The motor-zoom reflector of the mecablitz is
automatically set to the 24mm position when
in slave mode to provide the widest possible
coverage of flash light. However, the reflector
position of the mecablitz can be manually
adjusted to match the existing photographic
requirements (see operating instructions of the
given mecablitz). The reflector position of the
mecablitz need not coincide with the focal
length of the lens. The flash unit's reflector
must be directed towards the subject.
Please note that an activated automatic
switch-off of the mecablitz (Auto-Off) is also
effective in slave mode so that the flash unit
automatically switches off after 1 minute, 3
minutes or 10 minutes! On the mecablitz
44MZ-2 this will be accompanied by deactiva-
tion of the slave mode. The mecablitz 54 MZ-
... can be switched on again by turning the set-
ting disk. A mecablitz from the 40MZ-... series
must be switched off and then on again with
the main switch. For activation and deactivati-
on of the Auto-Off function please refer to the
operating instructions for the given mecablitz.
For "normal" flash mode (mecablitz mounted
on the camera) deactivate the "Wireless"
mode (WL) on the camera!
The following wireless modes are possible:
1. Controller: Folded-out camera flash unit
1.1 The controller does not contribute to the illumi-
nation but only controls the slave (mecablitz)
which illuminates the subject on its own.
1.2 The controller contributes one-third of the illu-
