3. Switch on and shoot
You no longer have to first study many pages of
lengthy operating instructions before taking perfect
flash shots with your mecablitz in combination with
the SCA 3302 adapter and a Minolta camera. The
following short description will quickly enable you
to shoot brilliant flash pictures with the utmost
convenience.
3.1 Programmed auto flash mode
In the Program "P" mode, some cameras mix the
ambient light with the flashlight and, depending on
the camera's programming, determine whether the
flash is to be used as the main light source or for
fill-in purposes. The camera concerned automati-
cally adjusts a suitable shutter speed/aperture
combination and controls the flash in TTL mode
(also see Section 4.6).
3.1.1 Settings on the camera
Set your Minolta camera to Program "P" (see oper
ating instructions for the camera).
Some cameras permit various Subject Program
modes to be set, such as Portrait, Landscape,
Close-up, Action, Sports. Please refer to the
operatings instructions for the given camera.
3.1.2 Settings on the flash unit
Set the "TTL" or "EM" mode on your flash unit (EM
= Easy-Mode-TTL; only on 40 MZ-..., 50 MZ-5).
For digital cameras please additionally observe
the instructions in section 4.6.
