Operation Manual

5.2 Automatic flash sync speed control

Depending on the camera model and the selected mode, the

camera’s shutter speed automatically changes to flash sync

speed when flash readiness is reached (see operating instruc-

tions for the given camera).

Shutter speeds faster than the flash sync speed cannot be set

or will automatically be changed to flash sync speed. Various

cameras feature a sync speed range, e.g. 1/60th sec. to

1/250th sec. (see the camera’s operating instructions).

The actual sync speed used by the camera depends on the

camera mode, the prevailing ambient light and the focal

length of the lens.

Shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed can

be used, depending on the operating mode selected on the

camera.

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).
