Bounce Flash With A Reflector Card; Flash Exposure Memory - Metz MECABLITZ 44 AF-1 digital Bedienungsanleitung

When tilting the main reflector vertical-
ly, make sure that it is turned through
an angle that is wide enough to pre-
vent direct light from falling on the
subject. For this reason the reflector
should be tilted at least as far as the
60° lock-in position. When the reflector
head is tilted, the main reflector is
moved to a position of greater/equal
70 mm in order to prevent the subject
from being additionally illuminated by
dispersed light.

9.3 Flash exposure memory FE
Several Nikon and Canon cameras have
a flash exposure memory (FV memory).
This is supported by the flash unit in the
Nikon i-TTL and i-TTL-BL or in the Canon
E-TTL flash modes.
It can be used to define and store the
exposure level for the subsequent shot
before the shot is actually taken.
This can be useful when, for example, the
flash exposure has to be adjusted to speci-
fic details that may not be necessarily be
identical with the main subject.
The function is activated on the camera, in
some instances as an individual func-tion.
The subject detail to which the flash expo-
sure is to be adjusted is sighted and
brought into focus with the AF
sensor/metering window in the camera.
Pressing the camera's AE-L/AF-L button
(Nikon) or FE button (Canon - the descrip-
tion may vary from camera to camera;
see camera operating manual) causes the
flash unit to fire a test flash.
The stored metering value, for example
"EL" or "FEL", is then displayed in the
camera viewfinder.
