Stroboscopic mode 9. Stroboscopic mode
Modo flash stroboscopico (not possible with 70 MZ-4)
Funcionamiento Estroboscdpico Stroboscopic flash mode makes several images of a
moving object appear in the same picture. This is parti-
cularly interesting for motion studies and for special
effects (Fig. 15). In stroboscopic mode, a predetermined
number of flashes are fired at a certain flash frequency.
Consequently, only a paftial light output is available, with
a maximum of 1/4 power.
For stroboscopic exposures you can select a flash fre-
quency (flashes per second) of 1...50 Hz in 1 Hz incre-
ments, and a number of flashes between 2...50 in single
increments.
No lS0 film speed is displayed in stroboscopic mode.
When using the mecablitz with an SCA 3xx2 adapter and
a camera that automatically transmits the speed rating
to the flash unit, the mecablitz will automatically adjust
the film speed (see operating instructions for camera
and the SCA adapter).
When using the mecablitz with an SCA 300 adapter, the
SCA 301 standard foot or a camera that does not trans-
mit film speed data, the speed of the loaded film must
be set in TTL, A or M mode before selecting stroboscopic
mode. The mecablitz will then take over this setting for
the stroboscopic mode.
The maximum possible pafiial light output level in stro-
boscopic mode is automatically adjusted (see Technical
Data, Table 5). To achieve short flash durations, the parti-
al light output level can be adjusted manually to a mini-
mal value of 1/256. The LC display indicates the shooting
Fig. 15 / Fig. 15 / Grabado 15 distance for conect exposure at the set parameters, You
can adjust the displayed distance to the actual shooting
distance by varying the f-stop or the partial light output
level. The aperture selected on the flash unit must be set
on the camera lens, By using faster films (higher lS0
number)the shooting distance can be increased,
ng' Ife stroboscopic mode cannot be used when
the secondary reflector is switched on.

Stroboscopic mode when the mecablitz is fitted with
an SCA 3xx2 adapter:
lf the mecablitz is operated with an SCA 3xx2 adapter
and a camera that automatically transmits the lS0 film
speed, zoom reflector position and aperture parameters,
then no further settings will be necessary. The mecablitz
will automatically adjust itself according to the data
transmitted by the camera. The number of flashes and
the flash frequency must be set as explained in Sections
3 and 4 (see below).
the mecabliE is operated with a camera that 6' lf

data:
Fig. 16 / Fig. 16 / Grabado 16 In this case the conesponding values for lS0 film speed,
zoom position of the reflector and the aperture must be
manually adjusted on the mecablitz, This is indispensab-
le for conect flash exposure because the mecablitz uses
these data to calculate and display the flashto-subject
distance required for conect flash exposure.

10. Correct exposure indication
The correct exposure indicator "0.k." only lights up if the
picture was conectly exposed in automatic or TTL flash
mode.
This gives the user the opportunity to fire a test flash
while in automatic flash mode so that the correct apertu-
re can be established beforehand. This is particularly
valuable with bounce flash when reflection conditions
are difficult to judge. A test flash cannot be fired in TTL
mode.
The test flash can be triggered with the manual firing
button provided that this button has not been program-
med for ,,Modelling Light" (see Chapter '12).
lf the ok exposure indicator remains dark after the test
flash was fired, then adjust the next lower f-number, or
diminish the distance to the reflecting surface or subject,
and repeat the test flash.
The f-stop established in this manner must also be set
on the camera,
u9 Io trigger a testflash, hold the camera and flash
unit in the same manner as for the actual shot!
This facility can also be used with TTL mode without
having to produce test exposures. The flash unit is adju-
sted to automatic mode, and the correct aperture is then
determined with a test flash in the previously described
manner. The established aperture is transfened to the
camera and the flash unit is then readjusted to TTL
mode.
This procedure is relatively accurate with lenses of
medium focal length of between 28 mm and 85 mm.
However, in borderline cases, underexposure may result
in TTL mode. In such an event the ok exposure indicator
will remain dark after the shutter has been released. Sel-
ect the next larger aperture (e.9. f/B instead of f/1 1) and
have another try.
11. AF measuring beam
6'The AF measuring beam can only be activated
by autotocus cameras that support the AF mea-
suring beam of the flash unit! Some autofocus
cameras only support their own built-in AF illu-
minator (refer to the operating instructions for
. the given camera). The mecablitz must be fifted
with an SCA 3xx2 adapter!
Please note when selecting the camera's autofocus
mode that most cameras only support the AF measuring
beam in the ,,Single AF" 0r ,,0ne-Shot AF" mode (see

