When the MR-14EX is mounted on a Type-A camera such as the EOS-1 V, taking flash pictures with E-TTL autoflash is just as easy as normal autoexposure (AE) pictures. As with evaluative metering, the E- TTL autoflash system uses a multi-zone _ metering sensor which enables highly precise flash exposure control.
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). For serious closeup flash photography, Av or M is recommended.
Using Flash with the Camera's Shooting Modes This mode is effective for controlling the depth of field in your flash pictures. YC?u can also obtain a correct exposure for both the subject and background. You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically for the correct exposure of the background.
Using Flash with the Camera's Shooting Modes In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture. The E-TTl autoflash system controls the flash exposure based on the aperture you set. The proper exposure of the background is set with both the aperture and shutter speed.
The MR-14EX's advanced features are explained in this chapter. They are as follows: • Selecting the Flash Tube (~p.26) • Modeling Flash (~p.29) • FE Lock (~p.30) • Flash Exposure Compensation (~p.32) • FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing) (--7p.
~~D at:Selecting the Flash Tube IfIItHlni_. nnmllOm'il! i 'I in By firing only one of the flash tubes or by setting a flash ratio for flash tubes A and B, you can create shadows and sculptural lighting effects. You can set the flash ratio from 1:8 to 1:1 to 8:1 (13 levels) in 1/2-stop increments.

With Type-A cameras, you can set FE (flash exposure) lock. This is the flash version of AE lock. With FE lock, you use spot metering to obtain the correct flash exposure reading for a specific area of the subject. * The flash mode must be set to ETTL.
~ 6 CI 5.6 • FE Lock Take the picture • In the viewfinder, check the flash exposure level indicator and check that the t icon is displayed. The flash exposure was locked on the leaf where the butterfly was resting. I After recomposing, the picture was taken.
~Flash Exposure Compensation With the MR-14EX, you can set the flash exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments (or 1/2-stop increments with some cameras). In tandem, you can also set exposure compensation with the camera to control the background's exposure level in the flash picture.
Flash Exposure Compensation Focus the subject. ~ When you press the shutter button halfway, the flash exposure compensation amount will be displayed on the viewfinder's right and the ~ icon will be displayed on the viewfinder bottom.
~ FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing) fI.~mnnlnil.1I111 You can change the flash exposure level automatically while keeping the background exposure level the same. Three flash shots can be bracketed up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments (or 1/2-stop increments with some cameras) as follows: Correct exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure.

• Setting Up a Wireless Flash System (~p.42 ) • Using the Wireless Flash System (~p.45) This chapter explains the MR-14EX's built-in features for wireless flash photography with one or more additional Speedlites.
Setting Up a Wireless Flash System ""1II!JI1IIIIIfJIIII. By using a Speedlite 550EX as a slave unit, you can set up a wireless flash system with the MR-14EX. As with the Speedlite 550EX, the MR-14EX can be set as the master unit which transmits wireless signals to the slave unit.
Setting Up a Wireless Flash System To set the 550EX as a slave unit, refer to page 53 in the 550EX's I nstructions booklet. ETTL mZoom 2lfmm c Set the same channel No. as the master unit. Set the slave 10 to C. After setting up the wireless flash system, position slave C as shown in the left diagram.
Setting Up a Wireless Flash System Press the master unit's pilot lamp (test firing button) to fire a test flash. ~ The master unit and slave unit should fire (at 1/64 output). • If the slave unit does not fire, reposition it closer to the master unit and more toward the front and center of the master unit.
Using the Wireless Flash System rJIIIIIJm nu ~I~~ Using Slave C (w/EOS-10, 1V, 3, 030, ELAN 7nE, or 30/33) You can fire flash tubes A and B and slave C at the same time. A correct flash exposure is obtained with flash tubes A and B together, and slave C alone is set automatically to obtain a correct exposure.
Using the Wireless Flash System You can also set a flash ratio for flash tubes A and 8 and set flash exposure compensation for slave C. After step 1 on the preceding page, follow the procedure below. ETTL -- 1 Imm!l A : B C +0 :~D 8:1· ~. 2:1·1:1 ·1:2 ·1:4 ·1:8 at: ETTL -- 1 Imm!l A : B C + I 1/3 :~D8:1.
Using the Wireless Flash System Features Available with, Wireless Flash The following features can also be used in a wireless flash system: • Wireless FE Lock • Wireless flash exposure compensatio.
Using the Wireless Flash System When C.Fn-5-1 is set, you can use additional Speedlites and set their slave IDs t9 A, B, or C.(~p.64) By having multiple Speedlites set to the same slave 10, you can create a slave group to produce a brighter flash. For example, a slave unit whose slave 10 is A will fire together with flash tube A.
When the MR-14EX is mounted on a Type-B camera such as the EOS-1 N, taking flash pictures with TTL autoflash is just as easy as normal autoexposure (AE) pictures. In the Full Auto mode, you can just press the shutter button to take flash pictures. Or you can set the shutter speed or aperture while the flash exposure is automatic.
Using Flash with the Camera's Shooting Modes rJllIJIJIIJllWmrnnr.- For TTL autoflash shots, just set the camera's shooting mode to P (Program AE), Av (aperture-priority AE), or M (Manual exposure). For serious closeup flash photography, Av or M is recommended.
