7.2 Beep function (Beep)

The beep function allows the user to receive an acoustic signal for certain func-
tions of the flash unit. This allows the photographer to concentrate fully on the
subject and taking the picture, and not have to worry about any optical status
indicators.
The beep function signals when the flash is ready, when the correct flash exposu-
re has been reached, or when an error occurs.
Acoustic signals after the flash unit has been turned on:
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal after turning the flash

on indicates that the flash unit is ready.

Beep signals after taking a photograph:
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal directly after a picture is

taken indicates that the shot was exposed correctly and the flash is ready
again. If no beep signal sounds, then the shot was underexposed.

• A broken (— — —) beep signal directly after a shot indicates that the shot

was correctly exposed. The flash is only ready however after a second (about
two seconds) continuous beep.

Beep signals when adjusting automatic mode settings:
• A short beep signal as an alarm in automatic mode indicates that the aperture

and ISO settings exceed the permissible light control range. The auto aperture
of the mecablitz is then automatically adjusted to the next permissible value.
