Wireless P-Ttl - Remote System; Activating The Remote Flash Mode As Master - Metz MECABLITZ 58 AF-1 digital Manual De Instrucciones

Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the
camera's central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF
measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit.

19 Wireless P-TTL - remote system

The wireless P-TTL remote system consists of a Master or Controller flash unit on
the camera and/or the built-in camera flash (see the camera's operating
instructions) and one or more Slave flash units. The Slave flash unit(s) are con-
trolled via wireless technology by the secondary reflector of the Controller or
Master flash unit. The light of the secondary reflector does not contribute to the
exposure of the shot.
When the master function is activated, the built-in camera flash controls the
Slave unit(s) with its flash light and at the same time contributes to exposing the
shot.
When the controller function is activated, the built-in camera flash only controls
the Slave unit(s) with its light. The light of the Controller does not contribute to
the exposure of the shot.
The light of the Slave flash unit is controlled by wireless technology via flash pul-
ses from the Controller or Master flash unit on the camera (P-TTL remote).
To prevent multiple remote systems in the same room from interfering with one
another, there are four independent remote channels to choose from (Channels
1 to 4). Master and Slave flash units belonging to the same remote system must
be set to the same remote channel. The Slave flash units must be able to receive
the light from the Master or Controller flash unit using the integrated remote
mode sensor .
When the controller or Slave flash unit are set to remote flash mode, the
☞
flash range is not indicated on the flash unit's display.
