5 Press the manual firing button
ተ
on the flashgun mounted on the camera and
fire a test flash.

The slave unit responds with a delayed flash, thus confirming that it is ready
for operation. If several slaves are used at the same time, all will react simul-
taneously.The LC display indicates SL 1 or SL 2, depending on the controller
address selected (Fig. 17). If, after a test flash has been fired, proper function
is not confirmed by one of the slave units in the form of a delayed flash, then
the sensor
²
in the SCA adapter has not received any light pulse. Should this
be the case, rotate the rotary base
»
of the flash unit so that the sensor
²
can receive a light pulse, and repeat step 5.

Here, „remote operation“ means cordless firing of additional (slave) flash-
guns. The master flashgun (controller) mounted on the camera controls the
additional flash units (slaves) in such a manner that automatic exposure
control in TTL mode is extended to all slaves.
The Metz TTL remote operation permits joint cordless TTL flash control of several
40 MZ-.. and 50 MZ-5 flash units. For this purpose all slaves must be fitted with an
SCA 3080 Slave Adapter which is available as an optional extra.The slaves can be
mounted on the stand supplied with the SCA 3080 or on a tripod.
