Fig. 7: Fill-in flash in daylight (left without - right with mecablitz
The mecablitz can also be used for fill-in flash in daylight
to soften harsh shadows and lower the contrast, thereby
producing a more balanced exposure when shooting
against the light. Various possibilities are open to the
user for this purpose.
Fill-in flash in automatic mode
Use the camera, or a hand-held exposure meter, to
establish the required aperture and shutter speed for a
normal exposure. Ensure that the shutter speed either
equals, or is slower than, the fastest flash synch
speed (varies with the given camera model).
Example: Established aperture = f/8; established
shutter speed = 1/60th sec. Flash synch
speed of the camera, e.g. 1/100th sec.
(see operating instructions for the given
camera).
