  • For information on operating the Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX, refer to the individual instruction booklets.
  • Using aperture-priority AE (Av) or Manual (M) picture-taking modes are recommended for macro photography as it is easy to adjust depth of field and exposure in these modes.
  • When using the MT-24EX, it is recommended to use the hood designed for the MP-E65 sold separately.
 
Compared to normal picture-taking, the proper exposure for macro photography laregely depends on the subject. It is difficult to obtain the proper exposure the first time. Therefore, you should bracket the exposure.
