Flexible
- High power output offering a maximum guide number of 22 when shooting with both flash heads or guide number of 24 when shooting with a single flash head (ISO 100, metres)
- Mounting ring can be rotated 50 degrees upwards or 30 degrees downwards - the control unit is designed to not interfere with the mounting ring with smaller Canon macro lenses
- Individual flash heads can be tilted vertically by 45 degrees upwards or downwards as well as horizontally by 60 degrees inwards or 30 degrees outwards for total flexibility
- Flash heads can also be removed from the mounting ring for advanced lighting set-ups
E-TTL Control
- Evaluative through-the-lens autoflash control balances natural light with flash to deliver natural looking photographs
- E -TTL features include high-speed FP sync mode, Flash Exposure (FE) Lock, flash exposure compensation and flash exposure bracketing for complete photographic control
- Flash ratio control1 possible that allows flash output to be controlled between each flash head - control is possible in 13 steps of ½ stop increments from 8:1 ratio through to 1:8 ratio
- Wireless flash control allowing multiple Speedlites to be controlled by the MT-24EX - up to 3 groups can be controlled when used with EOS-1D, EOS D30, EOS-1v, EOS 3 and EOS 30/33
