Setting procedure for Metz TTL remote controller
operation (Fig. 8):
1 Equip the flash unit mounted on the camera with the
appropriate SCA adapter and turn on with the main
switch.
2 Depress the MODE button repeatedly until TTL flashes
on the display.
3 While the TTL mode is flashing, turn the setting disk
and select the address Ad1 or Ad2 for the Co control-
ler mode. Depress the MODE button in the event that
TTL is no longer flashing. Briefly press the setting disk
in the direction of arrow for storage. The selected set-
ting will be automatically stored after 5 seconds if the
setting disk is not pressed. TTL will then be perma-
nently displayed (without flashing), together with Co

Setting procedure for Metz TTL remote slave operati-
on (Fig. 9):
• Equip the 54 MZ-3 slave flash unit with an SCA 3082
slave adapter, and the 40 MZ-.. slave flash unit with an
SCA 3080 or 3082 slave adapter.
1 Switch on the mecablitz with the main switch. The
mecablitz is automatically set to TTL mode, and SL
(slave mode) is indicated on the LC display. The adju-
sted slave address is Ad1 (or the last selected
address).
2 If you wish to change the slave address, press the
MODE button. The TTL mode icon will then flash. Turn
the setting disk and select Ad2. Push the setting disk
in the direction of the arrow for storage.
When in remote mode, the power zoom reflector
of the mecablitz is automatically adjusted to the
24 mm position in order to achieve the widest
possible illumination. This reflector position can
be manually changed (see Chapter 12).
• When flash readiness is reached, the flash-ready indi-

beam starts flashing. An additional acoustic signal
(bleep) can be activated to indicate flash readiness
(see Chapter 12). This is useful when there is no visual
contact with the AF measuring beam or the flash-ready
indicator.
4 Press the manual firing button of the mecablitz
controller mounted on the camera to fire a test flash.
• The slave will respond with a delayed flash to indicate
