beam projects a striped pattern on to the subject,
and the camera uses this pattern to focus automa-
tically. The AF beam has a range of approx. 9 m
(with a 50 mm f/1.7 standard lens).
When using a Dynax 9 camera, either the came-
ra-integrated AF illuminator will be activated or
the AF measuring beam of the mecablitz,
depending on the existing ambient light. The digi-
tal cameras Dimage ... do not support the AF
measuring beam of the mecablitz.
To enable activation of the AF measuring
beam, the camera lens must be set to AF. Low-
speed zoom lenses can significantly curtail the
range of the AF measuring beam. The striped
pattern of the AF measuring beam only sup-
ports the central AF sensor of the camera. In
specific situations, some cameras activate
their own AF illuminator.
For cameras with several AF metering zones, we
recommend to activate only the central zone (see
operating instructions for the given camera). If a
decentral AF sensor is manually selected by the
photographer or autonomously by the camera, then
the AF measuring beam of the mecablitz may not
be activated. In this instance some cameras use
the AF illuminator integrated in the camera for the
measuring function (see operating instructions for
the camera).
