standards. The Quick flash function enables flash shooting before the flash is fully charged (p.18).

• Page 15: Attaching The Control Unit To The Camera

  Attaching the Control Unit to the Camera When <!> is displayed, or the LCD panel display turns off during recycling, replace the batteries with new ones. Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the batteries, replace all four at one time.

• Page 16: Attaching The Flash Unit To The Lens

  Attaching the Flash Unit to the Lens Attach the flash unit to the front of the macro lens. Attach the flash unit to the front of the lens while holding down the release button. Make sure that the flash unit is securely attached.

• Page 17: Using A Filter

  Attaching the Flash Unit to the Lens Using a Filter A commercially-available filter can be used during flash shooting. A filter can be attached, using the two procedures described below. Filters may not be used together with some macro lenses. (1) Attach a 67 mm filter on the front face of the flash unit (see the above illustration).

• Page 18: Turning On The Power

  Turning on the Power Set the power switch to <K>. The flash recycling starts. During recycling, <G> is displayed on the LCD panel. When flash recycling is completed, this indicator disappears. Check that the flash is ready. The state of the flash-ready lamp changes from off to green (Quick flash ready) to red (fully charged).

• Page 19: Lcd Panel Illumination

  Turning on the Power Lock Function By setting the power switch to <a>, you can disable the flash’s buttons and dial operations. It is effective when you want to prevent the flash function settings from being accidentally changed after you set them.

• Page 20: Fully Automatic Flash Shooting

  Fully Automatic Flash Shooting When you set the camera’s shooting mode to <d> (Program AE) or a fully automatic mode, you can shoot in the E-TTL II/E-TTL fully automatic flash mode. Set the flash mode to <a>. Press the <E> button and set to <a>.

• Page 21: Using E-Ttl Ii And E-Ttl Autoflash By Shooting Mode

  Using E-TTL II and E-TTL Autoflash by Shooting Mode Simply set the camera’s shooting mode to <f> (aperture-priority AE) or <a> (manual exposure) and you can perform advanced macro flash shooting using E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash. You can perform flash shooting while obtaining a standard exposure of both the main subject and background while considering the depth of field.

  Flash Firing Restriction due to Temperature Increase When continuous flash or modeling flash is repeatedly fired in short intervals, the temperature of the MR-14EX II may increase. Repeated firings of the flash activates the flash firing restriction automatically to avoid degrading and damaging the flash unit due to overheating. While flash firing is restricted, the warning is displayed to indicate the increase in temperature, and the firing interval is automatically set to approx.

  Flash Firing Restriction due to Temperature Increase Even when Level 1 warning is not displayed, the firing interval will be extended as the flash unit begins to heat up. If Level 2 warning is displayed, allow a rest time for at least 15 min. For cautions on the number of flash firings, see page 12 (continuous flashes) or page 23 (modeling flash).
