Metz 28 CS-2 Settings for camera and flash unit, Briefly depress the Mode key to terminate

Page 12

Set the required flash mode on the flash unit (A, M or EASY).

Keep the “Mode” and pre-select keys of the

flash unit simultaneously depressed for approx.

5 s until the symbols start to flash in an ascending sequence on the LC display. All other data on the LC display, and the flash rea- diness indicator go out.

Briefly depress the “Mode” key to terminate.

Take a shot of an appropriate subject (e.g. wall or ceiling of a room) at a distance of 2 m to 3 m with the camera’s internal flash unit. On the basis of this shot the 28 CS-2 establishes the number of

￿preflashes fired by the camera’s internal flash unit and automatically stores the data.

The flash readiness indicator on the flash unit lights up again and “o.k.” is indicated to con- firm the completed adaptation.

The LC display indicates the symbol “SL ” for the adapted slave mode, together with the flash mode ( “A”, “M” or “EASY”) and the maxi- mum flash range (see Chapter 10.3).

The slave flash unit is now ready for operation.

Flash unit adaptation only has to be com- pleted once because the stored settings are retained, even when the mode is changed, the flash unit is switched off and the batteries are replaced. If necessary, adaptation can be renewed when the settings of the camera’s flash unit, the preflash technology (e.g. red- eye reducing preflash ON/OFF) or the ca- mera are changed.

The flash mode of cameras working with an automatically changing number of preflashes (e.g. Nikon 3D and D-TTL), as well as the Metz Remote Flash Mode, is not supported!

7. Settings for camera and flash unit

The slave unit can be operated together with your camera’s internal flash unit after the appropriate slave mode has been established or set.
