5.2 Manual TTL flash exposure correction
(Flash-Override)
There are certain photographic situations where
the camera's sensor can be deceived. This is parti-
cularly the case with a dark subject in front of a
bright background (the subject will be underexpo-
sed) or a bright subject in front of a dark backgro-
und (the subject will be overexposed). To overcome
this problem in such a photographic situation and
still achieve a correct exposure, some cameras
permit the flash intensity to be influenced in the
TTL mode (see operating instructions for the indivi-
dual camera). Depending on the camera type, the
given maximum flash range is adapted to the flash
exposure correction. Some cameras indicate the
+/- symbol in their viewfinder for manual flash
exposure correction.
For the mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital flash mode
the connecting cable SCA 3045 (optional
extras) is necessary! The mecablitz 45 CL-4
digital supports flash exposure corrections
and second curtain synchronisation (REAR)
only if these can be set on the camera!
Manual TTL flash exposure correction values
can be set either on the camera or the flash
unit or the adapter, depending on the type of
camera used. If Group A cameras are used,
the manual TTL flash exposure correction
must always be made on the camera.
