6. Bounce flash
Bouncing the flash in the auto and TTL modes
It is advisable to check prior to the actual exposure whether the light is sufficient
for the selected aperture. Proceed in the manner described in ch. 14, p. 46.
Bouncing the flash in the manual mode
The required camera aperture in the manual mode is best established with an
exposure meter. Observe the following rule of thumb if an exposure meter is not
available:
Camera aperture =
Guide number
Light distance x 2
to establish a guide value for the aperture that can then be varied by + 1 f-stop
for the actual exposure.

Here, „remote operation“ means cordless firing of additional (slave) flash-
guns. The master flashgun (controller) mounted on the camera controls the
additional flash units (slaves) in such a manner that automatic exposure
control in TTL mode is extended to all slaves.
The Metz TTL remote operation permits joint cordless TTL flash control of several
40 MZ-.. and 50 MZ-5 flash units. For this purpose all slaves must be fitted with an
SCA 3080 Slave Adapter which is available as an optional extra. The slaves can be
mounted on the stand supplied with the SCA 3080 or on a tripod.
