Re-Establishing The Basic Setting; Power-Zoom Reflector - Metz MECABLITZ 70 MZ-4 Manual De Instrucciones

After the second shot, the display changes to „Fb 3" and additionally indica-
tes "EV" and the plus correction factor for the third exposure.
„Fb", „EV" and the correction value are all cancelled after the third shot.
The activating procedure must be repeated for a new flash bracketing
sequence.
To abort flash bracketing simply switch off the mecablitz briefly with the main
switch.

12.7 Re-establishing the basic setting

Keep the Mode button depressed for at least 3 seconds to return the meca-
blitz to the basic setting. The adjusted operating mode is retained.
The following settings are cancelled:
• The TTL sub-modes „3D" and the Remote modes
• The manually entered partial light output levels
• Flash bracketing „Fb"
• Focal length adaptations „E", „APS", „F1" and „F2"
• Second-curtain synchronisation (REAR)
• Locking the controls
The following settings are retained:
• The „Bleep" function ON (not possible with 70 MZ-4).
• „Auto Zoom" ON

12.8 Power-zoom reflector

If the mecablitz is fitted with an SCA adapter 3xx2 and operated with a ca-
mera that automatically transmits the focal length of the lens to the flash unit,
then the zoom reflector position of the mecablitz is automatically adjusted to
the focal length of the lens. „Auto Zoom" is indicated on the display of the
mecablitz.
If the mecablitz is operated with an SCA 300 adapter or SCA 301 standard
foot, then the zoom position of the flash reflector must be manually set:
• Turn the setting disk until the arrow symbol is alongside „Zoom" on the
display.
• Press the setting disk in the direction of the arrow. The arrow symbol will
flash.
• Turn the setting disk and select the required reflector position.
• Press the setting disk in the direction of the arrow for storage. The setting
will be automatically stored after 5 seconds if the setting disk is not
pressed. The arrow symbol ceases to flash.
If you are using a zoom lens and do not constantly need the full power and
maximum flash range of the mecablitz, you can leave the zoom reflector at
the shortest focal length position of the zoom lens. In this manner the entire
subject will be uniformly illuminated, thereby also eliminating the need to
constantly adapt the zoom reflector position to the given focal length.
Example:
Let us assume that you are using a 28 mm – 80 mm zoom lens. In this case
set the zoom reflector to the 28 mm position!
Changing the zoom position when using an SCA 3xx2 adapter and a data-
transmitting camera:
The reflector's zoom position can also be changed if the mecablitz is oper-
ated with an SCA 3xx2 adapter and a data-transmitting camera:
Select the required zoom position as described above.
After storage the display will indicate „Zoom" instead of „AutoZoom". The
selected zoom position of the reflector flashes on the mecablitz display sig-
nalizing that this position has been manually changed.
