q: Manual FlashN

When using an EOS-1D series camera, the flash exposure level can be

manually set before shooting. This is effective when you are close to the

subject. Use an 18% gray reflector (commercially available) and shoot

as follows.

1 Configure the camera and MT-26EX-RT settings.

Set the camera’s shooting mode to <q> or <f>.

Set the MT-26EX-RT flash mode to <q>.

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 within the

viewfinder center is over the gray reflector.

4 Press the <B>, <P>, or <7> button (8).

X The MT-26EX-RT 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 MT-26EX-RT’s manual flash output 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.
