diness simultaneously If a slave does not respond by
firing a delayed flash, then this means that the sensor in
the adapter did not receive the light pulse. Turn the sen-
sor in the direction of the controller and repeat the pro-
cedure described in step 4.

A particularly short distance between controller

and slave unit may cause the camera’s electro-
nic system to cut off the flash before the slave
has received its light pulse. In such an event
widen the distance between the controller and
slave or select a higher f-number and repeat
procedure No. 4.

Deactivating the Metz TTL remote mode

• Press the Mode button on the controller and deactivate

the controller mode with the setting disk.

• On the slave:

Switch off the flash unit, remove the SCA 3082 slave
adapter, and finally switch on the flash unit again.

7.2 Metz cordless auto remote mode

The introduction of Chapter 7 also applies here.

The Metz auto remote mode can be used with

system, standard, old mechanical and medium-
format cameras. The only precondition is that all
cameras feature a synch contact/socket and
that the flash unit is equipped with an SCA 301
standard foot or SCA adapter.

Setting procedure for the Metz auto remote control-
ler mode:

• Equip the mecablitz with an SCA adapter or the SCA

301 standard foot, and switch on.

• Switch the camera to manual mode as described in

the camera’s operating instructions.

Automatic flash mode or auto remote flash

mode are not supported by all cameras in con-
junction with an SCA adapter (see operating
instructions of the camera and the SCA adapter).
If a camera, in combination with an SCA adapter,
does not support the automatic flash mode, then
equip the mecablitz with the SCA 301 standard
foot. In this event do not forget to manually
transfer the camera settings (ISO, f-stop and
zoom position) to the mecablitz!
