Metz Mecablitz 54 MZ-3 - Manual (Page 112)

The exposure correction value flashes on the meca-
blitz display
A flash exposure correction value (EV) is set on the
mecablitz, e.g. in TTL flash mode. The correction value
flashes on the mecablitz LC-display after it has been sto-
red.
Possible cause:
The camera system does not allow the setting of a cor-
rection value on the mecablitz! If necessary, the required
correction value must be set on the camera (see opera-
ting instructions for the given camera). The correction
value flashing on the mecablitz LC-display does not
influence the exposure!
NOTE: The flashing correction value as a warning signal
is not supported by all camera systems! Flash exposure
correction in "A" automatic mode of the mecablitz can
be set and executed with most system cameras (Minolta
is the exception!).
Flash bracketing cannot be set in TTL mode
The "Fb" flash bracketing function cannot be selected in
the TTL mode with the "Select" key of the mecablitz.
Possible cause:
Various cameras and camera systems do not support the
mecablitz flash exposure correction setting when in TTL
mode. Since flash bracketing operates with exposure
correction values, selection of flash bracketing is sup-
pressed right from the outset in the mecablitz menu.
However, "FB" flash bracketing in "A" automatic mode
of the mecablitz can be set and executed with most
system cameras (Minolta is the exception!). "Fb" flash
bracketing is not adjustable on the mecablitz 70 MZ-4!
(Pe): No flash readiness is indicated in the camera's
viewfinder even though the mecablitz flash ready
signal is illuminated. The mecablitz is not triggered
when the picture is shot.
• The mecablitz operates in spot-beam mode; only the
AF red-light emitter of the mecablitz is supported. The
operating mode selector of the SCA 3702 adapter is in
the "SB" position.
Remedy: Set the operating mode selector of the SCA
3702 adapter to the extreme left-hand position
,
i.e. first-curtain synchronisation.
(Pe): Correct exposure confirmation is given in the
camera's viewfinder (flash ready symbol flashes)
even though no picture was shot.
• This is a warning signal. The position of the zoom
reflector is not sufficient to ensure complete illuminati-
