Metz MECABLITZ 64 AF-1 digital Nikon - Manual (Page 185)

Auto zoom
The zoom position of the reflector is automa-
tically adjusted to the lens focal length when
the flash unit is used with a camera that
transmits the data related to the lens focal
length. After the flash unit has been switched
on, „Zoom“ and the current zoom position of
the reflector are shown in the display.
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 trans-
mit 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 .
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display and select the desired zoom
value.
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display for the desired zoom value
The setting will take effect immediately.
The following zoom positions are possible for
the reflector: 24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105-
135-180-200 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.
