If required, the above flash units can be operated
off-camera with the SCA 3008A connecting cable.
The AF measuring beam integrated in the SCA
3008A cable then takes over the AF measuring
beam function of the flash unit.
Some camera types (e.g. E-1) only activate
the AF illuminator integrated in the camera.
The AF measuring beam of the flash unit will
then not be activated. The cameras E-10,
E–20P and E-20N do not support the AF mea-
suring beam of external flash units.
4.7 Automatic maximum flash range indication
Cameras equipped with a system flash shoe or a
5-pin system flash socket transmit to the flash
unit the data relating to ISO sensitivity, aperture,
focal length of the lens, and the adjusted exposure
correction. The flash unit computes the corre-
sponding maximum flash range on the basis of the
transmitted camera data and its own guide num-
ber.The maximum flash range is indicated by the
flash unit’s LC display (mecablitz 40 MZ-...,
44 MZ-2, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-.., 70 MZ.. and 76
MZ-5 digi). For more details please refer to the
operating instruction for the given flash unit.
To prevent overexposure, the minimum flash-to-
subject distance should be about 10 % of the ma-
ximum flash range.
