Should the LC display indicate meaningless informa-
tion or should the flashgun not work properly in the
individual modes, then proceed as follows:
• Switch off the flashgun by its main switch.
• Remove the batteries.
• Switch on the flashgun for approximately 1 second and
then switch it off again.
• Reload the used or new batteries.
Second-curtain synchronisation (REAR mode) cannot
be set on the mecablitz.
• Second-curtain synchronisation (REAR) can only be set
on the mecablitz if the latter is fitted with a suitable
SCA 3xx2 adapter (see SCA Adapter Operating Instruc-
tions) and is mounted on the switched-on camera.
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 camera must be able to support second-curtain
synchronisation (see Camera and SCA Adapter Opera-
ting Instructions)!
• (Ni): The Nikon 3D flash mode has been activated on
the mecablitz and the symbol is indicated on the
display. The Nikon 3D flash mode cannot be combined
with second-curtain synchronisation (REAR mode).
Remedy: First deactivate the 3D mode, then switch on
REAR.
• (Ni): The pre-flash function to diminish the red-eye
effect has been activated on the Nikon camera and the
symbol is indicated on the LC-display. The pre-
flash function cannot be combined with second-curtain
synch (REAR mode).
Remedy: First deactivate the red-eye pre-flash func-
tion on the camera, then select REAR mode.
• (Mi): With Minolta cameras, second-curtain synchroni-
sation (REAR mode) must always be set on the came-
ra! The mecablitz does not indicate the synchronisation
mode! Refer to the camera's operating instructions to
