Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX

are macro flash units compatible with E-TTL II/E-TTL/TTL autoflash

systems.

Read this instruction manual while also referring to your

camera’s instruction manual.

Before using the MR-14EX/MT-24EX, read this instruction manual and your

camera’s instruction manual to familiarize yourself with macro flash operations.

The basic operation is as easy as with normal AE shooting.

When the MR-14EX or MT-24EX is attached to an EOS camera, almost all

automatic exposure control for flash photography is handled by the

camera.

Although the MR-14EX/MT-24EX is an external flash unit, it works

automatically and seamlessly like the camera’s built-in flash.

It is automatically compatible with the camera’s flash metering

mode (E-TTL ll, E-TTL, or TTL).

The camera controls the MR-14EX/MT-24EX automatically in the following

flash metering modes:

1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lens

distance information)

2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading)

3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering)

Regarding the camera’s available flash metering modes, refer to the

“External Speedlite” specification in the “Specifications” of your

camera’s instruction manual.

The camera instruction manual’s chapter on flash photography will refer

to cameras having 1 and 2 above as a Type-A camera (compatible

with E-TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having 3(compatible with only

with TTL) are called Type-B cameras.

* This instruction manual assume that you are using the MR-14EX/MT-

24EX with a Type-A camera.

For Type-B cameras, see page 41.

This manual covers both the MR-14EX and MT-24EX. The

instructions basically apply to the MR-14EX. If you have the

MT-24EX, read the parts.

The operation procedures in this instruction manual assume that both

the camera and MR-14EX/MT-24EX’s power switches are ON.

Icons are used in the text to indicate the respective buttons, dials,

and settings. They match the same icons found on the camera and

MR-14EX/MT-24EX.

The (1) / (3) icons indicate that the respective function remains

in effect for 8 sec. or 16 sec.

Reference page numbers are indicated by (p.**).

This instruction manual uses the following alert symbols:

: The Caution symbol indicates a warning to prevent shooting

problems.

: The Note symbol gives supplemental information.
