Metz MECABLITZ 52 AF-1 digital Olympus - Manual (Page 141)

Range display in TTL and TTL FP flash modes
In the TTL flash modes TTL and TTL FP;
see 7.1) the value for the minimum and the
maximum range of the flash unit is displayed.
The value indicated relates to subjects with a
reflection factor of 25%, which applies to
most photographic situations.
Strong deviations from this reflection factor,
as in the case of highly reflective or poorly
reflective subjects, may affect the flash range
of the flash unit.
The subject should be in the range of 40% to
70% of the maximum range. This will give the
electronics sufficient scope for compen-
sation.
To prevent overexposure, the minimum
distance to the subject should not be
undershot
Adjustment to the photographic situation at
hand can be achieved by, for example,
changing the aperture of the setting on the
lens.
Range display in manual flash mode
In manual flash mode , the distance that
must be maintained from the subject for
correct flash exposure is indicated.
Adjustment to the photographic situation at
hand can be achieved by, for example,
changing the aperture setting on the lens or
selecting a manual partial light output level
(see 7.3).
Exceeding the display range
Flash ranges of up to 99 m or 99 ft can be
shown in the display.
This display range can be exceeded in the
case of high ISO values and large aperture
openings.
An arrow or triangle after the distance value
indicates that the display range has been
exceeded.
