(Ni) The 3D mode cannot be set on the mecablitz when in TTL mode.
• REAR mode has been set on the mecablitz and "REAR" is indicated on the
display.
Remedy: First switch on REAR mode and then 3D mode.
• The mecablitz must be fitted with the SCA 3402 adapter. The 3D TTL mode
can only be set on the mecablitz if it is mounted on a switched-on camera
that supports the 3D mode. Data exchange between camera and SCA adap-
ter must have taken place at least once (simply tap the camera release lightly
without tripping the shutter).
• The 3D TTL mode is not supported if the mecablitz is not ready for firing, if
the reflector has been swivelled out of its normal position or if the seconda-
ry reflector of the mecablitz has been switched on!
• 3D TTL flash operation is not possible in the Metz cordless remote mode!
• 3D TTL mode is only possible with the mecablitz 40 MZ-3(i), 50 MZ-5,
54 MZ-.. and 70 MZ-... flash units!
(Ca) The E-TTL mode cannot be activated.
• The mecablitz must be fitted with the SCA 3102 adapter. The E-TTL mode can
only be set on the mecablitz if it is mounted on a switched-on camera that
supports the E-TTL mode. Data exchange between camera and SCA adapter
must have taken place at least once (simply tap the camera release lightly
without tripping the shutter).
• The E-TTL mode is not supported if the secondary reflector of the mecablitz
has been switched on!
• The E-TTL mode is switched over to normal TTL mode when the secondary
reflector of the mecablitz is activated
Problem EOS D30: The mecablitz can no longer be triggered when in TTL
mode; change over to "Automatic"!
• The E-TTL flash mode is not possible in the Metz cordless remote flash
mode!
• The E-TTL mode is only possible with the mecablitz 40 MZ-3i, 40 MZ-1i
and 54 MZ-.. flash units!
Flash readiness is not achieved on the mecablitz when in remote flash
mode.
• The secondary reflector of the mecablitz has been switched on; the symbol
is indicated on the display.
Remedy: Switch off the secondary reflector.
Flash readiness indicator on the mecablitz is flashing.
• The modelling light function has been activated on the mecablitz.
Remedy: Deactivate the modelling light function on the mecablitz.
The ISO film speed cannot be adjusted on the mecablitz.
• The mecablitz has been fitted with an SCA 3xx2 adapter and is operated
with a camera that transmits the film speed data to the mecablitz. In this
case the ISO film speed setting is blocked.
The aperture cannot be adjusted on the mecablitz.
• The mecablitz has been fitted with an SCA 3xx2 adapter and is operated
with a camera that transmits the aperture data to the mecablitz. In this case
aperture setting is blocked.
The LC-display of the mecablitz displays "-" in place of the distance.
• The reflector of the mecablitz has been swivelled out of its basic position.
The distance can only be displayed if the reflector is in its basic position,
i.e. it has not been swivelled either horizontally or vertically.
The symbol for the secondary reflector on the LC-display of the mecablitz is
flashing. The flash readiness symbol on the mecablitz lights up.
• The secondary reflector has been activated even though the main reflector
is in its basic position, i.e. it has not been swivelled out of its basic position.
However, the use of a secondary reflector only makes sense if it takes over
the fill-in flash function when the main reflector has been swivelled or tilted.
The flashing secondary reflector symbol indicates that the secondary reflec-
tor must be switched off. The flashing symbol on the display disappears as
soon as the secondary reflector is switched off. The symbol appears per-
manently when the main reflector is swivelled out of its basic position.