12.3 REAR - Second curtain synchronisation
Second curtain synchronization (REAR) is particularly
advantageous when using slow shutter speeds (slower
than 1/30 s) or when shooting moving objects that have
their own source of light. Second curtain synchronisation
gives a more realistic impression of movement because
the light streaks behind the light source instead of buil-
ding up in front of the source, as is the case when the
flash is synchronised with the 1st shutter curtain.
The BEAB function can only be used if the 6'
mecablitz is fitted with an appropriate SCA
First-curtain synchronisation adapter and is mounted on a camera that sup-
Sincronizzazione sulla prima tendina ports this function. The camera must be swit'
Sincronizacion a la 1'coftinilla ched on to select and set this function. The
camera's shutter release must be briefly tou-
ched at least once so that the conesponding
data can he exchanged between the camera and
the mecablitz and the attached SCA adapter.
Please refer to the respective operating instructions to
find out whether or not the camera and the SCA adapter
support the REAR function.
0n some cameras the REAR function is not possible in
certain operating modes so that it cannot be selected' lt
will then be automatically deleted. Please refer to the
respective operating instructions for the given camera
and the SCA adapter!

Special functions 12.5 Adapting the focal length to the camera
Funzioni speciali format
This function enables the user to adapt the indicatedFunciones especiales
zoom reflector oosition of the mecablitz to the camera
format. Consequently, the focal length of lenses of medi-
um-format cameras (4.5x6, 6x6, 6x7 and 6x9) or APS
cameras can be matched to the value displayed on the
mecablitz. For 35 mm (24x36) cameras, the Extended-
Zoom function is additionally available.
The Extended-Zoom mode reduces the focal length of
the mecablitz by one increment as compared to the focal
length of the camera lens. This results in a wider illumi-
nation and additional diffused light (reflections) in rooms,
which, in turn, produces a softer flash illumination.
Example of Extended-Zoom mode:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm.ln the
Extended-Zoom mode the mecablitz adjusts the reflector
position to 35 mm.
Setting procedure to adapt the focal length to the
camera format:
. Depress the Select button repeatedly until ,,200m"
appears on the display. Turn the setting disk to adapt
the focal length to the given camera format:

12.11 The ,,Rapid" function
(not possible with the 70l{lz-4)
The flash recycling time in A and TTL mode depends
upon the amount of light required for the exposure. At
full light output the recycling time is maximum 5
seconds. The "Rapid" function can be switched on if this
flash recycling time is too long. The "Rapid" function is
recommended for such instances where fast recycling
times are more important than maximum flash output,
e.g. when indoors. The "Rapid" function lowers the guide
number by 1 rating, e.g. from the guide number 50 (at
lS0 211100" - Zoom 50 mm)to guide number 35 (at lS0

