Using lenses not equipped with a CPU (i.e., lenses without auto focus mode), results in certain functional limitations.

3 Preparing the flash unit for use

3.1 Mounting the flash unit

Mounting the flash unit on the camera Turn off the camera and flash before mounting or removing.

• Turn the knurled nut towards the flash unit housing as far as it will go. The locking pin in the adapter shoe is now fully retracted into the case.
• Slide the flash unit foot completely into the camera accessory shoe.
• Turn the knurled nut towards the camera housing as far as it will go, clamping the flash unit in place. If the camera does not have a locking hole, the spring-loaded locking pin retracts

into the adapter case so as not to damage the surface. Removing the flash unit from the camera

Turn off the camera and flash before mounting or dismounting.

• Turn the knurled nut towards the flash unit housing as far as it will go.
• Remove the flash unit from the camera’s accessory shoe.

• 4 NiCad batteries 1.2V, type IEC KR6 (size AA). They permit very fast recycling times and are eco-nomical in use because they are rechargeable.

3.2 Power supply

Suitable batteries/rechargeable batteries The flash unit can be operated with any of the following batteries:

• 4 nickel-metal-hydride batteries 1.2V, type IEC HR6 (size AA). They have a significantly higher capacity than NiCad batteries and are less harmful to the environment, since they have no cadmium.
• 4 alkaline-manganese dry cell batteries 1.5V, type IEC LR6 (size AA). Maintenance-free power source for moderate power requirements.
• 4 lithium batteries 1.5V, type IEC FR6 (size AA). Maintenance-free highcapacity power source with a low selfdischarge rate.

If your flash unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Replacing the batteries The rechargeable batteries/batteries are empty or flat when the flash delay exceeds 60 seconds (interval between triggering a full output flash, e.g. in M, and when the flash readiness indicator is relit).

• Switch off the flash unit by pressing the button until all LED displays are off.
• Remove the flash device from the camera and slide the battery cover downwards.
• Insert the batteries and slide the battery cover back into place. Please ensure the batteries/rechargeable batteries are inserted correctly by checking against the symbols in the battery compartment. Incorrect insertion can terminally damage the unit. Risk of

3.4 Automatic unit shut-off / Auto

OFF explosion in event of improper use of batteries. Always replace all batteries with the same high-quality brand batteries of the same capacity. Used batteries and rechargeable batteries should not be disposed of with domestic waste. Do your bit for the environment and dispose of used batteries/rechargeable batteries at designated collections points.

3.3 Switching the flash unit

• Switch on the flash unit by pressing the button The unit will revert to the last operating mode and the LED display will light up accordingly. The button flashes red in standby mode. Switch off the flash unit by pressing the button until all LED displays are off. In the event that the flash unit will not be required for a longer period of time, we recommend switching the unit off by pressing the button and removing the power supply (batteries, rechargeable batteries).

The flash unit is configured so that 3 minutes after • switching on,

• triggering the flash,
• lightly depressing the camera shutter release,
• switching off the camera flash metering system... ...it switches to standby mode (Auto OFF) in order to both save energy and avoid any unintentional draining of the power source. The button flashes in standby mode. The flash unit shuts off completely approx. 1 hour after last use. Automatic shut-off is not active in slave mode. The operational settings last used are retained following automatic shut-off and are immediately reinstated when the unit is switched back on. To use the wake up function, simply press any button for approx. 1 second or lightly depress the camera shutter.

The flash unit should always be turned off using the main switch if it is not going to be used for an extended period.

4.2 Correct exposure display

TTL The button is illuminated green when the flash capacitor is loaded to show the flash is ready. This means that the flash can be used for the next shot. Flash readiness is relayed to the camera where a corresponding message appears in the viewfinder. If the photo is taken before the flash readiness message appears in the camera viewfinder, the flash unit will not be triggered and your photo maybe be incorrectly lit in the event that the camera has already activated flash sync control (see 10).

