and 70 MZ-... TTL flash control is an automatic
flash mode where flash exposure is measured by a
sensor built into the camera. In principle, the TTL
flash mode with a Sony digital camera is a partial-
light-output related GN mode with preflash mete-
ring, where one or more pre-flashes are fired a
fraction of a second before the picture is shot. The
TTL flash control is supported by all camera modes
(e.g. P, A, S, M).
The TTL flash mode of Sony digital cameras
must not be mistaken with the standard TTL
flash control of analog cameras! We therefore
recommend that the secondary reflector of
the flash unit (e.g. 45 CL-4, 50 MZ-5,
54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-5) is not activated. The
Metz Remote TTL Mode is not supported on
account of the pre-flash system.
Settings:
• Switch the flash unit to TTL mode (see operating
instructions for the given flash unit).
• Set the SELECT switch ᕃ of the adapter in the
“B” position.
• Set the switch ᕄ of the adapter in the “GN”
position.
The RED-EYE REDUCTION preflash function is
supported by the above flash units.
3.1.3 Manual flash mode M
The mecablitz always emits the same defined
amount of light. Depending on the mecablitz
model, full light output or partial light output levels
can be chosen. The Winder („W“) or Stroboscopic
Mode are partial light output levels.
