Maintenance And Care - Metz MECABLITZ 36 AF-3 C Mode D'emploi

cameras automatically activate SLOW synchronisation in
connection with certain programs (e.g. aperture priority
"Av" or "A", night shots program, etc.) or permit slow syn-
chronisation to be set (see camera's instruction manual).
Use a tripod to avoid camera shake with slow shutter
speeds!

8. Maintenance and care

Remove any grime and dust with a soft, dry or silicon-trea-
ted cloth. Never use detergents that could damage plastic
parts.
Forming the flash capacitor
The flash capacitor incorporated in the flash unit undergoes
a physical change when the flash unit is not switched on for
prolonged periods of time. For this reason it is necessary to
switch on the mecablitz for approx. 10 minutes every 3
months. The batteries must supply sufficient power for flash
readiness to be indicated within 1 minute after the meca-
blitz was switched on.
Metz does not accept any liability for faulty functions
or damage to the mecablitz caused by the use of
accessories from other manufacturers!
