5.2.1 Automatic flash mode A of the mecablitz
The sensor integrated in the slave flash unit con-
trols the amount of light emitted by the mecablitz.
5.2.2 Manual flash mode M of the mecablitz
The mecablitz always emits the same defined
amount of light. Depending on the given mecablitz
model, it is possible to select between manual full
light output and manual partial light output levels.
The modes W ("winder"), "Motor Drive" and "Stro-
boscope" are partial light output levels.
5.3 Setting the mecablitz and the camera
5.3.1 ISO value of the mecablitz
The ISO sensitivity of the mecablitz must be ad-
justed manually to the ISO value of the camera (see
technical data of the given camera). In the event
that the precise ISO value of the camera cannot be
set on the mecablitz, then select the next closest
value. Avoid the "AUTO" ISO setting with digital
cameras!
If necessary take a series of test shots at diffe-
rent ISO values. Compare the exposures and
select the optimal setting for the given camera.
5.3.2 Cameras without the ability to set the
operating mode or lens aperture
Automatic flash mode A of the mecablitz
Set on the mecablitz the camera's widest aperture
opening (equalling the smallest f-number) (see
technical data of the given camera) as auto work-
ing aperture.
