5.5 Automatic fill-in flash mode

When shooting in automatic fill-in flash mode in daylight, the automatic flash

mode

will automatically set a correction of between -1 and -2 f-stops to

compensate for flash exposures (see 6.4 and 10.5).
This has a graduated lightening effect on shadowy areas, which has a natural

appearance on the photograph.

5.6 Manual flash mode

In the manual flash mode

, the flash unit emits the full uncontrolled amount

of light if no partial light output has been selected. The specific photographic

situation can be taken into account by making adjustments to the aperture set-

ting or by selecting a suitable partial light setting.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

button until „Mode“ flashes on the

LC display.

• Choose the flash mode

using the

and

arrows. The flash mode M is then highlighted.

The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

to change the LC display back to

the normal view. If the button

is not pressed, the

display will change back to the normal view after

about 5 seconds.

Mode

Set partial light output:
• Press the

button (Parameters ) until „P“ flashes

on the LC display for partial light output.

• Set the desired light output (1/1-1/256) with the

and

buttons. The setting takes effect imme-

diately.

• Press the button

to change the LC display back to

the normal view. If the button

is not pressed,

the display will change back to the normal view after about 5 seconds.

The mecablitz LC display will indicate the flash-to-subject distance required for a

correct flash exposure.

Some cameras only support the

manual flash mode when the

camera is set to the manual operating mode M.

5.7 Strobe flash mode

The strobe flash mode

is a manual flash mode. It allows several flash expo-

sures to be made on a single photo, which can be especially interesting for

movement studies or special effect images. In strobe flash mode, several flashes

at a certain flash frequency are emitted. For this reason, this function is only

possible with a partial light output of 1/4 or less.
The flash frequency (flashes per second) for a stroboscope image can be set bet-

ween 1 ... 50 Hz in 1 Hz intervals, and the number of flashes can be set bet-

ween 2 ... 50 in intervals of one.
