12.7 Flash bracketing (Fb) (Fig. 18)
A series of flash exposures known as flash bracketing/
flash exposure bracketing can be made with the meca-
blitz 54 MZ-3 in the TTL and A modes.
A flash bracketing series consists of three successive
flash shots with different flash exposure correction
values. The first shot in the series is taken without a cor-
rection value, the second one with a minus correction,
and the third one with a plus correction. The mode is
automatically cancelled after the third shot.
„Fb" flash bracketing in TTL mode:
Flash bracketing in TTL mode is only possible if the
mecablitz is fitted with a suitable SCA adapter (SCA
3xx2) and if the camera supports manual flash exposure
with the mecablitz.
If the camera does not support manual flash exposure, a
correction factor for flash bracketing can be set on the
mecablitz, but the camera will expose the pictures with-
out such correction. Please refer to the operating
instructions for the given camera and the SCA adapter!
„Fb" flash bracketing in A mode:
For flash bracketing in A mode, it is sufficient if the
mecablitz is equipped with an SCA 301 standard foot.
However, flash bracketing in A mode is also possible
with an SCA adapter!
With some cameras "Fb" flash bracketing in A
mode is not possible for technical reasons!
With some cameras flash bracketing in the automatic
mode is not possible if the mecablitz is not equipped
with an SCA 301 standard foot.
Please refer to the operating instructions for the given
camera and SCA adapter.
Activating Fb flash bracketing:
• Repeatedly depress the Select button until „Fb"
appears on the display. Turn the setting disk to select
the required correction factor for flash bracketing. „EV"
and the selected correction factor will then flash on the
display. Press the setting disk in the direction of the
arrow for storage. The setting will be automatically
stored after approx. 5 seconds if the setting disk is not
pressed.
„Fb 1" appears on the display of the mecablitz to indica-
te the first shot within the flash exposure series. This
picture is shot without any correction factor.
When the first shot has been taken, the display changes
to „Fb 2". In addition, „EV" and the minus correction fac-
