Features

Detachable Macro Twin Lites
Each of the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-Rts flash heads can rotate up to 60-degrees horizontally and 45-degrees vertically. They're also completely detachable, allowing easy positioning for the scene. The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RTs front ring can also rotate independently, helping to ensure flexible control and freedom to create a lighting environment tailored to the subject at hand.

Maximum Guide Number 85.3ft / 26m
The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT has a maximum Guide Number of 85.3ft. / 26m at ISO 100 when both sides are firing. This delivers powerful lighting head-on, and thanks to independent output for each flash head, natural-looking, three-dimensional and directional lighting effects can be achieved with ease.

Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Functionality
Can be controlled wirelessly through optical or radio transmission. As the master unit of up to 5 groups or up to 15 flash units, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT can be easily incorporated into numerous, sophisticated wireless setups both in the studio and out in the field.

Expanded Manual Flash Setting Range
Has expanded manual controls that easily enable impressive results and are adjusted on the LC panel. Each flash head can be controlled independently in 1/3-stop increments. Flash emissions can even be set as low as 1/5 124 to supress blow-out headlights in close-up photography, which is helpful when photographing high-speed subjects, and to achieve optimal lighting adjustments in a wide variety of situations.

Removable Diffusers Included
Comes with two removable diffusers that scatters the flashs illumination more widely and with less intensity. The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT detects when the diffusers are attached and can automatically determine the appropriate intensity of illumination to compensate for any light lost. By evening out the light source, the diffusers are especially effective in minimizing shadows while emphasizing and maintaining detail in highlight areas.

Dot Matrix-type LCD Panel
Offers improved visibility, with a new user interface that can display at 5 different brightness levels and in green or orange backlight illumination. This customizable design allows flexibility to adjust light intensity and color of the LCD to suit the shooting environment.

Improved Operability
A new selection dial, set and function buttons, plus backlit operation buttons provide more intuitive operation, while new locking mechanisms help ensure continued, error-free use. The metal mounting foot also features a new locking pin and a one-touch lever for secure attachment and speedy detachment that helps prevent dust fron interfering with the electric contacts. A new lock release lever has been added to the battery cover to help ensure the power stays on.

Improved Focus Assist Lamp
Includes a pair of new high-luminance white LED focusing lamps that define the field of view and makes focusing simple. The focus assist lamp can easily be operated while handholding the camera. Brightness can be adjusted within 5 increments and the lamp can be directed to stay lit for approximately 20 to 60 seconds.

Full Power Recycling Time Reduced
Can recycle to full power output in approximately 5 seconds. This significant enhancement means faster response times, less down time and fewer missed opportunities.

High-speed Sync Supported
For reliable operation even when changing exposure parameters, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT is capable of firing repeatedly at roughly 50 KHz intervals, supporting flash sync at all shutters speeds. Its high-speed sync helps ensure even illumination all throughout the composition.
