.)
To facilitate subject and pictorial composi-
tion, the camera flash can be combined with
an external flash unit (mecablitz) to perform
so-called contrast control when in P-TTL flash
mode. Here the camera flash provides 1/3 of
the required flash power and the external
flash unit provides the remaining 2/3.
Please observe the maximum possible flash
range (guide number) of both flash units to
ensure the correct operation of the contrast
control!
The benefits of contrast control can, however,
only be optimally exploited if the external
flash unit is set up at a reasonable distance
from the built-in camera flash.
To do so, the following original Pentax acces-
sories are available:
The "sync cable F 5P", combined with the
"adapter foot F" (to hold the external flash
unit) and "adapter foot FG" (for the connec-
tion to the camera). In this context, please
read the notes in the camera's operating
instructions.
The auto-focus measuring beam in the meca-
blitz cannot be used in the contrast control
mode.
