Slave Mode Without Preflash Suppression - Metz MECABLITZ 28 CS-2 digital Manual De Instrucciones

• Activate the camera's internal flash unit.
• Deactivate the red-eye reducing preflash func-
tion on the camera.
• Select on the slave unit the "M" flash mode with
P 1/1 full light output (see Chapter 8.2).
• Then select the slave mode without preflash sup-
pression on the slave unit (see Chapter 6.1).
• Take a test shot in which the reflector of the slave
unit can be seen, for example in a mirror.
NEVER look directly into the flash unit's reflector
from a short distance as this could blind or inju-
re your eyes!
• Assess the test shot, e.g. on the camera monitor.

• If the slave unit's reflector is brilliantly illuminated
in the test shot, then you have set the right slave
mode for your camera.
• If the slave unit's reflector is not bright or is dark
on the test shot, then select on the slave unit a
slave mode with preflash suppression (see Chap-
ter 6.2) and take another test shot.
• If this still proves to be unsuccessful, then select
the slave mode with learn function. This enables
94
you to adapt the slave automatically to your
camera's flash function (see Chapter 6.3).
6.1 Slave mode without preflash
suppression SL
This slave mode is suitable for all cameras working
without measuring preflash technology. The slave is
triggered at the same time as the flash unit incor-
porated in the camera. The light output of the slave
is controlled by the selected flash mode (EASY, auto
flash mode A or manual flash mode M).
If your camera has a red-eye reducing preflash
function, this function must be switched off!
Otherwise it may be accidentally activated by
flashes of other photographers working within
the same action radius as the slave flash unit .
