Remote Slave Flash Mode ( Sl ) - Metz MECABLITZ 48 AF-1 digital Nikon Bedienungsanleitung

Manual zoom mode
In the case of cameras from Group A or when using a lens without CPU (for
example, manual focus lens), the zoom position of the main reflector
adjusted manually to the lens focal length. In this case auto-zoom mode is not
possible! After switching on the flash unit, „Zoom" appears in the display and
the current zoom position of the main reflector
Setting procedure
• Press button combination „Select" until „Zoom" appears flashing next to the
zoom position (mm).
• Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ). The flashing display
changes to „M.Zoom" for manual zoom mode. The following zoom positions
are possible for the main reflector:
24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 mm (35 mm format).
The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
When the camera transmits the lens focal length to the flash unit and a
manual zoom setting results in the shot not being completely lit by the
main reflector (for example, spot effect), the display of the zoom position
of the main reflector flashes as a warning!
Tip:
If you do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range
of the flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest
focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture
and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens.
Example:
You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. In this
case, you set the position of the main reflector of the flash unit to 35 mm.
