5.7 TTL flash mode
The mecablitz 36AF-3 is only suitable for the TTL flash mode.
The TTL flash mode is a very simple way to achieve excellent
flash shots. In this mode exposure readings are taken by a
sensor built into the camera which measures the light reach-
ing the film through the camera lens (TTL). The electronic
control circuit within the camera transmits a stop signal to the
mecablitz as soon as the film has been exposed by the cor-
rect amount of light, thereby instantly interrupting the flash.
The advantage of this flash mode is that all factors in-
fluencing correct exposure of the film (filters, change of aper-
ture and focal length with zoom lenses, extensions for close-
ups, etc.) are automatically taken into account. You need not
worry about setting the flash, the camera’s electronic system
automatically determines the correct amount of flash light
required.
If flash exposure was correct, the “o.k.” exposure confirma-
tion lights up.
