7.2 Cordless Metz automatic remote control mode

In 

the Metz automatic remote control mode the master flashgun at the camera controls the

additional flashguns (slaves) in such a manner that the auto flash mode is transferred to all
slave units. Exposure is controlled by the sensor (4) of the control unit. To implement this mode
all 40 MZ . . slave flashguns must first be fitted with an SCA 3080 slave adapter (Special
Accessories). 50 MZ-5 type slave flashguns do not require a slave adapter.

The Metz automatic remote control mode can be used with system, standard, old
mechanical and medium-format cameras.
The only precondition is that all cameras feature a synch contact/socket, and are
equipped with a 301 standard base or SCA adapter.

Adjusting procedure for the Metz automatic remote control mode:

• Adjust the camera to manual mode as explained in the manufacturer’s operating

instructions.

• Set a shutter synch speed of 1/60th sec. or slower on the camera.

•

Switch on the master flashgun (controller) with the main switch 

(16)

. A 40 MZ . . cannot be

used as master flashgun in conjunction with 50 MZ-5 flashguns.

•

Adjust the operating mode selector 

(28)

to 

A

.

•

Press the 

Remote

button 

(22) 

on the control unit. The distance values on the LC display

disappear.

•

Select the controller address 

Co 1

or 

Co 2

with the 

+

button

(24)

.

• Equip the 

40 MZ . . slave flashguns

with an SCA 3080 slave adapter; switch on with the

main switch and adjust to TTL. The 40 MZ . . slave flashguns have now been adjusted to
slave mode. Separate the 

50 MZ-5 slaves 

from the control unit, and switch on with the

main switch. The zoom position of the main reflector can be adjusted to 4 settings, with
switch 

: "0" = 28 mm, 1/4 = 35 mm, 1/2 = 50 mm and 1 = 85 mm.

•

Press the manual firing button 

(35) 

on the control unit, and fire a test flash.

• The slave will respond with a delayed flash, thereby indicating that it is ready for operation.

All slave units simultaneously acknowledge operating readiness when several slaves are
being jointly used.
If you find that a slave unit does not respond, this may indicate that the sensor 

(13)

in the

slave’s handle did not receive a light pulse. Turn the handle of the flashgun in such a
manner that the sensor 

(13)

can receive the light pulse from the master flash. Now fire

another test flash. A particularly short distance between master flash and slave may cause
the sensor 

(4)

to interrupt the emission of light before the information has reached the

slave. In this case widen the distance between control unit and slave, or set a larger f-
number, and repeat procedure No. 4.

Proceed as described in ch. 7.1 

to check and change the slave address, and to switch off

the automatic remote mode. A modelling light (approx. 4 sec.) can be triggered with the
modelling light button 

ML (19)

on the master flashgun so that the overall lighting conditions in

remote control mode can be assessed. All 50 MZ-5 slaves likewise emit a modelling light.
