7.5 Automatic high-speed synchronisation

(FP)

Various cameras support automatic high-speed syn-

chronisation (see the camera’s operating instructi-

ons). This flash mode makes it possible to use a

flash unit even with shutter speeds that are faster

than the flash sync speed.

Interesting results may by achieved in this mode

when, for example, a wide open aperture (e.g.,

f/2.0) is used to limit the depth of field in portrait

shots taken in very bright ambient light. The flash

unit supports high-speed synchronisation in

and flash modes.

For physical reasons, however, high-speed synchro-

nisation significantly reduces the number and the

maximum flash range.

Be sure to note, therefore, the flash range on the

display of the flash unit.

High-speed synchronisation is activated automati-

cally if a shutter speed faster than the flash sync

speed is set on the camera, whether manually or

automatically by the exposure program.

Note that in the case of high speed synchronisation

the guide number of the flash unit also depends on

the shutter speed.

The faster the shutter speed, the lower the guide

number!

The setting for automatic high-speed synchronisati-

on occurs on the camera (see camera operating

instructions)!

The display of the flash unit then in addition shows

"FP" ( ) .

7.6 Manual flash mode with distance

guideline (GN)

In this flash mode you enter the distance to the sub-

ject in the flash unit. The mecablitz coordinates the

flash output and the f-stops provided by the came-

ra.

If sufficient exposure is not achieved for the

distance set, the sign appears in front of the

distance information.
