8.2 Manual flash mode M
In this mode the flash unit emits an uncontrolled
flash at full light output (P 1/1) or partial light out-
put (P 1/2, P 1/4, P 1/8 or P 1/16).
Adaptation to the photographic situation is achiev-
ed by selecting the corresponding aperture and
ISO setting on the camera and flash unit or by set-
ting a partial light output (see Chapter 9.5). The
LC display will then indicate the flash-to-subject
distance to be maintained for a correct exposure
(see Chapter 10.3).
For system-induced reasons the light emitted
simultaneously by the camera’s internal flash
unit is not taken into account. This may result
in overexposure if the camera’s flash light
dominates (e.g. with close-ups or small par-
tial light output levels)!
Setting procedure
Continue depressing the “MODE” key on the slave
until “M” flashes on the display. The setting instantly
becomes effective and is automatically stored after
5 s. Then set aperture, ISO and reflector status as
flash parameters (see Chapter 9).
8.3 Metz-Remote Flash Mode SL
The Metz-Remote Flash Mode permits cordless re-
mote triggering of one or more off-camera slaves
by a special on-camera master flash unit (control-
ler). The slaves are controlled by the flash light from
the master flash unit. The on-camera “master” (con-
troller) must be able to support the cordless Metz
Remote System (only with mecablitz 40 MZ-...,
50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-...) and be switched to
the corresponding operating mode (see the operat-
ing instructions for the controller). The light output is
controlled by the camera (Metz-TTL-Remote Flash
Mode) or by a photo cell sensor in the master flash
unit (Metz Automatic Remote Flash Mode).
Setting procedure
Continue depressing the “MODE” key on the slave
until “SL” flashes on the display. Additionally, “Ad1”
is displayed to indicate the remote channel. The set-
ting becomes instantly effective and is automatically
stored after 5 s. The flash parameters do not have to
be set on the slave.
The slave flash unit only supports the Remote
Channel 1 (the LC display indicates”Ad1”).
