6.2 Setting the mecablitz and the camera
With the exception of measuring preflash suppres-
sion, this slave mode with the necessary settings
does not differ from the normal mecalux slave
mode (Chapter 5).
Please refer to Chapter 5 for the camera and
mecablitz settings.
In flash photography with digital cameras it has
proved to be useful for various photographic situa-
tions in the close-up range to set a correction value
of approx. -1 f–stop for the camera-integrated
flash (see camera's operating instructions).
7. mecalux slave function with double-
preflash suppression
Various digital cameras fire two short measuring
preflashes fractions of a second prior to flash
exposure. To prevent the mecablitz from being trig-
gered by a measuring preflash, the operating mode
selector 1 must be set at position
that the mecablitz is triggered by the time the main
flash is fired for exposure.
Light output control of the slave flash unit is in
accordance with the operating mode (auto flash
mode A or manual flash mode M) selected on the
mecablitz.
Operating mode of the mecablitz:
The mecablitz must be set to auto mode A or
manual mode M (for setting instructions please
refer to the operating instructions for the given
mecablitz).
