Returning to „Auto-Zoom“
There are various ways to return to „Auto Zoom“:
• Continue pressing the „Zoom“ key on the meca-
blitz until „Auto Zoom“ appears on the display.
The setting becomes instantly effective. The LC
display is switched back to its normal state after
approx. 5 sec.
Or:
• Briefly turn off the mecablitz by its main switch.
When the flash unit is turned on again the
mecablitz display will indicate „Auto Zoom“.
7.6.3 Extended zoom mode
The extended zoom mode (Ex) reduces the focal
length setting of the mecablitz by one step com-
pared with the focal length of the camera’s lens!
The resulting wider light coverage inside rooms
provides additional stray light (reflections) to
achieve softer flash illumination.
Example of extended zoom mode:
The focal length set on the camera lens is 35mm.
The extended zoom mode sets a 28mm reflector
position on the mecablitz even though 35mm con-
tinues to be indicated on the LC display!
The extended zoom mode is only possible in the
„Auto Zoom“ mode with a focal length setting of
35mm and longer. Since the start position of the
zoom reflector is 28mm, a focal length of less
than 35mm will cause „28“ to flash on the LC dis-
play, thereby warning the user that the required
24mm reflector position for extended zoom mode
cannot be set.
Shots with a 28mm to 35mm focal length of
the lens will be correctly illuminated right
out to the image corners by the mecablitz
also in extended zoom mode!
