• The setting becomes immediately effective. The
LC display is returned to its normal state after
approx. 5 sec.
REAR mode is automatically cancelled when
contrast control is activated.
The „REAR" symbol for second curtain syn-
chronisation is no longer indicated by the meca-
blitz display. The mecablitz is then once again
synchronised with the first curtain (normal syn-
chronisation).
5.3 Slow synchronisation/SLOW
Various cameras feature slow flash synchronisa-
tion in certain modes. This setting will give added
prominence to the background at lower ambient
light levels. This is achieved by matching the shut-
ter speed to the ambient light. Accordingly, shutter
speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed
are automatically adjusted by the camera. Some
cameras automatically activate SLOW synchroni-
sation in connection with certain camera pro-
grams (e.g. night shots program, etc.). No settings
are made on the mecablitz nor is there any dis-
play for this mode.
Use a tripod to avoid camera shake with
slow shutter speeds!