When the shot is correctly lit in TTL operating modes, the correct exposure is displayed by means of the button lighting up red for 3 seconds. If there is no correct exposure message after the shot, it was underexposed and you must select the next smallest f-stop (e.g. f-stop 8 instead of 11) or decrease the distance to the subject or reflective surface (e.g. for bouncing flash) and take the shot again.

4.3 Flash mode display

The configured operating mode will be shown by the appropriate illuminated LED e.g. TTL mode. 5 Flash modes Configuration procedure

• Switch on the flash unit by pressing the button

5.1 TTL- flash mode with measuring

The TTL flash mode with measuring preflash is a further development of the standard TTL flash mode of analogue cameras. During the shot and before the actual exposure, one or more almost indiscernible preflashes are executed by the flash. The light reflected by the preflash is evaluated by the camera. According to the evaluation, the subsequent flash exposure will be adjusted by the camera to suit the situation (see the camera's operating manual). Depending on the camera model, the preflashes precede the main flash by such a short interval that they practically cannot be distinguished from the main flash! The preflashes do not contribute to the lighting of the shot.

• Press the "TTL" button on the flash unit to configure the TTL mode.
• Set a corresponding operating mode on the camera e.g. P, A, S.
• Lightly depress the camera shutter to allow the data transfer between camera and flash unit. If the camera supports TTL flash mode with measuring preflash this will also be carried out by the flash unit. There is no special display for these flash mode.

5.1.1 Automatic TTL– Fill-in flash mode

The automatic TTL flash mode is activated by most cameras when the automatic programme P is selected and by Vari or subject programmes during daylight (see camera operating manual). Fill-in flash mode overcomes troublesome shadows and produces a more balanced exposure between subject and background with contre-jour shots.

The camera’s computer-controlled metering system sets the most suitable combination of shutter speed, aperture and flash output.

Ensure that the backlight source is not shining directly into the lens. This will interfere with the camera’s TTL metering. There is no adjustment or display for automatic TTL fill-in flash on the flash unit in this instance. Configuration procedure

• Switch on the flash unit by pressing the button

• Press the "TTL" button on the flash unit to configure the TTL mode.
• Set a corresponding operating mode on the camera e.g. P, A, S.
• Lightly depress the camera shutter to allow the data transfer between camera and flash unit.

5.1.2 Manual flash exposure correction in TTL flash mode

This function must be configured on the camera, see camera operating instructions. The automatic flash in most cameras is set to 25% reflectance (average reflectance of flash subject). A dark background which absorbs a lot of light or a light background which is heavily reflective (e.g. backlit shots) can cause the subject to be over or underexposed. To compensate for the above effect, the flash output can be adjusted manually with the correction value of the shot. The correction value is based on the contrast between the subject and the background. Hint: A dark subject in front of a light background = positive correction value. A light subject in front of a dark background = negative correction value.

Exposure correction through alteration of the lens aperture is not possible, as the camera’s automatic exposure views the altered aperture as the normal working one.

Manual flash exposure correction in TTL flash modes can only take place if the camera supports this feature (see camera operating instructions). Don’t forget to delete the TTL exposure correction on the camera after the shot.

Highly reflective objects in the intended shot can disturb the camera’s automatic exposure. This results in underexposure. Remove reflective objects or set a positive correction value.

5.2 Manual flash mode

In manual flash mode M, full flash output is deployed if no partial lighting is set. By selecting a suitable partial light output or adjusting the camera’s aperture, it is possible to adapt to the ambient situation. The adjustable range stretches from P 1/1 — P1/64. Configuration procedure

• Switch on the flash unit by pressing the button

• Press "M" to set the manual operating mode M . Manual partial light output Partial light output can be configured in manual operating mode M. Configuration procedure
• Press the "M" button on the flash unit until the LED illuminates the desired partial light output 1/1, 1/2, 1/8 or 1/64. The setting is effective immediately and saved automatically. Various camera types only support manual flash adjustment in manual M camera operating mode.

