Frequently asked questions
Does the Godox MF12 Dental Macro Flash Kit require a separate wireless trigger?
The MF12 flashes operate via 2.4 GHz wireless technology but require a compatible optional Godox trigger to use TTL or manual wireless control. They can also be used in optical slave modes (S1/S2) without any trigger, making them flexible for a range of setups.
How many flashes can I get on a single charge, and how long does it take to recharge?
The built-in rechargeable lithium battery delivers approximately 500 full-power flashes per charge. Recharging is done via the included USB-C cable and takes approximately 55 minutes for a full charge.
Can the Godox MF12 be used for general macro photography, or is it only for dental use?
While optimized for dental photography with its dedicated bracket and silicone diffusers, the MF12 is equally suitable for general macro and close-up photography. Its compact size, wireless capabilities, and multiple mounting options make it a versatile choice for product, nature, and scientific macro work as well.
