M
Manual flash mode
Flash mode with unregulated light output. The
flash unit delivers the full light output, provided
no partial light output is set.
Manual zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector and thus
the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted
manually to the focal length of the lens.
Metal stand
High-quality metal base for secure attachment
on camera shoe.
Modelling light
The modelling light is a stroboscope light with a
high flash frequency lasting a few seconds. This
“quasi permanent light”, allows you to evaluate
the light distribution and shadow formation on
the subject before taking the photograph.
Motor zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector and thus
the illumination of the flash unit is automatically
adjusted to the focal length of the lens.
P
Partial light mode
Manual flash mode with unregulated light out-
put. By setting partial light mode on the flash
unit, the light output or illumination duration of
the flash unit can be specically adapted to the
photographic situation.
P-TTL
Innovative advancement of the TTL flash control
with metering pre-flash technology for Pentax
cameras.
R
REAR
Synchronisation to the 2nd shutter curtain for
more natural blur eects for longer exposure
times.
Remote mode
A remote system consists of a master or cont-
roller flash unit on the camera and one or more
slave flash units. The slave flash unit is wireless-
ly remotely controlled by the master or controller
flash unit. Unlike a controller flash unit, with a
master flash unit, the flash contributes to the
exposure.
S
SCA-3002 adapter system
For system cameras with digital or analog data
transmission between the camera and flash unit.
By using an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 sys-
tem, there are numerous additional system flash
functions available with flash units from the SCA
3002 system, depending on the type of camera.
The rmware of an SCA adapter from the SCA
3002 system can be updated via Metz Service
for future cameras.
Secondary reflector
To brighten shadows cast at close range which
appear when using an indirect flash.
Servo mode
The servo mode allows you to operate the Metz
flash unit of the corresponding camera system
wirelessly with the built-in flash unit on the digi-
tal camera. It allows light output to be manually
calibrated as partial lighting.
Slave mode
An integrated sensor makes this wireless slave
flash mode possible in combination with a mas-
ter or controller flash unit. (>>> Remote mode)
Sony / ADI
Innovative further development of the TTL flash
control for Sony Alpha cameras in which, for ex-
ample, information regarding the distance to the
subject is included in the flash exposure.
Spot zoom mode
While zooming the reflector increases by one
illumination level on the object over the selec-
ted position. This centrally highlights the shot.
Example: the zoom reflector adjusts to 70mm
for a set focal length of 50mm. The information
in the display of the flash unit remains however
at 50mm, the original focal length of the lens.
Strobe mode
Manual flash mode for flash sequences with a
selectable intensity, frequency, and flash num-
ber, e.g. for special eect photos and motion
studies.
Swivel reflector
Can be tilted horizontally and vertically for boun-
cing flash. Can be tilted vertically for a bouncing
flash.
T
Touch display
Illuminated graphic display that can be operated
by touching the display panel.
TTL ll-in flash control
Reduces too high subject contrast (e.g. to brigh-
ten dark shadowy areas in bright sunshine).
TTL mode
While taking the photograph, the flash is measu-
red through the lens (TTL = through the lens) by
a sensor in the camera. The light output of the
flash unit is terminated as soon as the subject
is correctly exposed.
U
USB
Interface for rmware updates via the Internet.
W
Wake-up
The flash unit can be reactivated by lightly
depressing the shutter if it has been in energy-
saving standby mode aer an extended break
from taking photographs. (>>> Automatic unit
switch-o)
Wide-angle adapter
Increases the light angle of the flash unit. De-
pending on the type of flash unit, the wide-angle
attachment is available either integrated or at-
tachable as an accessory.
