5.8Establishing the maximum flash range with the aperture calculator

The maximum flash range of the mecablitz can be estab- lished by way of the aperture calculator in the control panel.

Set the “ISO” upper slide at the ISO speed of the film load- ed in the camera.

Set the lower slide at the selected zoom position of the reflector (28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm or 85 mm).

Select in the “F” line of the aperture calculator the f-stop set on the camera/lens.

The maximum flash range of the mecablitz in meters (m) and feet (ft) is indicated underneath the f-stop.

A minimum distance to the subject should be maintained to avoid overexposure. The minimum distance is approximately 10 per cent of the maximum flash range.

Ideally, the subject should be located in the middle third of the distance between minimum distance and maximum flash
