3. Programmed Auto Flash Mode
(Full Auto Mode)
In Programmed Auto Flash Mode the camera con-
trols the aperture and shutter speed, as well as the
mecablitz, automatically so that optimal results
are always assured in most photographic situa-
tions, including fill-in flash.
Settings on the camera
Set your camera to Full Auto Mode, Program "P"
(or "HYP" or "green square") or a Subject Pro-
gram Mode (such as Landscape, Portrait, Sports,
etc.). Select the autofocus mode "Single-AF (S)"
on the camera. Please refer to the camera's oper-
ating instructions for the setting procedure. The
lens aperture ring should be set to"A".
Use a tripod for the „Night Shots Program"
to avoid the danger of camera shake in
connection with slow shutter speeds!
Settings on the flash unit
Set the „TTL" mode on the mecablitz (see 4.1).
When in Program "P" (or "HYP" or "green
square") or a Subject Program Mode, some
cameras automatically switch the mecablitz
to TTL flash mode, when the manual mode
M or MLo is selected on the mecablitz.
Having completed the above settings, problem-
free flash photography can commence as soon as
the mecablitz indicates flash readiness (see 7.1
and 7.3.1).
