Manual flash mode

Flash mode with unregulated light output. The flash unit delivers the full light output, provided no partial light output is set.

Manual zoom

The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted manually to the focal length of the lens.

Metal stand

High-quality metal base for secure attachment on camera shoe.

Modelling light

The modelling light is a stroboscope light with a high flash frequency lasting a few seconds. This “quasi permanent light”, allows you to evaluate the light distribution and shadow formation on the subject before taking the photograph.

Motor zoom

The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit is automatically adjusted to the focal length of the lens.

Partial light mode

Manual flash mode with unregulated light output. By setting partial light mode on the flash unit, the light output or illumination duration of the flash unit can be specifically adapted to the photographic situation.

P-TTL

Innovative advancement of the TTL flash control with metering pre-flash technology for Pentax cameras.

REAR

Synchronisation to the 2nd shutter curtain for more natural blur effects for longer exposure times.

Remote mode

A remote system consists of a master or controller flash unit on the camera and one or more slave flash units. The slave flash unit is wirelessly remotely controlled by the master or controller flash unit. Unlike a controller flash unit, with a master flash unit, the flash contributes to the exposure.

SCA-3002 adapter system

For system cameras with digital or analog data transmission between the camera and flash unit. By using an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system, there are numerous additional system flash functions available with flash units from the SCA 3002 system, depending on the type of camera. The firmware of an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system can be updated via Metz Service for future cameras.

Secondary reflector

To brighten shadows cast at close range which appear when using an indirect flash.

Servo mode

The servo mode allows you to operate the Metz flash unit of the corresponding camera system wirelessly with the built-in flash unit on the digital camera. It allows light output to be manually calibrated as partial lighting.

Slave mode

An integrated sensor makes this wireless slave flash mode possible in combination with a master or controller flash unit. (>>> Remote mode)

Sony / ADI

Innovative further development of the TTL flash control for Sony Alpha cameras in which, for example, information regarding the distance to the subject is included in the flash exposure.

Spot zoom mode

While zooming the reflector increases by one illumination level on the object over the selected position. This centrally highlights the shot. Example: the zoom reflector adjusts to 70mm for a set focal length of 50mm. The information in the display of the flash unit remains however at 50mm, the original focal length of the lens.

Strobe mode

Manual flash mode for flash sequences with a selectable intensity, frequency, and flash number, e.g. for special effect photos and motion studies.

Swivel reflector

Can be tilted horizontally and vertically for bouncing flash. Can be tilted vertically for a bouncing flash.

Touch display

Illuminated graphic display that can be operated by touching the display panel.

TTL fill-in flash control

Reduces too high subject contrast (e.g. to brighten dark shadowy areas in bright sunshine).

TTL mode

While taking the photograph, the flash is measured through the lens (TTL = through the lens) by a sensor in the camera. The light output of the flash unit is terminated as soon as the subject is correctly exposed.

USB

Interface for firmware updates via the Internet.

Wake-up

The flash unit can be reactivated by lightly depressing the shutter if it has been in energysaving standby mode after an extended break from taking photographs. (>>> Automatic unit switch-off)

Wide-angle adapter

Increases the light angle of the flash unit. Depending on the type of flash unit, the wide-angle attachment is available either integrated or attachable as an accessory.
