Example of Extended-Zoom mode:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. In the Extended-Zoom mode
the mecablitz adjusts the reflector position to 35 mm.
Setting procedure to adapt the focal length to the camera format:
• Depress the Select button repeatedly until „Zoom“ appears on the display.
Turn the setting disk to adapt the focal length to the given camera format:
Key to the displays:
Zoom
without additional display = Setting for 35mm format (= normal set-
ting).
Auto Zoom
with the following additional displays:
E Extended-Zoom mode (only for 35mm cameras)
APS Adaptation to APS cameras
F1 Adaptation to medium format cameras: 4.5x6
F2 Adaptation to medium format cameras: 6x6, 6x7 or 6x9
• Having selected the required setting, press the setting disk in the direction
of the arrow for storage. The selected setting is automatically stored after
5 seconds if the setting disk is not pressed. The setting is retained after the
mecablitz has been switched off.
The symbol that appears on the LC display of the flash unit after storage
indicates that one of the afore-listed focal length adaptations is set.
12.6 Flash bracketing (“Fb”) (Fig. 8)
(not possible with 70 MZ-4)
A series of flash exposures known as flash bracketing / flash exposure
bracketing can be made with the mecablitz in the TTL and A modes.
A flash bracketing series consists of three successive flash shots with different
flash exposure correction values. The first shot in the series is taken without a
correction value, the second one with a minus correction, and the third one
with a plus correction. The mode is automatically cancelled after the third
shot.
„Fb“ flash bracketing in TTL mode:
Flash bracketing in TTL mode is only possible if the mecablitz is fitted with a
suitable SCA adapter (SCA 3xx2) and if the camera supports manual flash
exposure with the mecablitz.
If the camera does not support manual flash exposure, a correction factor for
flash bracketing can be set on the mecablitz, but the camera will expose the
pictures without such correction. Please refer to the operating instructions for
the given camera and the SCA adapter!
„Fb“ flash bracketing in A mode:
For flash bracketing in A mode, it is sufficient if the mecablitz is equipped
with an SCA 301 standard foot. However, flash bracketing in A mode is also
possible with an SCA adapter!
With some cameras ”Fb” flash bracketing in A mode is not possible
for technical reasons!
With some cameras flash bracketing in the automatic mode is not possible if
the mecablitz is not equipped with an SCA 301 standard foot.
Please refer to the operating instructions for the given camera and SCA
adapter.
Activating “Fb” flash bracketing:
• Repeatedly depress the Select button until „Fb“ appears on the display.
Turn the setting disk to select the required correction factor for flash
bracketing. „EV“ and the selected correction factor will then flash on the
display. Press the setting disk in the direction of the arrow for storage. The
setting will be automatically stored after approx. 5 seconds if the setting
disk is not pressed.
„Fb 1“ appears on the display of the mecablitz to indicate the first shot within
the flash exposure series. This picture is shot without any correction factor.
When the first shot has been taken, the display changes to „Fb 2“. In addi-
tion, „EV“ and the minus correction factor for the second picture are indi-
cated.
