The mecablitz LC display will indicate the flash-to-subject distance required for a
correct flash exposure, given the parameters selected. By changing the aperture
setting or the partial light output, this value can be adjusted to fit the actual
distance to the subject.
Setting procedure:
• Press the
button (Parameters) until the desired
flash parameter
(P=partial light output) appears on the LC display.
• Set the desired value using the
and
but-
tons. The setting takes effect immediately.
• Press the button
to change the LC display back to
the normal view. If the button
is not pressed, the
display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.
The secondary reflector is not supported in the Stroboscopic flash mode.
If the secondary reflector was activated in the select menu, it will not also
flash in the Stroboscopic flash mode! In the display, the symbol for the
secondary reflector
will not be shown!

5.9 Spot-beam mode
In the spot beam mode, the AF measuring beam can be used to focus on a sub-
ject at low ambient light level without firing a flash when the shot is taken.
There is no flash-ready indicator in spot beam mode and no exposure control
indicator in the camera viewfinder. The camera is not set to its sync speed and
behaves as though there were no flash unit connected.
Spot beam mode is only activated when the flash unit is switched on and
is flash-ready (check the flash-ready indicator on the flash unit!).
When the camera shutter is released, no flash is fired. Please read the notes on
the AF measuring beam in chapter 18.
6 Flash parameters (Parameter menu)
For the flash unit to operate correctly, various flash parameters such as the
zoom position of the main reflector, aperture, ISO light sensitivity, etc. have to
be adjusted to match the camera.
For this automatic data transfer to occur, the flash unit has to be mounted on the
camera, and both devices have to be switched on. In addition, a data exchange
between the camera and flash unit has to be initiated, for which you simply
briefly press the shutter release. The maximum range as per the current flash
parameters is shown on the display.
