User manual METZ MECABLITZ 44 MZ-2

[. . . ] Si le mecablitz est équipé d'un adaptateur SCA du système SCA 3002 et utilisé en liaison avec un appareil photo qui est capable de transmettre au flash la distance focale de l'objectif, la tête zoom s'adapte automatiquement à la distance focale de l'objectif. Meet, als dat mogelijk is, onderwerp en achtergrond met de belichtingsmeter apart van elkaar. 86 Guide number table for TTL and full light output M in the metric system . 132 Guide number table for partial light output MLo in the imperial system . [. . . ] The zoom position of the reflector can be changed when the mecablitz is used with an SCA 3002 system adapter and a camera capable of data transmission, to achieve special lighting effects (such as hot-spot, etc. If the zoom position continues to flash on the LC display after automatic storage, then this is a warning that flash coverage will be incomplete with the selected zoom position. In this case select a lower zoom position for the mecablitz reflector. The aperture of the mecablitz must be set manually when the mecablitz is operated with an adapter of the SCA 300 system or the 301 standard foot in conjunction with a camera that is incapable of transmitting aperture data. While this display flashes, use the "+" and "-" keys to adjust the aperture to the required f­stop. If the mecablitz is equipped with an adapter of the SCA 3002 system, and is used in conjunction with a camera that is capable of transmitting ISO film speed data to the flash unit, then the ISO speed on the mecablitz will automatically be adapted accordingly.  With some camera models the ISO speed will not be indicated on the mecablitz LC display or the ISO value cannot be changed (see operating instructions for the given SCA adapter).  A dark subject in front of a bright : Positive correction value (approx. A light subject in front of a dark background: Negative correction value (approx. If a correction value is set the maximum flash range indicated on the mecablitz LC display may change to match the given correction value (depending on the SCA adapter and camera model). Do not forget to cancel manual flash exposure correction after picture shooting. The mecablitz must be fitted with an SCA 3002 system adapter and the TTL flash mode must be selected on the mecablitz. the camera must support the setting of a manual correction value on the mecablitz. With some cameras a manual correction value for TTL flash exposure can only be set on the camera body. In such an event, a corresponding setting cannot be made on the mecablitz or remains ineffective (see operating instructions for the given SCA adapter and camera).  Exposure correction by changing the lens aperture is not possible because the camera's automatic exposure system will regard the changed aperture as a normal working aperture. The ISO speed must be set manually on the mecablitz when the mecablitz is used in conjunction with an SCA 300 system adapter or with the 301 standard foot, or if the camera cannot transmit ISO film speed data. While this value flashes, use the "+" and "-" keys to modify the ISO speed as required. The mecablitz must be fitted with an SCA adapter or the 301 standard foot. The automatic TTL flash expossure system of most cameras is matched to a 25 % degree of light reflection by the subject (average amount of light reflected by subjects shot with flash). Consequently, a dark background that absorbs a great deal of light, or a bright background that reflects a great deal of light, can result in under- or overexposure, respectively. To offset this effect a manual correction value can be set to adapt the automatic flash exposure to the photographic situation. [. . . ] For close-ups it is necessary to ensure that certain minimum lighting distances are maintained to avoid overexposure. Slave mode, the mecablitz LC display will neither indicate the aperture nor the distance.  Please note that the mecablitz 44 MZ-2 as SLAVE will only support the remote channel "Ad1" in the cordless Metz-Remote-System. For more details about the slave mode please refer to the operating instructions for the slave adapter. [. . . ]
