Technical Data - Metz MECABLITZ 58 AF-1 Sony Bedienungsanleitung

o) The shots have shadows in the bottom of the image.
• Because of parallax error between lens and flash unit, close-up shots may not, depen-
ding on the focal length at the bottom of the image, be fully illuminated. Tilt the main
reflector downwards or turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of the reflector.
p) The shots are too dark.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash unit. Note: Using bounce flash
reduces the range of the flash unit.
• The subject contains very bright or highly reflective areas. The metering system
of the camera or flash unit is deceived as a result. Set a positive manual flash
exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV.
q) The shots are too bright.
• For close-ups it is necessary to ensure that certain minimum lighting distances
are maintained to avoid overexposure. The minimum distance from the subject
should be at least 10% of the maximum flash range indicated on the display..
r) The flash parameters for ISO film speed and the aperture (f-stop) cannot be
adjusted on the flash unit.
• There is an exchange of digital data between flash unit and camera through
which the ISO and aperture (f) values are automatically adjusted on the flash
unit. In this case the manual setting of ISO and aperture isn't possible!
s) The camera's f-stop and ISO values are not displayed and cannot be manu-
ally set on the flash unit.
• Digital data is automatically exchanged between the flash unit and camera. As
a result, it is not possible to manually set or change the f-stop and ISO values.
The system does not display the f-stop and ISO values (see Error! Reference
source not found.).
• F-stop and ISO values are displayed in Automatic A and Manual M Modes if
the flash unit is not operated on the camera, i.e. there is no exchange of data.
The values can now be manually changed, e.g. for use with a slave trigger
unit.
