9. Correct-exposure confirmation on the
mecablitz
In the modes TTL, Easy-Mode EM (only on
50 MZ-5), E-TTL, E-TTL-HSS and auto mode A of
the mecablitz, an LED will light up for approx. 3
seconds as a visual “ok” signal to indicate correct
exposure.
Some flash units (mecablitz 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-..., 70
MZ-.. and 76 MZ-5) supplement the visual
indication by an acoustic signal (bleep). For further
details please refer to the operating instructions for
the mecablitz.
Note:
The viewfinder of the EOS does not indicate
whether the exposure was correct!
10. Second-curtain synchronisation
(REAR)
Synchronization with the shutter's second curtain
(REAR) is particularly advantageous when shooting
moving objects that have their own source of light
with a slow shutter speed (longer than 1/30th
second). Second-curtain synchronisation gives a
more realistic impression of movement because
the light streaks behind the light source instead of
building up in front of it, as is the case when the
flash is synchronised with the first curtain.
Mount the camera on a tripod for this mode to
avoid camera shake with slow shutter
speeds.
