On the Dynax 800si, triggering control is activated by the individual
function “5” (see camera manual). When a Dynax 7 camera is used,
triggering control is only possible in the camera’s Full Auto Mode
(green P symbol).
5.9 Modelling light
The modelling light is a sequence of stroboscopic flashes at high frequency
that creates the impression of quasi permanent light for the duration of ap-
prox. 2 seconds. This modelling light enables the user to assess light distribu-
tion and the formation of shadows before taking pictures.
Activating the modelling light function
• Continue depressing the “Select” key combination (= “Mode” key + “Zoom”
key) until the readiness indicator flashes rapidly on the flash unit (approx.
4 times per second).
• Press the “Mode” or “Zoom” key a number of times until “ON” flashes on
the LC display.
• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display is reset to its nor-
mal state after approx. 5 seconds.
• Thereafter, the flash unit’s readiness indicator will flash approx. once a se-
cond to confirm that the modelling light function has been activated.
The modelling light is triggered by pressing the manual firing button on the flash unit.
Triggering the modelling light of slave flash units in the cordless Metz
Remote System is not possible.
Deactivating the modelling light function
• Continue depressing the “Select” key combination (“Mode” key + “Zoom”
key) until the readiness indicator flashes rapidly on the flash unit (approx.
4 times per second).
• Press the “Mode” or “Zoom” key a number of times until “OFF” flashes on
the LC display.
• The setting becomes immediately effective. The LC display is reset to its nor-
mal state after approx. 5 seconds.

pressed for at least three seconds.

• The „TTL“ flash mode
• The „Auto-OFF“ (3m ON) function is activated
