Points worth knowing

The mecablitz 60 CT-4 is supplied complete with 60-38 battery and charger.

Outstanding features:

• Universal, swivelling quadrolight reflector for bounced flash without having

to forgo the benefits of automatic exposure control.

• Secondary reflector that can be activated for front fill-in light with bounced

flash exposures.

• Wide-angle diffuser with automatic data display changeover.

• Automatic exposure control with a selection of 8 working apertures to easi-

ly resolve the problems associated with depth-of-field and to offer greater

creative scope regarding camera settings.

• Power-saving thyristor light output control, particularly in the close-up ran-

ge, for shorter recycle times and a higher number of flashes from just one

battery charge

• Correct exposure confirmation (auto check) with a long display duration.

• Convenient calculator dial for all settings.

• Manual mode or operation with partial light ouput.

• Operation with winder cameras.

• Illuminated setting centre.

• SCA 300 dedicated system. Adapters (optional accessories) will match the

mecablitz with the special functions of different system cameras. Please

refer to the enclosed SCA 300/3002 table to establish which adapter is

required for the given camera. The table also lists the special flash func-

tions which the system can then perform.

Special flash functions

when using an SCA 300 adapter (if permitted by the camera):

• Flash-ready indication in the camera’s viewfinder

• Correct exposure indication (auto check) in the camera’s viewfinder

A signal in the viewfinder of many cameras indicates correct exposure or

under-exposure of the film when in automatic or TTL flash mode.

• Automatic flash synch speed control

With most system cameras flash readiness causes the shutter speed to be

automatically changed from the adjusted mode to flash synch speed. On

some cameras slower adjusted shutter speeds are retained. The original

shutter speed is automatically readjusted on the camera as soon as the

flash-ready display has extinguished, or when the flashgun is switched off.

• TTL flash control

• Triggering control

The flash is not fired if, as a result of the aperture set on the lens in keeping

with the prevailing ambient light level, a shutter speed is adjusted on the

camera that equals or is faster than the flash synch speed. The picture is

then shot with the ambient light, thereby avoiding overexposure.

• First- or second-blind synchronization option

This mode offers two possibilities of flash synchronization:

- Either when the first blind of the focal plane shutter opens, or

- just before closure of the second blind.

The required synchronization is selected on the SCA adapter.

Synchronization with the secon shutter blind is valuable when a slow shut-

ter speed has to be used to shoot a moving object that has its own source

of light.

• Program auto flash mode

Some cameras merge in the „Program“ mode the ambient light with the

light emitted by the flashgun. The camera automatically adjusts a shutter

speed/aperture combination, and controls the flash in TTL mode.

Operation of the flash/camera combination thus becomes very simple.

If an SCA 3002 adapter is used in combination with an SCA 3000C con-

necting cable all SCA 300 functions can be performed, plus:

• Autofocus measuring beam

The autofocus measuring beam is activated by the camera’s electronic

system as soon as the ambient light level is no longer sufficient for automa-
