User Manual

Automatic flash units are connected to the camera via
a hot-shoe contact or a sync cord connection and have
their own automatic flash control. This means that it isn’t
the camera that controls the flash, rather the flash itself
responds intelligently and meters the light as precisely
as required by the subject. Automatic flash units are
available in manageable compact flash format in guide
number classes 36 and 20.
Automatic flash units are particularly suitable for digital
bridge cameras with simple hot shoe flash.
The range of slave/servo flash units is designed to achieve
extremely varied, interesting lighting effects. This is
because they can be used as so-called “off-camera” flashes,
because they can be positioned anywhere in the room.
Because they don‘t need a direct contact to the camera,
they are especially interesting for owners of compact digital
cameras that don‘t have a flash connection option.
The macro-flash mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is regarded as an
innovation. Its wireless TTL* control makes it unique in its
class. Even the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital, 50 AF-1 digital or
the 44 AF-1 digital can be used as a “slave”, even though
they are not directly assigned to this category. In this mode of
operation, they also support the flash modes of the respective
camera manufacturer.
