Metz MECABLITZ 64 AF-1 digital Canon - Manual (Page 182)

10 Cordless flash mode
Wireless remote operation is compatible with
the Canon E-TTL remote system.
The remote system consists of a master flash
unit on the camera and one or more slave
flash units. The slave flash unit(s) are con-
trolled via wireless technology by the reflec-
tor of the master flash unit.
The slave flash unit is assigned to one of
three possible groups (A, B or C). Each group
can in turn consists of one or more slave
flash units.
The master flash unit can control all of these
slave groups simultaneously and at the same
time take the settings for each slave group
into account.
The entire remote system can be operated
either with
--or mode.
A change to the type of flash mode must be
made on the master.
There are four independent remote channels
to use so that multiple remote systems in the
same room do not interfere with one another.
Master and Slave flash units belonging to the
same remote system must be set to the same
remote channel.
The slave flash units must be able to receive
the light from the master flash unit with the
integrated Sensor for cordless remote control
ብ.
Remote flash mode also supports second
curtain synchronisation. In remote flash
mode, the maximum flash range is not indi-
cated on the flash unit's display panel.
