It features three different auto-working apertures (f/8, f/4 , f/2 at ISO 100/21°), and the
integrated zoom reflector can be manually adjusted to the given focal length (between 28
and 85mm). The reflector can be tilted in a vertical direction 90°.
◆ Guide Number 98 at 50mm, 118 at 85mm
◆ Cobra design reduces red eye effect
◆ Automatic and manual flash modes
◆ Flash ready and correct exposure indicator
◆ Battery tester indicates – at the touch of a button–
if battery capacity is sufficient
◆ 5-second recycle time, uses 4 AA batteries

About the Guide Number
The range of a flash unit is determined by the guide number. The higher the number, the wider the range. Pay close attention when making
comparisons however, that the indication is based on the same focal length. If you wish to increase the range of your flash unit, then you
may consider using a film with higher sensitivity, because they require less light! This effect is excellent for use in manual mode. The higher
sensitivity is adjusted on the flash unit.
44 MZ-2 Auto/Manual Shoe Mount Flash
The 44 MZ-2 is an SCA-capable auto/manual flash with a powerful auto-zoom flash head.
Logical menu control makes it easy to select TTL, automatic and manual flash modes. Used in
connection with the SCA-3002 adapter system, the 44MZ-2 will work with Nikon, Olympus
and Sony digital cameras. Eight partial light output levels can also be set at the touch of a
button. Activate TTL mode and the 44MZ-2 delivers perfect flash without any additional
settings. Daylight fill-in flash brightens up dense shadows and rear curtain sync delivers faithful
rendering of effects. Other functions include (in so far they are supported by the camera):
ADI flash control and multi-zone flash metering (Sony), matrix- controlled fill-in flash and
under-exposure indication by way of aperture (Nikon).
◆ Guide Number 111 at 50mm, 144 at 105mm
◆ Correct exposure indicator
◆ Pre-flash function to prevent red-eye effect
◆ Power Zoom automatically adjusts the flash
reflector to the corresponding lens focal
length (with the SCA-3002 adapter).
◆ Integrated zoom reflector guarantees optimal
light output within 28-105mm.
◆ Focal length can be further reduced down to
20mm with an optional wide-angle diffuser.
◆ The slim Cobra design minimizes the danger
of red-eye effect because the flash and
exposure axis are spaced more widely apart so
that reflections from the retina at the back of
the eyes are almost completely avoided.
◆ Rear curtain synchronization for natural blur
effects (with optional TTL module, where
supported by camera).
◆ TTL Fill-in flash control reduces subject
contrasts that are too high (for example by
lightening up areas with strong shadow
caused by bright sunshine).
◆ Flash ready indication, plus control display
in the camera viewfinder.
◆ Wake-up function switches the flash on after a
break just by tapping on the release button.
◆ Automatic cut-off saves energy if you’ve
forgotten to turn off the flash, or during
longer periods between usage.
◆ Tilt and
swivel reflector can be adjusted
within the given range both horizontally and
vertically (to provide indirect flash lighting).
Also downward tilt for macro illumination.
◆ A buzzer goes off if there is an incorrect ad-
justment or to signal flash readiness.
◆ Built-in exposure safeguards such as distance
failing to show when flash is pointed up
◆ Key Function locks the operating settings to
protect against unintended adjustments.
◆ Battery tester indicates — at the touch of a
button — shows battery capacity.
