tion of both the subject and the background. For this situa-

tion the reflector is turned in such a manner that the flash is

bounced off a suitable reflective surface (e.g. ceiling or wall

of the room).

The reflector can be turned vertically up to 90°.

When turning the reflector vertically, it is essential to ensure

that it is moved by a sufficiently wide angle so that direct

light can no longer fall on the subject.

Consequently, always turn the reflector at least to the 60°

lock-in position.

The light bounced off the reflecting surfaces produces a soft

and uniform illumination of the subject. The reflecting surfa-

ce must be white or have a neutral colour, and it must not

be structured, e.g. wooden beams in a ceiling as these

might cause shadows.

For colour effects just select the reflective surface in the des-

ired colour.

Take into account that the maximum flash range is

considerably diminished when bouncing the flash.

The following rule of thumb will help you determine

the maximum flash range for a room of normal

height:

Maximum flash range = –––––––––––––––––––––––––

7.2 Flash synchronisation

7.2.1 Normal synchronisation

In normal synchronisation the mecablitz is triggered at the

beginning of the exposure time (1st curtain synchronisa-

tion). Normal synchronisation is the standard mode on all

cameras, and is suitable for most flash shots. Depending

upon the given mode, the camera is changed over to flash

sync speed, the customary one being between 1/30th sec.

and 1/125th sec. (see the camera’s operating instructions).

No settings have to be made on the mecablitz, nor is there

any display for this mode.
