Maximum Flash Range Indication - Metz SCA 3102 M5 Manual Del Usuario

If a decentral AF sensor is manually selected by the
photographer or autonomously by the camera, then

camera).
The following EOS camera models only activate the
camera-integrated AF illuminator: EOS 500, 5, 10,
10S, 5000, REBEL X, REBEL XS, A2, A2E, 888, G.. .

Only possible with the mecablitz 44 MZ-2, 50 MZ-

with LC-display).
The camera transmits to the flash unit the data
relating to the speed of the loaded film (ISO), the
aperture, the focal length of the lens and the
adjusted exposure correction. The flash unit
computes the corresponding maximum flash range
on the basis of the camera data and its own guide
number. The selected aperture and the
corresponding working range (minimum and
maximum flash-to-subject distance) are indicated
on the flash unit's LC-display.
Note:
The maximum flash range is not indicated on the
flash unit's LC-display when the reflector is
swivelled or tilted.
