Metz MECABLITZ 48 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones página 85

The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom position
of the lens.
• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit.
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Tap the
camera's shutter release.
• The flash unit is set to manual zoom setting "MZoom".
The sign for the zoom position of the reflector blinks in the display
• Warning advice of shading on the edge of the picture: The focus of the lens
(converted to 35 mm - small picture format 24x36) set on the camera is smal-
ler than the zoom position set on the reflector.
The P-TTL or P-TTL-HSS flash modes cannot be called up and/or set on the
flash unit.
• The camera does not support this flash mode. See camera's operating instruc-
tions.
• No data exchange took place between the flash unit and camera. Lightly touch
the shutter release.
The setting for manual TTL/P-TTL flash exposure correction has no effect.
• The camera does not support manual TTL flash exposure correction on the flash
unit.
Automatic switching to the flash sync speed fails to occur.
• The camera has a between-the-lens shutter (as do most compact cameras),
Switching to sync speed is therefore unnecessary.
• The camera is set to high-speed flash mode P-TTL-HSS.
In this case no switching to sync speed occurs.
• The camera operates with shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync
speed. Depending on the camera mode, there is no switch to flash sync speed
(see the camera's operating instructions).
The shots have shadows in the bottom of the image.
• Because of parallax error between lens and flash unit, close-up shots may not,
depending on the focal length at the bottom of the image, be fully illuminated.
Tilt the main reflector downwards or turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of the
reflector.
The shots are too dark.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash unit. Note: Using bounce flash
reduces the range of the flash unit.
• The subject contains very bright or highly reflective areas. The metering system
of the camera or flash unit is deceived as a result. Set a positive manual flash
exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV.
The shots are too bright.
• In close-up shots, overexposure (shots that are too bright) may result if the shutter
speed is faster than the flash sync speed. The minimum distance from the subject
should be at least 10% of the maximum flash range indicated on the display.
The flash parameters for ISO film speed and the aperture (f-stop) cannot be
adjusted on the flash unit.
• There is an exchange of digital data between flash unit and camera through
which the ISO and aperture (f) values are automatically adjusted on the flash
unit. In this case the manual setting of ISO and aperture isn't possible!
The REAR mode cannot be activated on the flash unit.
• No data exchange took place between the flash unit and camera. Lightly touch
the shutter release.
• The flash unit is set to high-speed flash mode P-TTL-HSS (see 16.4).
The contrast function mode cannot be set on the flash unit.
• No data exchange took place between the flash unit and camera. Lightly touch
the shutter release.
• The flash unit is set to high-speed flash mode P-TTL-HSS (see 16.4).
