Modelling Light („Ml"); Extended Zoom Mode („Ex") - Metz 50 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones

9.5 Modelling light („ML")
The modelling light is a high-frequency stroboscopic flash. It creates the impres-
sion of a semi-permanent light for a duration of about 3 seconds. The modelling
light enables the user to assess light distribution and the formation of shadows
before taking pictures. The modelling light is triggered with the manual firing
button .

9.6 Extended Zoom Mode („Ex")
In extended zoom mode the zoom position of the main reflector
one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting expanded and
broader light coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside
rooms so that a softer flash illumination is possible.
Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. The extended zoom mode sets a
35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be
shown on the display.
Setting procedure
• repeatedly press button combination
„Select" until „Zoom" appears in the
display and „Ex" flashes. The required set-
tings can be applied using the + and — buttons.
– When „Ex On" is displayed, the extended zoom
mode is activated.
– When „Ex OFF" is displayed, the extended
zoom mode is deactivated.
The setting takes effect immediately.
After about five seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
After activation of the extended zoom mode „Ex"
appears in the display.
Depending on the system, the extended zoom mode is supported for lens
focal lengths of 28 mm or more (35mm format). The camera must be
equipped with a CPU lens and be able to transfer data on the lens focal
length to the flash unit.
