Using a ﬂash is more fun than ever before. It’s no wonder, because

with Metz system ﬂash units, operation simplicity is assured. Clearly-

arranged displays, some of them even illuminated, give information,

for example, about what values the respective ﬂash program auto-

matically sets. Sophisticated ﬂash techniques are therefore child‘s

play. There is also the guaranteed future factor for units with an

integrated USB port. It’s not without good reason that the mecablitz

58 AF-1 digital was given the prize for the “Best Flash Unit in

Europe 2007/2008”*. Mecablitz 48 AF-1 can proudly display the

Tipa Award “Best Accessory 2008”. Both units have now gained

worthy successors in the mecablitz 58 AF-2 and 50 AF-1.

FLASH TIP

Spanning large distances:

The choice of ﬂash mode decisively affects the

mood in photography. The pictures compared

on this page show an effectively brightened

subject that was at a great distance. In this con-

nection, it was wise to use a powerful ﬂash unit

such as the Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital. It

can also brighten parts of pictures distant from

one another both effectively and extremely

accurately. There are special camera-speciﬁc

functions available for this purpose, depending

on the version.
