q: Manual FlashN
When using an EOS-1D series camera, the flash exposure level can be
manually set before shooting. This is convenient for shooting at a short
distance from the subject. Use a 18% gray reflector (commercially
available) and shoot as follows.
1 Configure the camera and MR-14EX II settings.
Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> or <f>.
Set the MR-14EX II’s flash mode to <a>.
2 Focus on the subject.
Focus manually.
3 Set up an 18% gray reflector.
Place the gray reflector at the subject’s position.
Aim the camera so that the entire spot metering circle at the
viewfinder center is over the gray reflector.
4 Press the <B>, <P>, or <7> button. (8)
X The MR-14EX II will fire a preflash and the required flash output
for the correct flash exposure is retained in memory.
X On the right side of the viewfinder, the exposure level indicator
will show the flash exposure level against the standard exposure.
5 Set the flash exposure level.
Adjust the MR-14EX II’s manual flash level and the
aperture so that the flash exposure level aligns with
the standard exposure index.
6 Take the picture.
Remove the gray reflector and take the picture.
