Foreword

We congratulate you on purchasing this flash unit and thank you for your confidence in Metz products.

It is only natural that you should want to use your flash unit straight away. However, we recommend that you study these Operating Instructions before- hand to be able to fully exploit and utilize all the capabilities offered.

This flash unit is compatible with analog Minolta “Dynax” and “Maxxum” cameras and digital “Dimage” cameras (see Table 1). It cannot be used for cameras made by other manufacturers.

Please also open the back cover with the illustrations.

1.Safety instructions

The flash unit is exclusively intended and approved for photographic use!

Never fire a flash in the vicinity of flammable gases or liquids (petrol, solvents, etc.)! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Never take flash shots of car, bus or train drivers, or of motorcycle and bicycle riders, whilst they are travelling. They could be blinded by the light and cause an accident!

Never fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes! Flash fired direct- ly in front of the eyes of a person or animal can damage the retina and lead to severe visual disorders - even blindness!

Only use the approved power sources listed in the Operating Instruc- tions!

Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, sunshine, fire and the like!

Never throw exhausted batteries on to a fire!

Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from the flash unit! Lye leaking out of spent batteries will damage the unit.

Never recharge dry-cell batteries!

• Do not expose the flash unit or battery charger to dripping or splashing

water!

 

• Protect the flash unit from excessive heat and humidity! Do not store the

 

flash unit in the glove compartment of a car!

 

• Never place material that is impervious to light in front of, or directly on,

 

the reflector screen. The reflector screen must be perfectly clean when a

 

flash is fired. The high energy of the flash light will burn the material or

 

damage the reflector screen if this is not observed.

 

• Do not touch the reflector screen after a series of flash shots. Danger of

 

burns!

 

• Never disassemble the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! There are no

 

components inside the flashgun that can be repaired by a layman.

 

• When taking a series of flash shots at full light output and fast recycling

 

times as provided by NiCad battery operation, make sure to observe an

 

interval of at least 10 minutes after 15 flashes, otherwise the flash unit

 

will be overloaded.

 

• The mecablitz may only be used in combination with a camera’s flash

￿

unit if the latter can completely be folded out!

 

Quick changes in temperature may cause condensation. Therefore give the flashgun time to acclimatize!
