9.10 Contrast (CC)
To facilitate subject and pictorial composition, the camera flash can be combi-
ned with an external flash unit (mecablitz) to perform so-called contrast control
when in TTL- or P-TTL flash mode. Here the camera flash provides 1/3 of the
required flash power and the external flash unit provides the remaining 2/3.
Please observe the maximum possible flash range (guide number) of
both flash units to ensure the correct operation of the contrast control!
The benefits of contrast control can, however, only be optimally exploited if the
external flash unit is set up at a reasonable distance from the built-in camera
flash. To do so, the following original Pentax accessories are available:
The "sync cable F 5P", combined with the "adapter foot F" (to hold the external
flash unit) and "adapter foot FG" (for the connection to the camera). In this con-
text, please read the notes in the camera's operating instructions.
The auto-focus measuring beam in the mecablitz cannot be used in the contrast
control mode.
☞
Adjusting the setting
• Lightly touch the shutter release, so that the data transfer between flash unit
and camera occurs.
• Press key combination “Select” repeatedly until “CC” (=contrast control) starts
flashing.
• Set as desired, using the keys + and —.
– Contrast control is active
“CC On” is on the indicator.
– Contrast control is NOT active
“CC Off” is on the indicator.
The setting is immediately effective.
After approx. 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is automati-
cally saved. After activating contrast control “P TTL“ will appear in the
display.
Contrast control cannot be activated if the high-speed synchronisation FP
or HSS is set at the flash unit (see 7.3)!
The contrast function is not activated if the camera flash has not been
engaged or the TTL or P-TTL flash mode has not been selected on the
flash unit. Synchronisation is with the 1st shutter curtain. The contrast
function is automatically cancelled as soon as REAR mode (see 11.3) or
the High-Speed flash mode P-TTL-HSS (see 7.3) are activated.
Most integrated camera flash units only light focal lengths up to 35mm (see the
camera's operating instructions). If working with a focal length shorter than
35mm, a flash symbol appears in the LC display of the camera or in the camera
viewfinder to warn you that the marginal illumination of the subject may not be
sufficient! For more details see your camera's operating instructions.
