Metz Mecablitz 54 MZ-3 - Manual (Page 66)

12.3 Automatic shut-off (Fig. 15)
To protect the batteries from unintentional discharge, the
mecablitz can be set to automatically switch off 1 minute
or 10 minutes after the flash was activated for the last
time (flash shot, setting procedure or tripping the came-
ra’s shutter release).
The last used mode is retained after automatic shut-off
so that it becomes instantly available when the flash unit
is switched on again.
If the mecablitz is equipped with the SCA 3xx2 adapter, it
can be switched on again merely by touching the came-
ra’s shutter release.
If the mecablitz is equipped with an SCA 3xx adapter or
the SCA 301 standard foot, it can be switched on again
merely by actuating the setting disk.
Setting automatic shut-off
• Press the Select button of the mecablitz repeatedly
until the clock icon flashes.
• Turn the setting disk to select the „Auto shut-off time“
1m (1 minute) or 10m (10 minutes). ON is additionally
displayed. Briefly press the setting disk in the direction
of the arrow for storage. The selected setting will be
automatically stored after 5 seconds if the setting disk
is not pressed. The clock icon will then appear on the
LC-display of the mecablitz.
Switch off the mecablitz by its mains switch if it
is not going to be used for an extended period of
time!
Deactivating automatic shut-off:
• Repeatedly depress the Select key until the clock
symbol flashes. Turn the setting disk until OFF is dis-
played. Press the setting disk briefly in the direction of
the arrow to store this setting. The selected setting is
automatically stored if the setting disk is not pressed
within 5 seconds. The clock symbol on the LC display
of the mecablitz is deleted.
