Setting Remote Mode
The Sony Remote System supports the TTL and Manual M Modes. The "Mode"
button is used to select Remote Mode. Press the "Mode" button repeatedly until
the symbol for the required remote operating mode TTL or M is displayed. The
setting takes effect immediately and is automatically saved.
In Remote Mode "SLAVE", high-speed synchronisation (TTL HSS or M HSS)
cannot be set via the slave flash unit. High-speed synchronisation is auto-
matically activated via the slave flash unit for the duration of the shot if a
shutter time below the camera's high-speed sync time is set on the camera
(see camera operating instructions).
Shorter shutter times than the flash sync time can be set on the camera in remote
operation only if the slave flash unit is not mounted on the camera and the
camera is set to Remote Mode "WL" (wireless).
Setting the remote channel
To ensure that several remote systems used in the same room do not interfere
with one another, four independent remote channels (CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 or 4)
are available. Controller and slave flash units belonging to the same remote
system must all be set to the same remote channel.
Setting the slave flash unit (mecablitz)
• Press the "Para" key repeatedly in activated Remote Mode until only "CHAN-
NEL" (= Remote channel) and the Remote channel appear on the display. Use
the ( + ) and ( - ) buttons to make the required setting. Channel 1, 2, 3 or 4
can be set. The setting takes effect immediately.
• Press "Return" repeatedly until SLAVE appears on the display. If the
"Return" key is not pressed, the display will automatically switch back to
SLAVE after approx. 5 seconds.
Setting the controller flash unit (camera)
The remote channel is automatically set on the controller (camera's integrated
flash unit) when data is transferred if the slave flash unit is mounted on the
camera and the camera's shutter release is actuated.

The remote channel can only be selected and set on the slave flash unit,
not on the camera.
Manual flash exposure correction in TTL Remote Mode
In TTL Remote Mode, manual flash correction can be set to adjust light output:
• Press the "Para" key repeatedly until only "TTL" is displayed (if a correction
value has already been set it will also be displayed).
• Use the ( + ) and ( - ) buttons to make the required setting. Possible manual
correction values are from -3 EV to +3 EV in 1/3 step increments. The setting
takes effect immediately.
• After approx. 5 seconds the setting is automatically saved. Once the partial
light output has been set, "TTL" and the manually set flash correction value are
displayed.
In Remote Mode Manual M, a partial light output can be manually set to adjust
the light output:
• Press the "Para" key repeatedly until only "M" and the manually set partial
light output appear.
• Use the ( + ) and ( - ) buttons to make the required setting. The setting can
range from P 1/1 (full light output) to P 1/256.
The setting takes effect immediately. After approx. 5 seconds the setting is auto-
matically saved. Once partial light output has been set, "M" and the light output
set are displayed.
Checking remote flash operation
• Remove the slave flash unit from the camera and fold open the camera's inte-
grated flash unit.
• Place the slave flash unit in the position required for the subsequent shot. Use
the flash unit mounting foot W-F127 (special accessories; see 17) to support
the slave flash unit.
• Wait until the slave flash unit and the camera's integrated flash unit are ready