Exposure corrections 14. Manual flash exposure correcction
Gompensazione dell'esposizione manuale The automatic exposure system of the mecablitz and
Gorrecciones de exposici6n most cameras is based on a subject reflection factor of
25% (average reflection of subjects shot with flash). A
dark background that absorbs a great deal of light, or a
highly reflective bright background (e.9. when shooting
against the light), can result in overexposure or underex-
p0sure.
To compensate for the aforementioned effect, the expo-
sure can be manually conected with a correction value
adapted to the given photographic situation. This correc-
tion value depends on the contrast between subject and
background! In the TTL and A mode of the mecablitz,
manual flash exposure conection factors of -3 EV to +3
EV (f-stops) can be set in one-third increments. Many
cameras have a setting element for exposure corrections
which can also be used in the TTL flash mode,
Please refer to the explanations in the operating instruc-
tions for the given camera and the SCA adapter.
Exposure conection by changing the apefture on the
lens is not possible in this instance because the came-
ra's automatic exposure system will regard the changed
aperture as the normal working apefture.
g' Dark subiect in front of a bright background:
Positive correction value (approx. I to 2 f-stops
Ev)
Bright subiect in front of a dark background:
Negative correction value (approx, -1 to -2
f-stops EV)
The entering of a conection value may result in a change
of the maximum flash range indicated on the LC display
of the mecablitz and its adaptation to the conection
value (depending upon the camera type and SCA adapter)!
Setting manual flash exposure correction:
o The mecablitz is operating in TTL flash mode or in A
flash mode.
. Turn the setting disk until the ,,EV" symbol appears 0n
the LC display. The anow symbol alongside ,,EV" indi-
cates that a position has been reached where you can
enter a conection value.
. Press the setting disk in the direction of the anow, The
anow symbol alongside ,,EV" starts to flash,
. Turn the setting disk to set a suitable correction value.

g' Manualtlash exposure correction is only possi-
ble if the camera supports this tunction! lf the
camera does not support this tunction, the cor-
rection value can be adjusted on the mecabliE,
but cannot become effective!
Transmission of the conection value from the mecablitz
to the camera is only possible when an SCA 3xx2 adap-
ter is used!
With some cameras, manual flash exposure corrections
must be adjusted on the camera (see the operating
instructions for the given camera). In this event the
mecablitz will not display a correction value.
Some cameras permit manual flash exposure corrections
to be completed on the camera or on the flash unit.
Please refer to the operating instructions for the given
camera or the SCA adapter to establish which setting
has priority.

Glossary o TTL fill-in flash
Terminologia Some system cameras offer the possibility of TTL fill-in
flash in addition to normalTTL flash control. This mode Terminologia
is used for daylight shots to brighten dense shadows
and when shooting against the light. Based on the sen-
sor measurement conducted inside the camera and
the subsequent evaluation by the camera electronics
the conect amount of flash light is used to produce a
balanced exposure. In TTL fill-in flash mode, the came-
ra automatically performs a flash exposure correction,
. TTL flash exposure correction
There are certain situations when the sensor inside the
camera can be confused. This is the case with very
dark subjects in front of a very bright background
(resulting in an underexposed subject) or a particularly
bright subject in front of a very dark background
(resulting in an overexposed subject). Normal exposure
conection can be completed by way of apedure and
shutter speed control, changing the film speed, or a
+/- correction on the camera. However, this changes
allelements involved in an exposure. Consequently, a
special flash exposure correction is possible 0n some
cameras. With such flash exposure conection the over-
all exposure is retained, while the dark parts are brigh-
tened with fill-in flash. For further details please refer
to the respective operating instructions for the given
camera and the adapter.
o Anti-red eye preflash
(only with Nikon 3402 SCA adapter)
Red eyes are a purely physical effect that always ari-
ses when people look directly at the camera, the
ambient light is relatively dark, and the flash unit is
mounted on or alongside the camera. The flash lights
up the blood-filled retina at the back of the eye which
passes through the pupil and is recorded by the came-
ra as a red spot.
The red-eye reducing preflash function results in a sig-
nificant improvement. In this function the mecablitz
fires three visible, weak preflashes, before the shutter
curtain opens and the measuring beam is emitted for
the multi-sensor (if permitted by the flash unit and
camera), and only then fires the main flash.
These three preflashes induce the pupils to close furt-
her, thereby diminishing the red-eye effect. This func-
tion is available in any exposure programme. For furt-
her details please refer to the operating instructions for
the given camera.
