17.1 Controller mode
• Switch the camera to the manual mode M.
• Set a shutter speed of 1/60 sec. or slower.
• Select a suitable aperture on the camera.
• Fit the flash unit with an SCA adapter or standard foot 301.
• Set the flash mode TTL (for Metz TTL remote) or auto A (for Metz automatic
remote) on the controller flash unit (see 6)
To operate as controller in the cordless Metz TTL remote mode, the
camera and SCA adapter must support the standard TTL flash mode!
• Press the button “Sel” repeatedly until “Select” appears in the display.
• Select “Remote” with the Up / Down buttons
̆̄. Remote is then highligh-
ted with a bar.
• Press the button “Set” and so confirm the menu selection.
• Select the remote address “Co” (controller) with the Up / Down buttons
̆̄. Here, the settings Co1 (remote address 1), Co2 (remote address 2)

tely.

“Co” flashes in the field for flash mode in the display and so indicates the

• Wait for the flash readiness of the controller and slaves.
• Trigger a test flash: press the manual firing button
ቩ ቲ and in this way
programme the slaves to the remote address set on the controller.
• The slave flash unit responds with a delayed flash and in this way indicates
☞
☞ that it has been programmed and is operational. If several slaves are ope-
rated simultaneously, all the slaves will acknowledge flash readiness simul-
taneously.
If a slave does not respond by firing a delayed flash, then this means that the
sensor
ብ in the slave flash unit did not receive the light pulse of the control-
ler. Turn the slave flash unit so that the sensor ብ can receive the light pulse of
the controller. Then retrigger a test flash on the controller.
17.2 Slave mode without control unit
• Switch off the flash unit with the main switch ት.
• Remove the control unit. To remove the control unit’s cable, press the
unlocking catch (Fig. 1) on the mount holder against the cable’s plug while
pulling out the cable.
• Set up the slave flash unit at the position planned and switch it on. When
operating the handle mount without control unit the slave flash mode is
activated automatically.
• Wait until the flash readiness indicator ቲ lights up.
• Trigger a test flash on the controller (see 17.1).
After being programmed successfully, the slave fires a delayed flash and
the flash readiness indicator flashes (see 17.1.4).
The zoom position of the main reflector can be set with the switch ተ
in four steps:
Position 0 = 28 mm; Position 1/4 = 35 mm;
Position 1/2 = 50 mm; Position 1 = 85 mm.
