Manual Flash Exposure Correction In Ttl Flash Mode - Metz MECABLITZ 44 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones

The camera's computer-controlled mete-
ring system sets the most suitable combi-
nation of shutter speed, aperture and
flash output.
Ensure that the backlight source is not
shining directly into the lens. This will
interfere with the camera's TTL mete-
ring.
There is no adjustment or display for
automatic TTL fill-in flash on the flash
unit in this instance.

rection in TTL flash mode
This function must be configured on the
camera, see camera operating instruc-
tions.
The automatic flash in most cameras is
set to 25% reflectance (average reflec-
tance of flash subject).
A dark background which absorbs a lot
of light or a light background which is
heavily reflective (e.g. backlit shots) can
cause the subject to be over or underex-
posed.
To compensate for the above effect, the
flash output can be adjusted manually
with the correction value of the shot.
The correction value is based on the con-
trast between the subject and the back-
ground.
Hint:
A dark subject in front of a light background
= positive correction value.
A light subject in front of a dark background
= negative correction value.
