4. Automatic flash mode
In the auto flash mode a sensor (Fig.5) built into the
mecablitz measures the light reflected off the subject.
The flash is cut off as soon as sufficient light has been
emitted for correct exposure.This eliminates the need to
recalculate and reset the aperture each time the
distance is changed, provided that the subject remains
within the indicated maximum flash range.
The sensor of the mecablitz must be directed at the sub-
ject, regardless of the direction in which the main reflec-
tor is pointing.The sensor has a coverage of 25°, and
only measures during light emission by the mecablitz.
The „ok“ display on the mecablitz lights up for approx. 3
sec. when flash exposure was correct.
The automatic flash mode is possible with an SCA adap-
ter and with the SCA 301 standard foot.
Some cameras will not support the mecablitz in
automatic flash mode when an SCA adapter is
used (see operating instructions for the given
camera and SCA adapter).In this case the
mecablitz should be fitted with the SCA 301
standard foot.
Setting procedure for automatic flash mode:
• Equip the mecablitz with an SCA adapter or the SCA
301 standard foot and mount on the camera.
• Adjust the camera as described in its operating
manual.
1 Switch on the mecablitz with the main switch.
2 Depress the Mode button repeatedly until A flashes on
the display. Push the setting disk in the direction of the
arrow for storage.The selected operating mode will be
automatically stored after approx. 5 seconds if the set-
ting disk is not pressed.The A icon will stop flashing
and remain permanent after storage.
• If the mecablitz is used with an SCA 3xx2 adapter and
a camera that automatically transmits the data for ISO
film speed, zoom reflector position and aperture, then
no further settings are required.The mecablitz will
automatically adjust itself in conformity with the trans-
mitted camera data.
When the mecablitz is operated with a camera
that transmits data to the mecablitz, it can hap-
pen that the ISO film speed will not be displayed
(depends on the camera type); see operating
instructions for the SCA adapter. It may then be
impossible to change the ISO film speed and
aperture setting!
