Operating instructions

5.3 Correct exposure indication
The “o.k.” correct exposure confirmation briefly lights up on
the mecablitz when the shot was correctly exposed in TTL
flash mode.
If “o.k.” is not indicated after an exposure, then this means
that the shot was underexposed. The shot will then have to be
repeated with the next smaller f-number (e.g. f/8 instead of
f/11) or the distance to the subject or the reflecting surface
(e.g. when bouncing the flash) must be shortened.
5.4 Displays in the camera viewfinder
The actual display in the camera viewfinder can deviate
from the subsequent description or some symbols are
only possible with certain camera models
(see operating instructions for the given camera).
5.4.1 mecablitz 24 AF-1 C
• Flash symbol flashes:
User is requested to use or switch on the flash unit.
• Flash symbol lights up: mecablitz is ready for operation.
Some cameras have a warning function in the viewfinder to
indicate incorrect exposure. For instance, if the f-number or
shutter speed or both of them flash in the viewfinder, then this
will indicate either under- or overexposure.
Basic infor
mation concerning incorrect exposure:
• In the event of overexposure: Do not use the flash!
• In the event of underexposure: Switch on the flash unit or
mount the camera on a tripod and set a slower shutter
speed.
The reasons for incorrect exposure can vary in the different
exposure and automatic programmes.
