mecablitz will automatically adjust itself in conformity
with the data transmitted by the camera.
If the mecablitz is used on a camera that trans-
mits data to the mecablitz, it can happen that
the ISO film speed will not be displayed
(depends on the camera type); see the operating
instructions for the SCA adapter. If the mecablitz
is being operated with a camera that transmits
data to the flash unit, it is impossible to change
the values for ISO film speed and aperture! In
this event continue changing the f-number on
the camera until the required distance is indica-
ted on the LC display of the mecablitz.
Manual flash mode with the SCA 3xx adapter or the
SCA 301 standard foot:
In this case the corresponding ISO film speed, zoom
reflector position and aperture parameters must be
manually set on the mecablitz. This is indispensable for
correct flash exposure because the mecablitz calculates
and displays the flash-to-subject distance required for a
correct exposure on the basis of these data.
Setting partial light output:
Partial light output can be set on the mecablitz if you
wish to change the distance range given for correct flash
exposure in order to adapt it to the existing picture-shoo-
ting situation:
• Continue turning the setting disk until the arrow sym-
bol appears next to P on the display.
• Push the setting disk in the direction of the arrow. The
arrow symbol starts flashing.
• Turn the setting disk to set the required partial light
output level. Press the setting disk in the direction of
the arrow for storage. The selected partial light output
will be automatically stored after approx. 5 seconds if
the setting disk is not pressed. After storage the arrow
symbol stops flashing.
Another possibility to modify the distance range for
adaptation to the individual picture shooting situation is
to change the aperture on the camera. You must, howe-
ver, take into account that a change of the camera's
aperture also influences the picture's depth-of-field.
Deleting the set partial light output:
• Turn the setting disk until the arrow symbol appears
next to P on the display.
• Push the setting disk in the direction of the arrow. The
arrow symbol starts flashing.
• Turn the setting disk to select partial light output P 1/1.
