8. Autofocus measuring flash
The integrated AF red-light beam of the mecablitz
supports the automatic focusing of autofocus TTL
cameras. When the prevailing light is insufficient
for automatic focusing, the mecablitz will project
a pattern of red vertical stripes onto the subject as
soon as the camera’s release is lightly touched.
The camera’s autofocus system then focuses the
picture by this striped pattern.
Notes:
• When the camera’s autofocus system is on, the
electronic circuit will automatically activate the
autofocus measuring flash whenever the
prevailing light is insufficient for the exposure.
• The autofocus measuring flash cannot be
activated in every exposure mode or AF mode of
the camera. In most cases, it will only support
the SINGLE-AF function (see camera’s operating
instructions) without follow-up focusing.
• The range of the autofocus measuring flash
depends on the speed of the lens (maximum
aperture)! With an f/1.8 standard lens of 50 mm
focal length, the range is approx. 6-10 m (depen-
ding on the sensitivity of the camera’s AF sen-
sor).
Low-speed lenses, e.g. with an aperture of f/5.6
or f/8 (such as zoom lenses) , significantly restrict
the range of the autofocus measuring flash!
