Slave Modes (Sl) - Metz MECABLITZ 28 CS-2 digital Mode D'emploi

Depress the "+" key on the flash unit for a positive
correction value when the flash shots are too dark,
and the "-" key for a negative correction value
when the flash shots are too bright. The correction
value can be adjusted from +10 to -10. The setting
becomes immediately effective and is automatical-

the new zero value ("0") for the next flash shot.
Maximum flash range indication is adapted to the
given correction value.
If the slave unit is not triggered repeat the
flash unit adaptation procedure and take
another test shot.

6. Slave modes (SL)

Selection of the slave mode suitable for your ca-
mera depends on the properties and technology of
the camera-integrated flash. The important point is
to know whether the flash unit built into your came-
ra works with or without measuring preflashes.
Selection of the slave mode determines whether
the slave is triggered immediately after the first
flash pulse from the camera's flash unit, or whe-
ther one or more preflashes have to be suppressed
before the slave is triggered together with the ca-
mera's main flash.
Select one of the three different slave modes by
repeated combined depression of the "MODE"
and pre-select keys. The selected slave mode
flashes on the LC display of the flash unit.