TTL 1/1 1/2 1/8 1/64

6.1 Wide-angle diffuser

With the integrated wide-angle diffuser , focal lengths from 12mm can be exposed (135 format). Flip the wide-angle diffuser out of the main reflector as far as it goes and let go. It will fold down automatically. The main reflector will be guided to the required position automatically. The flash unit motor zoom main reflector can illuminate lens focal lengths from 24mm (135 format). By using the integrated wide-angle diffuser this value is extended to 12mm. Auto zoom The zoom position of the main reflector is automatically adjusted to the lens focal length when the flash unit is used with a camera that transmits the data related to the lens focal length.

Automatic adjustment does not occur when the main reflector is pivoted, the wide-angle diffuser is extended or a Mecabounce (accessory) is attached. Adjustment is automatic for lens focal lengths from 24mm. If a focal length of under 24mm is employed, the LED button of the intended mode flashes to warn that the shot cannot be exposed completely. In such a scenario, use the wide-angle diffuser .

Automatic adjustment of the motor zoom main reflector cannot occur when the wide-angle diffuser is in use. To set the wide-angle diffuser to 90° flip it up and slide it in completely.

6.2 Mecabounce 52-90

When the Mecabounce (accessories, see

16) is mounted on the flash unit’s main

reflector, the main reflector is automatically set in the required position.

Automatic adjustment of the motor zoom main reflector is not possible when the Mecabounce is in use. The wide-angle diffuser and Mecabounce cannot be used at the same time. 7 Remote slave flash mode Configuration procedure for remote slave flash mode

• Switch on the flash unit by pressing the button

• Press the “SL” button on the flash unit to configure the remote slave SL flash mode. The setting is effective immediately and saved automatically. The flash unit is compatible as a slave flash unit with the wireless Olympus RC flash system (RC = remote control or remote mode). This means that one or more slave flash units can be controlled remotely from a master or controller flash unit on the camera (e.g. mecablitz 58 AF-1O digital) or from the camera master. Slave flash unit 44AF-1 is always set to slave Group A and all remote channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. The slave flash units must be able to receive light from the master or controller flash unit via the integrated sensor for remote use. The flash unit in the camera can function as a master or controller flash unit depending on camera type. Further information regarding settings on the master or controller flash unit can be found in the respective operating instructions.

TTL Checking the remote flash mode

• Position the slave flash unit according to subsequent shooting requirements. A flash unit stand S60 (accessories) should be used when setting up the slave flash unit.
• Wait until all involved flash units are ready. When flash readiness is achieved for the slave units, the AF measuring beam will start flashing.
• To release a test flash, press the manual firing button on the master or controller flash unit. The slave flash units will respond with a test flash. Should a slave not respond, adjust the position of the slave so that the slave sensor can receive light from the master or controller flash unit.

8 Modelling light (ML) 9 Flash techniques Modelling light is only possible if the function is integrated into the camera. Modelling light (ML) uses a high frequency strobe light. It gives the impression of quasi continuous light for 3 seconds. Modelling light allows you to evaluate light distribution and shadow prior to the shot. Modelling light is activated via the camera.

9.1 Bounce flash

Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly and reduces dense shadows. It also reduces the drop in light from foreground to background that occurs for physical reasons. The main reflector of the flash unit can be swivelled horizontally and tilted vertically for bounce flash. To do this, depress the reflector unlocking button and tilt the reflector. To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective surface should be colour-neutral or white.

When tilting the main reflector vertically, make sure that it is turned through an angle that is wide enough to prevent direct light from falling on the subject. For this reason the reflector should be tilted at least as far as the 60° lock-in position. Flash ranges do not appear on the display when the main reflector is turned! When the reflector head is tilted, the main reflector is moved to a position of greater/equal 70 mm in order to prevent the subject from being additionally illuminated by dispersed light.

