7.1 Metz cordless auto remote operation
Proceed as described in ch. 7 to check and change the slave address, and to
switch off automatic remote operation. To assess the overall lighting conditions,
press the ML button
ባ for at least 2 seconds. This willl trigger a modelling light
(approx. 4 seconds). All slaves (40 MZ-1(i) and MZ-3(i) with SCA 3080 M-1 adap-
ter) likewise emit a modelling light.

8. Winder mode
The winder mode involves shooting a sequence of pictures at a rate of
several frames per second. It is a manual mode with partial light output
levels, and is only recommended with NiCad batteries or high-power alka-
line manganese batteries. Table 5 of the Technical Data indicates which
partial light output level is suited for a given frame frequency (frames per
second = flashes per second).
Using the winder in the manual mode
In the manual mode, the exposures are made with a fixed partial light output level
selected in conformity with the winder data given in Table 5 of the Technical Data.
Using the winder in auto and TTL modes
In these modes it is possible to ensure that a flash will be fired with each exposure
of a series of pictures. For this purpose a partial light output level can be adjusted in
conformity with the winder data (Table 5).
Shots that require less light are automatically controlled by the auto-
matic or TTL light output system and are, therefore, correctly exposed.
Shots that require more light than the adjusted partial light output
level may be underexposed!
