aperture data to the mecablitz. In this case aperture
setting is blocked.
The LC-display of the mecablitz displays "-" in place
of the distance.
• The reflector of the mecablitz has been swivelled out
of its basic position. The distance can only be display-
ed if the reflector is in its basic position, i.e. it has not
been swivelled either horizontally or vertically.
The symbol for the secondary reflector on the LC-
display of the mecablitz is flashing. The flash readin-
ess symbol on the mecablitz lights up.
• The secondary reflector has been activated even
though the main reflector is in its basic position, i.e. it
has not been swivelled out of its basic position. Howe-
ver, the use of a secondary reflector only makes sense
if it takes over the fill-in flash function when the main
reflector has been swivelled or tilted. The flashing
secondary reflector symbol indicates that the secon-
dary reflector must be switched off. The flashing sym-
bol on the display disappears as soon as the secon-
dary reflector is switched off. The symbol appears
permanently when the main reflector is swivelled out
of its basic position.
The symbol for the secondary reflector on the LC–dis-
play of the mecablitz is flashing. The flash readiness
indicator on the mecablitz does not light up.
• The mecablitz has been set for remote controller ope-
ration. "Co" is indicated on the LC-display. However,
remote mode is only supported by the main reflector.
The mecablitz does not fire a flash because flash rea-
diness is not indicated.
Remedy: Either deactivate the remote controller mode
or switch off the secondary reflector.
The LC-display of the mecablitz displays "Co" in pla-
ce of the distance.
• The mecablitz is in remote controller mode. Distances
are never indicated in this mode.
Flash exposure correction cannot be selected with
the setting disk when the mecablitz is in remote
controller mode.
NOTE: Flash exposure correction is never effective
when in automatic remote mode.
• Flash exposure correction can only be activated in TTL
remote mode when this is set BEFORE the mecablitz is
set for controller mode. The correction value is not
indicated in remote controller mode, but it does remain
effective. The LC display of the mecablitz indicates the