9.2 Bounce flash with a reflector

card The use of bounce flash with the integrated reflector card can bring out highlights in the eyes of human subjects:

• Tilt the reflector head upwards by 90°.
• Pull the reflector card together with the wide-angle diffuser from above out of the reflector head and forwards.
• Hold the reflector card and push the wide-angle diffuser back into the reflector head. 10 Flash synchronisation

10.1 Automatic flash sync speed

control Depending on the camera model and camera mode, the shutter speed is switched to flash sync speed when flash readiness is reached (see the camera’s operating instructions). Shutter speeds cannot be set faster than the flash sync speed, or they are switched automatically to the flash sync speed. Various cameras have a sync speed range, for example from 1/60 sec to 1/250 sec (see the camera’s operating instructions). The sync speed set by the camera depends on the camera mode, the ambient light, and the focal length of the lens used. Shutter speeds slower than the flash sync speed can be set according to the camera mode and the selected flash synchronisation (see 10.3 and 10.4). If a camera with a between-the-lens shutter is used, flash sync speed is not controlled automatically. As a result, the flash can be used at all shutter

speeds. If you need the full light output of the flash unit, you should not select a shutter speed that is any faster than 1/125 sec.

10.2 Normal synchronisation

In normal synchronisation the flash unit is triggered at the beginning of the shutter time (first curtain synchronisation). Normal synchronisation is the standard mode on all cameras. It is suitable for most flash shots. The camera, depending on the mode being used, is switched to the flash sync speed. Speeds between 1/30 sec. and 1/125 sec. are customary (see the camera’s operating instructions). No settings are necessary on the flash unit, nor is there any display for this mode.

10.3 Second curtain synchronisation (REAR)

Some cameras offer the option of second-curtain synchronisation (REAR), in which the flash unit is not triggered until the end of the exposure time. This is particularly advantageous when used with lower shutter speeds (slower than 1/30 sec.) and moving subjects that have their own source of light. With second-curtain synchronisation, a moving light source will trail a light streak instead of building one up ahead itself, as it does when the flash is synchronised with the first shutter curtain. In this way a „more natural“ image of the photographic situation is produced! Depending on its operating mode, the camera sets shutter speeds slower than its sync speed. On some cameras the REAR function is not possible in certain operating modes (e.g., certain vari- or subject programs, or with red eye reduction). In these cases, the REAR mode cannot be selected and/or is automatically cancelled or ignored (see camera’s operating instructions).

10.5 Preflash function for red-eye

reduction The REAR mode is set on the camera (see camera’s operating instructions). There is no display for REAR mode in the flash unit. The red-eye effect occurs when the person being photographed is looking for more or less straight into the camera, the ambient lighting is poor, and the flash unit is mounted close to the camera. The flash unit then illuminates the interior of the subject’s eyes through the pupils. Some camera models have a preflash function for reducing the red-eye effect. One or more preflashes induce the pupils to contract more, thereby reducing the red-eye effect.

10.4 Slow synchronisation (SLOW)

A slow exposure (SLOW) gives added prominence to the image background at lower ambient light levels. This is achieved by adjusting the shutter speed to the ambient light. Accordingly, shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed (e.g., shutter speeds up to 30 sec.) are automatically adjusted by the camera. Slow synchronisation is activated automatically on some camera models in connection with certain camera programs (e.g., a night shot program, etc.), or it can be set on the camera (see the camera’s operating instructions). No settings are necessary on the flash unit, nor is there any display for this mode. Slow synchronisation SLOW is set on the camera (see camera’s operating instructions)! Use a tripod when shooting with slow shutter speeds to avoid blurred images!

On some cameras, the preflash function supports only the camera’s internal flash unit or an illuminator incorporated in the camera body. The preflash function is set on the camera (see the camera’s operating instructions)! Second curtain synchronisation (REAR) is not possible when the preflash function is used. There is no setting or display for this mode on the flash unit.

