aperture by 1.3 to 2 increments or dimi-
nishing correspondingly the distance to
the subject.
In borderline instances it may occur that “o.k.” is
not displayed on the mecablitz but the flash sym-
bol in the camera viewfinder flashes. In such an
event the exposure will nevertheless be correct.
To enable underexposure indication the TTL
mode (or D-TTL mode with digital SLR
cameras) must be set on the mecablitz!
4.6 Manual flash mode
Set “A” aperture priority or the manual mode “M”
or “X” on the camera. Select the aperture and
shutter speed (with “M”) on the camera according
to the given photographic situation (see the came-
ra’s operating instructions).
4.6.1 Manual flash mode M with full light
output (Fig. 19)
In this mode the mecablitz always fires uncon-
trolled flashes at full light output. Adaptation to
the given photographic situation is by selecting a
corresponding aperture setting on the camera.
When using Group A cameras, the mecablitz LC
display will indicate the flash-to-subject distance
required for a correct exposure (see also 5.4.2).
Setting procedure for the manual flash mode M
• Turn on the mecablitz by its main switch.
1
Continue depressing the “Mode” key until “M”
flashes on the LC display.
• The setting becomes immediately effective. The
LC display returns to its normal state after
approx. 5 sec.
4.6.2 Manual flash mode MLo with partial
light output (Fig. 20)
In this mode the flash unit always fires uncon-
trolled flashes at 1/8th (Low) of its full light out-
put. Adaptation to the photographic situation is
by selecting a corresponding aperture setting on
the camera. When using Group A cameras, the
mecablitz LC display will indicate the flash-to-sub-
ject distance required for correct exposure (see
also 5.4.2).
Setting procedure for the manual flash mode MLo
• Turn on the mecablitz by its main switch.
2
Continue depressing the “Mode” key until
“MLo” flashes on the LC display.
