Technical Data - Metz MECABLITZ 58 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones

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 manu-
al flash exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV.
The shots are too bright.
• For close-ups it is necessary to ensure that certain minimum lighting distances
are maintained to avoid overexposure. The minimum distance from the sub-
ject 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!
