autofocus mode (see operating instructions for the
given camera).
Low-speed zoom lenses can significantly curtail
the range of the AF measuring beam!
The striped pattern of the AF measuring beam only
supports the central AF sensor of the camera. If
your camera has several AF metering areas, we
recommend to only activate the central one (please
refer to the camera's operating instructions).
If a decentral AF sensor is manually selected by the
photographer or autonomously by the camera, then
the AF measuring beam of the mecablitz will not be
activated. In this instance some cameras select the
AF illuminator integrated in the camera (please
refer to the operating instructions for the given
camera).
The following EOS camera models only activate the
camera-integrated AF illuminator: EOS 500, 5, 10,
10S, 5000, REBEL X, REBEL XS, A2, A2E, 888.
