mum flash range indicated on the LC display (see

Please refer to Chapter 5 for the setting of the
EASY MODE.

8. Flash modes

Depress the "MODE" key repeatedly to select be-
tween the different flash modes: Automatic "A",
Manual "M", Metz Remote Flash Mode "SL"
(SLave) and "EASY". The selected flash mode will
flash on the LC display of the flash unit.

8.1 Auto flash mode A

In automatic flash mode the photo cell sensor of the
flash unit measures the light reflected by the sub-
ject. The flash unit interrupts light emission as soon
as the necessary amount of light for a correct ex-
posure has been reached. This means that a new
aperture does not have to be calculated and set
when the distance is changed, provided that the
subject remains within the automatic flash range.
The sensor has a measuring angle of 25° and only
measures while the flash unit is emitting light. The
measurement takes into account the light of the
camera's internal flash emitted at the same time as
the light from the slave flash.
If the duration of the flash from the camera's
internal flash unit exceeds that of the slave
(e.g. with close-ups), then this can result in
system-induced overexposure. For flash pho-
tography with digital cameras in slave mode it
has proved to be useful to set a flash exposure
correction value of approx -1 f-stop (-1 EV) for
the camera-integrated flash unit.
The correct exposure indicator will display "o.k."
for approx. 3 seconds when the shot was correctly
exposed (see Chapter 10.2).
Setting procedure
Continue depressing the "MODE" key on the slave
until "A" flashes on the display. The setting instant-
ly becomes effective and is automatically stored
after 5 s. Then set auto aperture, ISO and reflector
status as flash parameters (see Chapter 9).
Avoid exposing the sensor to direct sunlight!
