E-TTL II metering makes accurate flash exposures simple. Creative shadow control Dual flash tubes can be varied independently, over a six-stop ratio, permitting different lighting styles. Use both tubes evenly for a shadowless effect, or make one tube brighter than the other for relief lighting that emphasises textures. The Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX II?s flash head can be rotated around the lens, allowing the dominant light source to come from any angle. High performance High power output, with a guide number of 14 (ISO 100, m), allows the use of small apertures for maximum depth of field when shooting up close. Colour-temperature information is transmitted back to the camera during shooting, helping to optimise auto white balance.

This is useful when using a second flash to illuminate a background, for example.
