5.5 Automatic fill-in flash mode
When shooting in automatic fill-in flash mode in daylight, the automatic flash
mode will automatically set a correction of between -1 and -2 f-stops to
compensate for flash exposures (see 6.4 and 10.5).
This has a graduated lightening effect on shadowy areas, which has a natural
appearance on the photograph.
5.6 Manual flash mode
In the manual flash mode , the flash unit emits the full uncontrolled amount
of light if no partial light output has been selected. The specific photographic
situation can be taken into account by making adjustments to the aperture set-
ting or by selecting a suitable partial light setting.
Setting procedure:
• Press the button until „Mode“ flashes on the
LC display.
• Choose the flash mode using the and
arrows. The flash mode M is then highlighted.
The setting takes effect immediately.
• Press the button to change the LC display back to
the normal view. If the button is not pressed, the
display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.

• Press the button (Parameters ) until „P“ flashes
on the LC display for partial light output.
• Set the desired light output (1/1-1/256) with the
and buttons. The setting takes effect imme-
diately.
• Press the button to change the LC display back to
the normal view. If the button is not pressed,
the display will change back to the normal view after about 5 seconds.
The mecablitz LC display will indicate the flash-to-subject distance required for a
correct flash exposure.
Some cameras only support the manual flash mode when the
camera is set to the manual operating mode M.
5.7 Strobe flash mode
The strobe flash mode is a manual flash mode. It allows several flash expo-
sures to be made on a single photo, which can be especially interesting for
movement studies or special effect images. In strobe flash mode, several flashes
at a certain flash frequency are emitted. For this reason, this function is only
possible with a partial light output of 1/4 or less.
The flash frequency (flashes per second) for a stroboscope image can be set bet-
ween 1 ... 50 Hz in 1 Hz intervals, and the number of flashes can be set bet-
ween 2 ... 50 in intervals of one.
