Point worth knowing The mecablitz 45 CL-4 is available in two versions: • mecablitz 45 CL-4-NC (with NiCad battery and battery charger) The NC version can be expanded to alkaline manganese battery operation by way of the battery holder 45-39 (available as an optional extra).
ķ system as soon as the ambient light level is no longer sufficient for automatic focusing. The autofocus ermitter emits a striped pattern. If an SCA 300 autofocus adapter is used, only the autofocus measuring beam built into the adapter is activated. • Program auto flash mode Some cameras merge in the „Program“ mode the ambient light with the light emitted by the flashgun. The camera automatically adjusts a shutter speed/aperture combination, and controls the flash in TTL mode.
1. Safety instructions 2. Preparing the flashgun for use • The flash unit is exclusively intended and approved for photographic use! • Never fire a flash in the vicinity of flammable gases or liquids (petrol, solvents, etc.) - DANGER OF EXPLOSION! • Never take flash shots of car, bus or train drivers, or of motorcycle and bicycle riders, whilst they are travelling.
included with the flashgun if NiCad is featured). • Power Pack P 50 (optional accessory) 2.3 Battery replacement Press the two locking keys of the battery housing, and pull out of the flashgun (fig. 4a). To return the battery housing press the two locking keys together and press into the handle-mount grip of the flashgun until it audibly engages. 2.3.
Adjusting procedure for TTL flash mode: • Adjust the camera according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions. • Turn the adjusting knob for film speed until the white marker is positioned opposite the ISO film speed so that the distance range can be read off. The film speed must also be set on the camera and, if necessary, on the SCA adapter. • Fit the flashgun with the appropriate SCA adapter and mount on the camera. • Switch on the flashgun with the main switch . • Turn the selector dial to TTL.
ķ 5. Manual Flash Mode 6. Bounced Flash In this mode the flashgun will emit its full power, provided that partial light output (M1/2 - M1/4) has not been adjusted. The flashgun can be adapted to the actual picture shooting situation by setting the corresponding aperture on the camera. If the displayed value does not coincide with the actual distance, then the aperture and/or partial light output level (M1/2 and M 1/4) have to be changed accordingly.
use of the secondary reflector is only expedient with bounced ☞ The flash. Switch turns the secondary reflector on and off. When the secondary reflector is activated, 85% of the light will be emitted by the main reflector, and approx. 15% by the secondary reflector. The quoted percentages may vary somewhat when flash with partial light output is adjusted, and the secondary reflector switched on. Light output can be reduced with a light reducing filter by approx. 40%.
the given camera). The two established values for aperture and shutter speed can be set on the camera because the camera’s shutter speed is slower than the camera’s flash synch speed. To maintain a balanced range of highlights, for instance in order to retain the character of the shadows, it is advisable to select the automatic aperture on the flashgun one setting lower than the aperture adjusted on the camera. In the above example the camera was adjusted to f/8.
. Exposure Corrections 12. Care and Maintenance The automatic exposure systems are based on a subject reflection factor of 25%, this being the average reflection factor for subjects shot with flash. Dark backgrounds absorb a lot of light, while bright backgrounds reflect a great deal of light (e.g. backlit scenes), thereby resulting in subject overexposure or underexposure, respectively. Remove dust and grime with a soft dry cloth, or a silicon-treated cloth.