11 Automatic AF measuring beam The automatic AF measuring beam activated in the flash unit by the camera when the ambient lighting conditions become inadequate for automatic focusing. A striped pattern is projected onto the subject which the camera can use to focus. Depending on the camera’s activated AF sensor, the AF beam has a range of approximately 6 m to 9 m (with a standard 1.7/50 mm lens). Parallax error between lens and AF measuring beam limits the close-up range with the AF measuring beam to approximately 0.7 m to 1 m.

To activate the automatic AF measuring the camera must be set to the beam „Single AF autofocus mode and the flash unit must indicate flash readiness. Some camera models support only the camera’s internal AF measuring beam. In this case, the automatic AF measuring beam of the flash unit is not activated (as in the case of compact cameras; see the camera’s operating instructions). Low-speed zoom lenses can significantly curtail the range of the AF measuring beam! Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit! 12 Triggering control (auto-flash) On some cameras the flash will not be fired when the prevailing light is sufficient for an exposure. When the camera shutter release is depressed, no flash exposure is triggered. In various cameras the triggering control only works in the full program mode or „P“ program or must be activated on the camera (see camera operating instructions). 13 Care and maintenance

13.2 Flash capacitor forming

The flash capacitor built into the flash unit undergoes physical change if the unit is not switched on for a prolonged period. For this reason it is necessary to switch the unit on for approximately 10 minutes at least once every three months. The power supplied by the power source must be sufficient to cause the flash readiness indicator to light up no more than one minute after the flash unit is switched on. Remove dust and grime with a soft dry cloth or silicon-treated cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as these may damage the plastic parts.

13.1 Firmware updates

Flash unit firmware can be updated via the USB port and, within the technical framework, adapted to the functionality of future cameras. Checking the software version

• Hold down the TTL button on the flash unit whilst pressing the button. On the flash unit, the M button and the LED for partial light output 1/1 and 1/64 will flash. The number of flashes shows the software version e.g. 1/1 LED flashes once and the 1/64 LED 3 times to install software version 1.3. Further information can be found on the Metz website: www.metz.de

If the flash unit does not function as it should, switch it off for approx. 10 seconds via the button. Check the camera settings and that the flash unit stand is fitted correctly in the accessory shoe. Replace the batteries with new or freshly charged batteries. The flash unit should function normally again once it is switched back on. If this is not the case, contact your local dealer. Below is a list of some of the problems that may occur when the flash unit is used. For each item, possible causes and remedies for the problem are listed. The AF measuring beam of the flash unit is not activated.

• The flash unit is not ready for firing.
• The camera is not in „Single AF“ mode.
• The camera supports only its own internal AF measuring beam.
• Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit. Activate the central AF sensor. The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom position of the lens.
• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit.
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Tap the camera’s shutter release.
• The camera is equipped with a lens without CPU. Tap the camera´s shutter release
• The main reflector is swivelled out of its locked normal position.
• The wide-angle diffuser folds out from the main reflector.
• A Mecabounce is mounted in front of the main reflector. Automatic switching to the flash sync speed fails to occur.
• The camera has a between-the-lens shutter (as do most compact cameras). Switching to sync speed is therefore unnecessary.
• The camera operates with shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed. Depending on the camera mode, there is no switch to flash sync speed (see the camera’s operating instructions). The shots have shadows in the bottom of the image.
• Because of parallax error between lens and flash unit, close-up shots may not, depending on the focal length at the bottom of the image, be fully illuminated. Turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of the reflector. The shots are too dark.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash unit. Note: Using bounce flash reduces the range of the flash unit.
• The subject contains very bright or highly reflective areas. The metering system of the camera or flash unit is deceived as a result. Set a positive manual flash exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV. The shots are too bright.
• When taking close-ups, make sure to preserve specific minimum illumination ranges to avoid overexposure. The minimum distance from the subject should represent at least 10% of the maximum range.
