Mecalux Slave Mode; Adapter Setting; Flash Modes - Metz SCA 3083-M2 digital Manual

5. mecalux slave mode

This slave mode is suitable for all cameras that do
not feature a measuring preflash function. Any
flash unit (including the camera-integrated flash)
can be used as a controller. The slave mecablitz is
triggered at the same time as the controller. The
light is controlled on the slave mecablitz in accord-
ance with the flash mode set by the selector on the
slave. Both the automatic flash mode A and the
manual flash mode M of the mecablitz can be
used.
Flashes fired by other photographers within
the working area of the mecablitz may cause
the mecablitz to be triggered inadvertently!
When in slave flash mode, any flash exposure cor-
rections or flash bracketing series set on the
camera will, for system inherent reasons, not be
effective on the slave flash unit.

5.2 Flash modes

For system induced reasons, TTL flash opera-
tion is not possible in this slave mode. If the
mecablitz is in the TTL or EM flash mode
(Easy-Mode TTL - only with 40 MZ-... and
50 MZ-5), then the pilot light
adapter will start to flash as a warning. Switch
the mecablitz to automatic flash mode A or
manual flash mode M. We recommend the use
of the automatic flash mode A.
