It is quite sufficient to briefly switch the mecablitz off and on again with the main switch to leave the „SLAVE mode with the cordless Metz remote system“ for the „mecalux SLAVE mode with preflash suppression“ (SLAVE function selector in position 2). „ In position 1 of the SLAVE function selector , the mecablitz always operates with the „mecalux SLAVE mode.

☞The SLAVE only reacts to a light pulse from the controlling „master“-. Flash units of other pho- tographers within the same working radius will not trigger the SLAVE.

When in cordless Metz remote mode there is no exposure verification on the SLAVE. Only the indication on the controller (master) is relevant for correct exposure confirmation!

Cordless controller flash operation

In the cordless controller flash mode, the flashlight of the mecablitz telecontrols the triggering of one or more SLAVES. The controlling master flash is inserted in the camera’s accessory shoe, or mounted on a camera bracket, or is linked with the camera’s synch

￿contact (X contact) with a synchronising cable (see page 48: Synchronisation). When used as a „master“, the mecablitz 34 CS-2 digital only supports the mecalux SLAVE function: the SLAVE function selector of the mecablitz 34 CS-2 digital mounted on the camera must be set to position 0.

☞ Switch the SLAVE function selector of the

SLAVE unit to position 1!

The mecablitz is used either in the auto flash mode A or in the manual flash mode M. No additional settings are requi- red to use the mecablitz as a master flash unit (controller).
