Operation Manual

If flash exposure was correct, the “o.k.” exposure confirma-
tion lights up.
The TTL flash mode is supported by all camera modes (e.g.
Full Auto Mode, Program P, Aperture Priority Mode “Av” or
“A”, Shutter Priority Mode “Tv” or “S”, Programmed Image
Control Modes, Manual Mode “M”, etc.).
To test the TTL function a film must be loaded in the
camera. When selecting the film please check whether
limits regarding maximum film speed are applicable to
the given camera when in TTL mode (refer to the
camera’s operating instructions).
5.6.1 Automatic TTL fill-in flash in daylight
Most camera models automatically activate the fill-in flash
mode when in Full Auto Mode, Program P, and the
Programmed Image Control Modes in daylight (see the
camera’s operating instructions).
Fill-in flash overcomes troublesome dense shadows and pro-
duces a more balanced exposure between subject and back-
ground with contre-jour shots. The camera’s computer-con-
trolled metering system sets the most suitable combination of
shutter speed, working aperture and flash output.
Ensure that the contre-jour light source does not shine
directly into the lens as this will mislead the camera’s
TTL metering system!
In this instance there is no setting or display on the mecablitz
for automatic TTL fill-in flash.
