Cordless Flash Mode; Remote Slave Flash Mode ( Sl ) - Metz MECABLITZ 50 AF-1 digital Nikon Bedienungsanleitung

9.2 Cordless flash mode

9.2.1 Remote slave flash mode (
The flash unit supports the wireless Nikon remote system in slave flash mode
and is compatible with the Nikon system „Advanced Wireless Lighting". Here
wireless remote control of one or several slave flash units by one master or con-
troller flash unit on the camera (for example, mecablitz 58 AF-1N) is possible.
A slave flash unit can be assigned to one of three possible slave groups
(GROUP A, B or C). The master or controller flash unit can control all of these
slave groups simultaneously and at the same time take the settings for each
slave group into account.
So that multiple remote systems in the same room do not interfere with one
another, there are four independent remote channels available (CH 1, 2, 3 or
4). Master, controller and slave flash units belonging to the same remote system
must be set to the same remote channel. The slave flash units must be able to
receive the light from the master or controller flash unit with the integrated sen-
sors for the remote mode .
Depending on the camera model, the camera's internal flash unit can
also function as master or controller flash unit. Please consult the respec-
tive camera operating instructions for further tips on setting the master
or controller flash unit.
