Triggering control
On some cameras the flash will not be fired when the
prevailing light is sufficient for an exposure in normal
mode. The exposure is then completed with the
settings indicated in the display field. Please refer to
the camera’s operating instructions for further
details.
Activating the flash manually
(manual fill-in flash)
Although the camera automatically activates the
flash whenever the prevailing light conditions make
this necessary, it is still possible to trigger the meca-
blitz manually.* Please refer to the camera’s opera-
ting instructions for the description of this function.
Flash in the A, S and M modes
With aperture priority (A), shutter priority (S) and
manual mode (M), a flash will be fired with each shot
if the mecablitz has been switched on. Camera ope-
ration in these three modes is the same as without
flash - with one exception: A shutter speed faster
than the camera’s flash sync speed cannot be selec-
ted.
Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions
for further details.
