Sony Metz SCA 3302 M7 - Manual (Page 13)

There is no automatic flash synch speed control
with the digital cameras Dimage .... These cameras
permit flash operation at all shutter speeds. Do not
use shutter speeds faster than 1/125 sec. if the
photographic situation requires the full light output
of the mecablitz.
4.4 Slow synchronisation
Various Minolta cameras feature a slow synch
function for flash operation. It permits the backgro-
und to be properly exposed when the ambient light
level is low. This is achieved by adapting the came-
ra’s shutter speed to the existing lighting condi-
tions when speeds are used that are slower than
the camera’s synch speed. Slow synchronisation is
activated on the camera by pressing the “SPOT” or
“AEL” key. For more details please refer to the
operating instructions for the camera.
Tip:
To be on the safe side, use a tripod in this operating
mode to prevent camera shake due to slow shutter
speeds.
4.5 Triggering control
The camera prevents the triggering of a flash if the
ambient light level is sufficient for an exposure in
the normal mode. The exposure is then completed
with the shutter speed given in the display or view-
finder of the camera. The triggering control is
activated when the flash-ready signal in the came-
ra viewfinder is extinguished. In this event no flash
is fired when the camera’s shutter is tripped.
