exposure, otherwise an unwanted slow shutter
speed could result in camera shake with “nor-
mal” flash shots.
4.13 High-speed synchronisation HSS
Some Minolta cameras support HSS high-speed
synchronisation.This flash mode makes it possible
to take flash shots at shutter speeds faster than the
camera’s flash synch speed. This mode is particu-
larly interesting in portraiture with very bright
ambient light when the depth of field is to be limit-
ed by way of a wide open lens (e.g. f/2.0)!
The mecablitz 45 CL-4 digi, 54 MZ-..., in conjunc-
tion with the SCA 3302 adapter, supports this flash
mode which is indicated on the LC display of the
54 MZ-... by the letters “HSS” (= high-speed syn-
chronisation). The HSS flash mode can be additio-
nally activated in the TTL mode and in the manual
mode M of the mecablitz.
Due to the system, using high-speed synchronisa-
tion diminishes the guide number, which in turn
can significantly reduce the working range of the
flashgun.
The guide number depends on the camera shutter
speed.
When using high-speed synchronisation HSS, it is
not possible to operate the flash with a secondary
reflector!
