Triggering control
On some cameras the flash will not be fired when
the prevailing light is sufficient for an exposure in
normal mode. The exposure is then completed
with the settings indicated in the display field.
Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions
for further details.
Activating the flash manually
(manual fill-in flash)
Although the camera automatically activates the
flash whenever the prevailing light conditions
make this necessary, it is still possible to trigger
the mecablitz manually. Please refer to the came-
ra’s operating instructions for the description of
this function.
Flash in the A, S and M modes
With aperture priority (A), shutter priority (S) and
manual mode (M), a flash will be fired with each
shot if the mecablitz has been switched on. Came-
ra operation in these three modes is the same as
without flash.
With one exception: A shutter speed faster than
the camera’s flash sync speed cannot be selected.
Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions
for further details.
