Camera mode "M" (manual exposure setting):
(if available on the camera)
An aperture and a shutter speed can be preselect-
ed on the camera when in "M" mode. If the shutter
speed is faster than the camera's fastest synch
speed, then the camera will automatically change
over to the fastest possible synch speed when the
shutter release is touched. When selecting the
aperture ensure that the subject lies within the
indicated maximum range of the flash unit. (see
aperture calculator or LC display of the mecablitz).
4.7 TTL fill-in flash
When using TTL fill-in flash, the camera electronics
chooses the amount of flash light required for a
balanced exposure of the subject and its back-
ground. This permits shadow regions to be brighte-
ned up when taking portraits in daylight, for exam-
ple. The dosage of flash light for fill-in flash control
is automatically performed by the camera.
This operating mode is not indicated by an
extra symbol.
Very bright ambient light may cause the
camera to activate the triggering control.
The camera's triggering control must then
be deactivated to enable the firing of a fill-
in flash. Please refer to the section "Trig-
gering control" of this manual or to the
camera's operating instructions.
