Setting procedure for “matrix-controlled TTL fill-in flash” with Group A cameras

• Mount the mecablitz on the camera.

• Switch on both the mecablitz and the camera.

• Lightly touch the camera’s shutter release to induce a data exchange be-

tween flash unit and camera.

• Continue depressing the “Mode” key until “TTL ” flashes on the LC

display.

• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display returns to its nor-

mal state after approx. 5 sec.

Deactivating the matrix-controlled TTL fill-in flash mode

• Continue depressing the “Mode” key on the mecablitz until “TTL” (without

the symbol) flashes on the LC display.

• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display returns to its nor-

mal state after approx. 5 sec.

4.1.3 3D multi-sensor fill-in flash with mecablitz 44 AF-4N

This flash mode optimizes a balanced exposure between subject and back-

ground. Prior to exposure a series of almost invisible measuring preflashes

are fired by the mecablitz. These are evaluated by the TTL multi-sensor and

the camera’s micro-controller. The camera then adapts TTL flash exposure

optimally to the given photographic situation (“multi-sensor fill-in flash”).

When “D-AF-Nikkor” lenses are used, the camera-to-subject distance will be

additionally taken into account when determining the optimal flash output

(“3D multi-sensor fill-in flash mode”).

Different cameras from Group A in Table 1 (e.g. F5, F70, F80, F90, F90x and

F100) support the “3D multi-sensor fill-in flash”.

Some cameras (e.g. F5, F80 and F100) do not support the 3D multi-

sensor fill-in flash mode for SPOT exposure metering. This flash mode

will then either be automatically cancelled or it cannot be activated so

that the normal TTL flash mode will be performed.

Setting the “3D multi-sensor fill-in flash mode” on the mecablitz

• Mount the mecablitz on the camera.

• Switch on the mecablitz and the camera.

• Lightly touch the camera’s shutter release to induce a data exchange be-

tween the flash unit and the camera.

• Continue depressing the “Mode” key until “TTL ” flashes on the LC

display.

• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display returns to its nor-

mal state after approx. 5 sec.

When a lens without CPU is used, some cameras will only support the

matrix-controlled fill-in flash mode or the standard TTL flash mode. In

such cases the 3D multi-sensor fill-in flash cannot be activated. The LC

display of the mecablitz will then indicate the corresponding display

for the current flash mode.

Deactivating the “3D multi-sensor fill-in flash”

• Continue depressing the “Mode” key on the mecablitz until “TTL” without

symbol “ “ flashes on the LC display.

• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display returns to its nor-

mal state after approx. 5 sec.

4.2 D-TTL flash mode with the mecablitz 44 AF-4N

This flash mode is only possible in conjunction with digital Nikon SLR

cameras (e.g. D1X and D100). Digital SLR cameras do not support the

normal TTL flash mode of analog cameras.

This flash mode optimizes a balanced exposure between subject and back-

ground (including fill-in flash mode) in conjunction with digital SLR cameras.

Prior to exposure a series of almost invisible measuring preflashes are fired

by the mecablitz. These are evaluated by the TTL multi-sensor and the

camera’s micro-controller. The camera then adapts TTL flash exposure opti-

mally to the given photographic situation (D-TTL flash mode).
