2. Preparing the flashgun for use
2.1 Attaching the flashgun to a camera
The flashgun can only be operated with synch cable a or the connecting
cables SCA 300 A
1)
or SCA 3000 C
1)
and an SCA-300/3002 adapter
1)
on
the camera.
1)
(Optional accessories)
Be sure to switch off the mecablitz by its main switch prior to mounting
or removing the standard foot or SCA adapter. Before mounting or
removing the flash unit, switch off both the camera and the flash unit!
Push adapter or 301 standard foot into the camera’s accessory shoe and
lock in place with the knurled nut.
An SCA-300 adapter and the 301 standard foot are connected to the flash-
gun with the SCA 300 A
1)
connecting cable.
An SCA-3002 adapter is connected to the flashgun with the SCA 3000 C
1)
connecting cable.
Mounting the flashgun:
• Fasten the camera bracket with the bracket screw to the camera’s tripod
bush. For medium- and large-format cameras we recommend the use of
the 70-35 bracket (optional accessory).
• Insert the camera bracket into the quick-release device ቧ of the holder
block until it is audibly engaged (fig. 1).
• Secure the camera bracket with the locking screw.
• Connect the synch or SCA cable to the flashgun and camera or adapter.
2.2 Power supply
The flash unit can only be operated with the 60-38 battery.
Spent batteries must not be thrown into the domestic waste! Help keep
the environment clean and discard spent batteries at corresponding
collecting points!
Before using the mecablitz for the first time, open the battery compartment
☞
☞
cover ¾ (fig. 6) and remove the inserted cardboard insulating strip between
the battery and contacts.
2.2.1 Charging the battery
The 60-38 rechargeable battery must only be charged with the battery char-
ger (Table 2, Page 83). The operating voltage must be set on the battery
charger prior to the charging operation.
2.3 Switching the flash unit ON and OFF
The flash unit is turned on with the main switch ¸ (fig. 6). The in-use
indicator µ (fig. 6) of the generator will then light up. Push the main
switch into position "0" to turn off the flash unit.
The mecablitz is ready for operation as soon as the flash-ready indi-
cator ቱ (fig. 3) lights up.
2.4 Flash ready indication (visual and acoustic)
The mecablitz is ready for operation as soon as the flash-ready indi-
cator ቱ (fig. 3) lights up. Only then can a flash be fired.
An acoustic flash-readiness signal can be turned on with switch
² (fig 5).
A continuous acoustic signal for approx. 1 second indicates flash
readiness, and the flash-ready indicator ቱ (fig. 3) will light up.
2.5 Correct exposure indication (visual and acoustic)
The exposure o.k. indicator
ቲ (fig. 3) only lights up if the shot will
be/has been correctly exposed in automatic or TTL flash mode.
This gives you the opportunity to manually fire a test flash in the auto
flash mode in order to determine the correct aperture for a given sub-
ject - a procedure that can be otherwise daunting with bounce flash
when the reflection conditions are difficult to judge in advance. A test
flash cannot be fired in TTL mode.
The test flash is triggered with the manual firing button.
