Automatic Flash Sync Speed Control - Metz MECABLITZ 44 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones

The camera uses the reflected light of the
test flash to determine the light output
required for the subsequent exposure.
The actual main subject can then be
brought into focus with the camera's
AF sensor/metering window. When the
shutter release is pressed, the picture will
be exposed with the previously defined
light output of the flash unit!

10 Automatic flash sync
speed control
Depending on the camera model and
camera mode, the shutter speed is swit-
ched to flash sync speed when flash
readiness is reached (see the camera's
operating instructions).
Shutter speeds cannot be set faster than
the flash sync speed, or they are switched
automatically to the flash sync speed.
Various cameras have a sync speed ran-
ge, for example from 1/60 sec to
+
1/250 sec (see the camera's operating
instructions). The sync speed set by the
camera depends on the camera mode, the
ambient light, and the focal length of the
lens used.
Shutter speeds slower than the flash sync
speed can be set according to the camera
mode and the selected flash synchronisati-
on.
+
If a camera with a between-the-lens
shutter is used, flash sync speed is not
controlled automatically. As a result,
the flash can be used at all shutter
speeds.
