ge back to the normal view after about 5 seconds.

If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-

tion ተ will flash „OK“ for about 3 seconds (see 14).

In order to be able to work with slower shutter
speeds than the flash sync speed it is possible to
activate the P–TTL–HSS high-speed flash mode in
the P–TTL flash mode depending on the type of
camera (see 16.4).

P

fill-in flash mode

With most camera models, the auto programme mode P and subject program-

mes activate the automatic fill-in flash mode in daylight (see the camera's ope-

rating instructions) when in TTL- or P-TTL mode.
With the fill-in flash you can remove annoying shadows and achieve a balan-

ced exposure between motive and background in shots with backlight. A com-

puter-controlled metering system takes care of the appropriate combination of

shutter speed, working aperture and flash output.
Ensure that the frontlighting source does not shine directly into the lens, as this

will interfere with the camera's TTL metering system.

Ensure that the contre-jour light source does not shine directly into the
lens, as this will interfere with the camera’s TTL metering system.

An adjustment or display for the automatic TTL fill-in flash mode on the flash

unit doesn't occur in this case.

5.5 Automatic flash mode

In the automatic flash mode A, the flash unit sensor ቫ measures the light that

reflects back from the subject. The sensor ቫ has a coverage of about 25°, and

only measures the light for the time a flash is fired by the mecablitz. The flash is

cut off as soon as sufficient light has been emitted for correct exposure. The sen-

sor ቫ of the mecablitz has to be directed at the subject.
The maximum range is shown on the LC display. The shortest shot distance is

approximately 10% of the maximum distance range. The subject should be loca-

ted within the middle third of the distance range shown on the LC display to

allow the electronic system sufficient leeway for compensation.
Setting procedure:
• Press the

button until „Mode“ flashes on the

LC display.

• Set the flash mode

using the

and

keys. The flash mode selected 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.

If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-

tion ተ will flash „OK“ for about 3 seconds (see 14).
