3.1 Preconditions

The mecablitz must only be used with TTL
flash controlled cameras!
The sensor of TTL flash controlled cameras
measures the light reaching the film through the
camera lens and instantly cuts out the flash
when the film has been correctly exposed (see
also page 29). Please refer to the camera's
operating instructions to find out whether your
camera features this function.
If there is a flashgun integrated in the camera
it must be switched off or completely folded
down when the mecablitz is used.
3.2 Switching the flashgun on and off, film speed
ON/OFF switching: Turn on the mecablitz with the
I switch. The green operating light will light up. The
orange flash ready light illuminates when flash
readiness is reached. Press the 0 switch to turn off
the flashgun. The green and orange lights are instantly
switched off. No flash will be fired for the next shot if
the mecablitz remains in this state on the camera.
