Flash adapter
The Leaf AFi camera system uses optional SCA flash adapters for portable flash units. These SCA adapters
enable you to use through the lens (TTL) mode.
The Metz SCA 300 flash adapter was made for conventional film photography; the SCA 3562 flash adapter
is for digital photography. To shoot with a portable flash through the lens (TTL), you must have a Rollei
3562 adapter (Leaf part number 604-00212) and compatible SCA 3002 flash. An SCA 356 adapter (Leaf part
number 604-00211) is also available for shooting with the SCA 300 flash system for film.
Flash sync
The Leaf AFi camera system has two flash synchronization modes.
Normal sync flash mode is the mode ordinarily used with an electronic flash. The flash is triggered
immediately as the shutter opens.
In rear sync flash mode, the shutter opens, and the sensor is exposed to ambient light. The flash is triggered
approximately 3 ms before the shutter closes. This mode is often used to show a streak of motion behind
the photographed object; the object itself is well illuminated and clearly defined by the flash.
Note: You can use a TTL flash using a Rollei SCA 3562 adapter connected to the flash shoe on the side of
the camera. You can also use an electronic flash by connecting a PC cord to the flash sync socket on the
camera, or by using a wireless remote device connected to the flash shoe.
Note: When using a studio strobe with a long flash duration, set the shutter speed to less than 1/250
second to allow enough time for adequate light.
Flash sync
If you are using a
strobe with a high
trigger voltage, use a
wireless remote device
to trigger the flash.
