blitz.
• Second-curtain synchronisation (REAR) can only be set on the mecablitz if
the latter is fitted with a suitable SCA 3xx2 adapter (see SCA adapter ope-
rating onstructions) and is mounted on the switched-on camera. Data
exchange between camera and SCA adapter must have taken place at
least once (simply tap the camera release lightly without tripping the shut-
ter). The camera must be able to support second-curtain synchronisation
(see Camera and SCA adapter operating instructions)!
• (Ni) The Nikon 3D flash mode has been activated on the mecablitz and the
symbol is indicated on the display. The Nikon 3D flash mode cannot be

Data exchange between camera and SCA adapter must have taken place
at least once (simply tap the camera's release button lightly without trip-
ping the shutter). The camera must be able to support TTL (E-TTL) high-

secondary reflector of the mecablitz is not switched on!
• (Mi) TTL (E-TTL) high-speed synchronisation (HSS) is not possible when the
main reflector is swivelled or tilted. The shutter speed is limited to the ca-
mera's flash synch speed. The display (H) for TTL (E-TTL) high-speed syn-
