Metz MECABLITZ 64 AF-1 digital Pentax - Manual (Page 192)

10.5.4 Learn function
The “Learn function” enables individual auto-
matic adjustment of the slave flash unit to
the flash technology of the camera’s flash
unit.
In the process, one or more pre-flashes, e.g.
to reduce the “red-eye effect” of the camera
flash unit can be taken into account.
The slave flash unit is then fired to coincide
with the main flash that illuminates the actu-
al picture.
If the camera’s own flash device provides for
automatic focussing AF measuring flashes,
then due to the system characteristics no
learn operation is possible.
If possible, use another camera mode or
change to manual focussing.
Setting procedure for the learn function
The AF pre-flash function of the camera must
be switched off.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display as many times as it takes for
the selection to appear.
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display.
• "Learning Mode" is ready to learn.
• Press the release button on the camera so
that the camera’s own flash unit is
activated.
If the SERVO flash unit has received a light
pulse, then "LEARN OK" appears in the
display as confirmation.
The macablitz digital has learned the flash of
the camera flash unit.
