High-speed synchronisation HSS
The maximum flash range can be read off directly from the aperture calcula-
tor under the f-stop when the ISO value of the camera or film has been
manually set on the flash unit. The shortest shooting distance is approx. 10%
of the maximum flash range. The subject should be located in the middle
third of the indicated range to give the electronic circuit leeway for compen-
sation.
The aperture or ISO value does not have to be set on the flash unit for
the TTL flash mode with preflash to function! All flash modes, with the
exception of high-speed synchronisation (HSS), are also supported by
the secondary reflector of the flash unit.
6.4 Manual flash mode M
The flash unit emits the full uncontrolled amount of light in the manual mode
if no partial light output has been selected. Adaptation to the photographic
situation may then be achieved with a corresponding aperture setting on the
camera.
Setting procedure
• Set the ISO value of the camera or film with the setting knob
on the flash
head.
☞
• Set the setting mark “M” or manual partial light output (M1/2 - M1/4 –
M1/8 – M1/16 – M1/32) with the setting mark of the selector disk
on
the flash unit. “M” lights up on the indicator window of the flash unit.
The scale of the aperture calculator indicates, above the given lighting dis-
tance, the aperture that has to be set on the camera.
We recommend the camera mode aperture priority (A, Av) or manual
(M). The adjusted aperture must be corrected when a wide-angle diffu-
ser is used. The setting centre on the flash head automatically takes the
mounted wide-angle diffuser into account.
6.5 Slave mode in the cordless Metz Remote System
When in the cordless Metz Remote System a controller flash unit (40 MZ-...,
50 MZ5, 54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-..., 76 MZ-...) on the camera provides cordless
control of light output of one or more slave units in TTL or automatic flash
mode.
TTL flash modes with preflash (ADI, E-TTL, D-TTL, i-TTL etc.) are not sup-
ported for system-inherent reasons!
The mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital supports the slave mode in the cordless Metz
Remote System. For this purpose, the flash unit must be equipped with a sla-
ve adapter SCA 3083 digital (optional extra). The slave adapter is connec-
ted to the flash unit with the connecting cable SCA 3045 (optional extra).
Setting procedure
• Equip the flash unit with the connecting cable SCA 3045 and slave adap-
ter SCA 3083 digital.
• Adjust the setting mark for aperture preselection
at TTL.
• Switch on the flash unit with the main switch. The slave mode is automati-
cally activated. The AF auxiliary light in the connecting cable SCA 3045
flashes additionally when flash readiness is reached.
Please note that the mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital only supports the remote
channel “Ad1” of the controller! For further details relating to the sla-
ve mode please refer to the operating instructions for the slave adap-
ter!
