Normal Synchronisation; Slow Synchronisation (Slow); Synch Socket - Metz Mecablitz 64 AF-1 digital - Canon Bedienungsanleitung

14.2 Normal synchronisation

In normal synchronisation the flash unit is
triggered at the beginning of the shutter time
(first curtain synchronisation). Normal syn-
chronisation is the standard mode on all
cameras. It is suitable for most flash shots.
The camera, depending on the mode being
used, is switched to the flash sync speed.
Speeds between 1/30 sec. and 1/125 sec.
are customary (see the camera's operating
instructions).
No settings are necessary on the flash unit,
nor is there any display for this mode.

14.3 Slow synchronisation (SLOW)

A slow exposure (SLOW) gives added promi-
nence to the image background at lower
ambient light levels. This is achieved by adju-
sting the shutter speed to the ambient light.
Accordingly, shutter speeds that are slower
than the flash sync speed (e.g., shutter
speeds up to 30 sec.) are automatically adju-
sted by the camera. Slow synchronisation is
activated automatically on some camera
models in connection with certain camera
programs (e.g., a night shot program, etc.), or
it can be set on the camera (see the camera's
operating instructions). No settings are
necessary on the flash unit, nor is there any
display for this mode.
Slow synchronisation SLOW is set on the
camera (see camera's operating instructi-
ons)! Use a tripod when shooting with slow
shutter speeds to avoid blurred images!

A
mode , in manual flash mode
