Metz MECABLITZ 52 AF-1 digital Olympus - Manual (Page 148)

Automatic adjustment occurs for lens focal
lengths from 24 mm.
The automatic adjustment will not be
activated if the reflector is swivelled, if the
wide-angle diffuser
ቪ is pulled out, or a
Mecabounce (accessory) is mounted.
If so desired, the position of the reflector can
be manually adjusted in order to achieve
particular lighting effects (such as spot
effect etc.).
Manual zoom mode
The zoom position of the reflector must be
adjusted manually to the lens focal length
when used with a camera that doesnít
transmit the data related to the lens focal
length.
In this case auto-zoom mode is not possible!
After switching on the flash unit, „Zoom“
appears in the display and the current zoom
position of the reflector appears.
Setting procedure
• Press the ቨ button as often as it takes
for the selection menu to appear.
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display and select "Zoom".
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display and select the desired zoom
value.
After around 10 seconds, the operation
display appears, or press the
ቨ button
repeatedly until the operation display
appears. The following zoom positions are
possible for the reflector: 24 - 28 - 35 - 50 -
70 - 85 - 105 mm (35 mm format).
Tip:
If you do not necessarily need the full guide
number and maximum flash range of the
flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at
the position for the shortest focal length of
the zoom lens.
This will provide full light coverage of the
picture and eliminate the need to continually
adjust it to the focal length of the lens.
