Reflector position for remote

The flash unit's main reflector

ቫ is automatically moved into the 24 mm position

in slave mode, to illuminate as large an area as possible. The zoom position of
the main reflector can be changed manually as required.

Setting the slave flash unit (mecablitz)

• With the remote slave mode activated,

press the button combination “Select” until
“Zoom” (= reflector position) flashes and
the reflector position
(e.g 24 mm) is displayed.

• Use the + and — buttons to make the

required setting.
The setting takes effect immediately.

After approx. 5 seconds the indicator stops flashing and the setting is memorised
automatically.
After activation of the remote slave mode, “SL” appears in the display.
In addition, the slave group (GROUP) selected, the remote channel (CH) and the
reflector position (Zoom) are shown.

Checking remote flash operation

• Remove the slave flash unit from the camera and open up the camera’s inte-

grated flash unit.

• Place the slave flash unit in the position required for the subsequent shot.

Use flash unit stand S60 (optional extra) to set up the slave flash unit.

• Wait until the slave flash unit and the camera’s integrated flash unit are ready

for operation. When the slave flash unit is flash-ready, its AF meter flash

ቭ

starts flashing.

• Take a test picture and check whether the slave flash unit is triggered or, in the

case of several slave flash units, whether all the flash units are triggered.

• If the slave flash unit does not trigger a flash, correct the position of the slave

flash unit to enable it to receive the light sent by the controller flash unit or
reduce the distance between the controller and slave flash unit.

• Once successful test flash operation has been checked, you can start taking

photographs.
