scope for compensation. To avoid overexposure,
the minimum flash-to-subject distance should not
be less than 10% of the indicated value. Adapta-
tion to the given photographic situation is possible
by changing the aperture setting on the lens.
Example: In the example the maximum flash range
extends from 0.6 m to 6.2 m. Ideally, the
subject should be located within a distance
range of approx. 2.5 m and 4.3 m.
5.4.2 Maximum flash range indication in
manual flash modes M and MLo
The mecablitz LC display indicates the distance to
be maintained for correct exposure of the subject.
Adaptation to the given photographic situation is
achieved by changing the aperture setting on the
lens and selecting either “M” for full light output
or “MLo” for partial light output (see 4.6).
Example: This example shows that the principal
subject should be at a distance of 6.2 m
from the mecablitz.
5.4.3 Exceeding the display range (Fig. 28)
The mecablitz can indicate a maximum range of
199 m or 199 ft. This display range can be
exceeded in the event of high ISO values (e.g.
ISO 6400) and large aperture openings. An
arrow or triangle after the distance value indi-
cates that the display range has been exceeded.
5.4.4 Blanking out the maximum flash
range display (Fig. 29)
The mecablitz LC display does not indicate any
distances when the reflector head is swivelled up
or down out of its normal position!
5.4.5 “FEE” error indication on the LC-dis-
play of the mecablitz (Fig. 30)
On some cameras and in some camera modes
(e.g. program “P”, Vari-programs, “S” shutter
priority mode) it is necessary to set the aperture
ring of the lens to the maximum f-number. Other-
wise the message “FEE” (=error) will be indicated
on the LC-display of the mecablitz or the camera.
In such an instance please check the settings on
the camera or lens (see operating instructions of
the camera).
