20 Troubleshooting

Should the flash unit fail to function properly or meaningless content

appear on the flash unit display panel, switch the flash unit off with the

main switch

ቱ

for approximately 10 seconds. Check the camera settings

and make sure the foot of the flash unit is mounted correctly in the

camera’s accessory shoe.

Replace the batteries with new or freshly charged batteries.

The flash unit should function normally again once it is switched back on. If this

is not the case, contact your local dealer.

Below is a list of some of the problems that may occur when the flash unit is used.

For each item, possible causes and remedies for the problem are listed.

Only the flash operating mode TTL can be chosen and selected on the flash

unit.

• Depending on the system, some camera models (depending on the camera's

operating mode) only support the TTL flash mode. Other flash modes (automa-

tic A, manual M etc.) cannot be selected or activated! See chapter 5.

No maximum flash range indication appears on the display panel.

• The main reflector is not in normal position.

• The flash unit has been set to remote operation.

TILT" appears on the display

• The main reflector is tilted downwards for close-up or macro shots.

"POWERPACK" appears on the display

• An unauthorised power pack has been connected to the mecablitz. Use only a

Metz Power Pack P76.

• A Metz Power Pack P76 is connected and there are still batteries in the battery

compartment of the mecablitz. Remove the batteries from the mecablitz.

☞

A battery warning appears on the display

• When the battery warning appears on the display there is still enough power

left for a few more flashes. See also chapter 3.2 "Replacing batteries". There

are, however, battery batches with which the battery warning appears relative-

ly early, even though there may still be up to 50 % of the flashes still available.

In wireless remote mode it is not possible to provide a battery warning for

system-related reasons.

A battery symbol appears on the display

• There is a Metz Power Pack P76 connected to the mecablitz and there are bat-

teries in the battery compartment of the mecablitz. Remove batteries from the

mecablitz.

The AF measuring beam of the flash unit is not activated.

• The flash unit is not ready for firing.

• The camera is not in Single AF mode (S-AF).

• The camera supports only its own internal AF measuring beam.

• Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the

camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF

measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit. Activate the central AF

sensor.

The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom position

of the lens.

• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit.

• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Tap the

camera’s shutter release.

The sign for the zoom position of the reflector blinks in the display

• Warning advice of shading on the edge of the picture: The focus of the lens

(converted to 35 mm - small picture format 24x36) set on the camera is smal-

ler than the zoom position set on the reflector.
