Synthesizes chlorophyll f or chlorophyllide f (Chl f, 2-formyl chlorophyll a), probably by oxidation of chlorophyll a or chlorophyllide a and reduction of plastoquinone. The reaction is probably light-dependent. Chl f absorbs far red light (FRL, 707 nm in 100% methanol), and is synthesized when cells are grown in FRL, where it provides the advantage of extending the spectral range of harvested light in terrestrial cyanobacteria (PubMed:27386923). Chl f synthesis is probably light-dependent (PubMed:27386923).

Belongs to the reaction center PufL/M/PsbA/D family.
