Flash Synchronisation; Normal Synchronisation; Slow-Synchronisation - Metz MECABLITZ 28 AF-4 N Mode D'emploi

Different modes of flash synchronisation are possi-
ble, depending on the camera model. Please refer to
the camera's operating instructions to find out how
the individual modes of synchronisation are set on
the camera.

6.1 Normal synchronisation

This mode is available with all TTL cameras, and it
is suitable for most flash shots. With normal
synchronisation, switching to the camera's flash
sync shutter speed is automatic. The shutter speed
may vary from 1/30th and 1/250th seconds,
depending on the camera model. Please refer to the
camera's operating instructions for further details.

6. Flash synchronisation

6.2 Slow-synchronisation

Some cameras feature specific exposure programs
for slow-synchronisation.
Flash shots at low lighting levels and fast shutter
speeds (normal flash sync speed) can often result in
overexposed subjects in front of a very dark back-
ground. The slow-sync function allows the use of
slow shutter speeds right up to 30 seconds, to
significantly enhance the background as a result of
the extra ambient light. Such shots require a tripod to
prevent camera shake. Please refer to the camera's
operating instructions for further details.
