Setting procedure for stroboscopic mode (Fig. 12):
•
Adjust the camera to manual mode, as explained in the
manufacturer’s operating instructions, and select the cor-
responding shutter speed (see Technical Data,Table 5).
1 Equip the flash unit with an SCA adapter or the SCA
301 standard foot, and switch on with the main switch.
2 Depress the Mode button repeatedly until flashes
on the display. Press the setting disk in the direction of
the arrow to store this setting.The selected operating
mode will be automatically stored after approx. 5
seconds if the setting disk is not pressed.The
icon will stop flashing after storage.
Stroboscopic mode when the mecablitz is fitted with
an SCA 3xx2 adapter:
If the mecablitz is operated with an SCA 3xx2 adapter
and a camera that automatically transmits the ISO film
speed, zoom reflector position and aperture parameters,
then no further settings will be necessary.The mecablitz
will automatically adjust itself according to the data
transmitted by the camera.The number of flashes and
the flash frequency must be set as explained in Sections
3 and 4 (see below).
If the mecablitz is operated with a camera that
transmits data to the mecablitz, then the ISO
film speed and the aperture cannot be changed.
Stroboscopic mode with an SCA 3xx adapter, the SCA
301 standard foot or a camera that does not transmit
data:
In this case the corresponding values for ISO film speed,
zoom position of the reflector and the aperture must be
manually adjusted on the mecablitz.This is indispensab-
le for correct flash exposure because the mecablitz uses
these data to calculate and display the flash-to-subject
distance required for correct flash exposure.
3 Determine the N number of flashes.To do so, turn the
setting disk until the arrow is in top position. Depress
the setting disk and turn to adjust the required N num-
ber of flashes. Store this setting by renewed depressi-
on of the setting disk.
4 Select the flash frequency f(Hz).Turn the setting disk
anti-clockwise until the arrow is next to f(Hz). Depress
the setting disk and turn to select the required flash
frequency f(Hz).Store this setting by renewed depres-
sion of the setting disk.
The distance to the moving subject is used as
distance value.To prevent overexposure of the
static this part of the picture should either be
