M
Manual flash mode
Flash mode with unregulated
light output. The flash unit delivers
the full light output, if no partial light output
is set.
Manual zoom
The zoom position of the
main reflector and thus the illu-
mination of the flash unit can be adjusted
manually to the lens focal length.
Modeling light
Modeling light is a stroboscope
light with a high flash frequency
lasting a few seconds. With this “quasi per-
manent light”, the light dispersion and
shadow formation at the subject can be
checked before taking the photograph.
Motor zoom
The zoom position of the main
reflector and hence the illumina-
tion of the flash unit can be adjusted auto-
matically to the lens focal length.
P
Partial light mode
Manual flash mode with unregu-
lated light output. By setting par-
tial light mode on the flash unit, the light
output or illumination duration of the flash
unit can be adapted specifically to the pho-
tographic situation.
P-TTL
Modern further development
of the TTL flash control with
measurement pre-flash technique for
Pentax and Samsung cameras.
R
REAR
Synchronisation to the 2nd shutter
curtain for more natural blurring
effects for longer exposure times.
Remote operation
A remote system consists of a
master or controller flash unit on
the camera and one or more slave flash
units. The slave flash unit is remotely con-
trolled wirelessly by the master or controller
flash unit. With a master flash unit, the flash
light contributes to the exposure, in contrast
to a controller flash unit.
S
SCA 3002 adapter system
For system cameras with digital
or analog data transmission be-
tween the camera and flash unit. By using
an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 sys-
tem, there are numerous additional system
flash functions available with flash units
from the SCA 3002 system, depending on
the type of camera. The firmware of an
SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system
is updateable via Metz service for future
cameras. The SCA 3002 adapters are an
updated version of the SCA 3000 system.
SCA 300 adapter system
For system cameras for adapta-
tion to flash units of the SCA
3002 or SCA 300 system. Depending on
the type of camera, not all system flash
functions are supported by the SCA 300
system.
Secondary reflectorr
To brighten shadows cast in the
close-up ranges which appear
when using an indirect flash.
Slave mode
An integrated sensor makes this
wireless slave flash mode pos-
sible in combination with a master or con-
troller flash unit. (>>> Remote operation)
Stroboscope mode
Manual flash mode for flash
sequences with a selectable
intensity, frequency, and number of flashes,
e.g. for special effect photos and motion
studies.
Swivel reflector
Can be tilted horizontally and
vertically for indirect flash.
Can be tilted vertically for indi-
rect flash.
T
TTL flash control
While taking the photograph,
the flash light is measured
through the lens (TTL = through the lens) by
a sensor in the camera. The light output of
the flash unit is terminated as soon as the
subject is correctly exposed.
TTL fill-in flash control
Reduces too high subject contrast
(e.g. to brighten dark shadowy
areas in bright sunshine).
U
USB
Interface for firmware updates
via the Internet.
W
Wake-up
The flash unit can be reactivat-
ed by actuating the shutter re-
lease if the flash is in energy-saving stand-
by mode after an extended break from
taking photographs.
(>>> Automatic unit switch-off)
Wide-angle attachment
Increases the light angle of the
flash unit. Depending on the
type of flash unit, the wide-angle attach-
ment is either integrated or attachable as
an accessory.
Z
Zoom size
Automatic adaptation of the dis-
play of the reflector position of
the flash unit to the picture-taking chips for
digital cameras.
