2.3 Battery check
This facility can only be used to test dry-cell alkaline-
manganese batteries. The battery indicator lamp lights
up when the batteries still have sufficient power. If the
indicator lamp does not light up, the batteries contain
only a low residual capacity and should be replaced
with a new set.
2.4 Mounting the mecablitz on the camera
• Turn the knurled nut of the mecablitz right up
against the flashgun.
• Slide the mecablitz into the camera’s accessory
shoe.
• Turn the knurled nut of the mecablitz right up
against the camera, thereby clamping the flash-
gun on the camera.
2.5 Synchronisation
The mecablitz is fitted with a hot shoe contact for
simple flash synchronisation.
2.6 Switching the flashgun on and off
Switch on the mecablitz with switch I. This causes
the green operating light to become illuminated.
Press the O switch to switch off the flashgun. The
green operating light is now turned off, but the
mecablitz remains ready for operation as long as the
orange flash-ready light is on.
