9. Flash parameters
For correct performance of the flash unit in the auto
flash mode A and manual flash mode M it will be ne-
cessary to adapt the different flash parameters (f-stop,
ISO speed, diffuser) manually to the settings on the
camera. The adjusted flash parameters are retained
after the flash unit has been switched off and after the
flash mode has been changed.
The flash parameter settings can only be
changed in automatic flash mode A and
manual flash mode M. Maximum flash range
indication is automatically adapted to the
adjusted flash parameters.

f/16 can be set in whole aperture increments. The
setting becomes instantly effective and is automati-
cally stored after 5 s.

pre-select key on the
flash unit until “ISO” and the ISO value flash on the
display. While the display is flashing depress the
“+” or “-” key to adapt the ISO value on the flash

ly effective and is automatically stored after 5 s.
9.3 Reflector status
The reflector status cannot be set when in
EASY Mode and in “SL” Metz-Remote Mode.
To obtain correct indication of the maximum flash
range and distance on the LC display, it is necessa-
ry to set the reflector status on the flash unit. This
parameter indicates whether the flash unit is used
without an attachment in front of the reflector, or
with a wide-angle diffuser or telephoto attachment.
Use of the wide-angle diffuser (“WIDE”)
