Slave modes SL | Metz 28 CS-2 guide

Depress the “+” key on the flash unit for a positive correction value when the flash shots are too dark, and the “-” key for a negative correction value when the flash shots are too bright. The correction value can be adjusted from +10 to -10. The setting becomes immediately effective and is automatical- ly stored. The set correction value is taken over as the new zero value (“0”) for the next flash shot. Maximum flash range indication is adapted to the given correction value.

☞If the slave unit is not triggered repeat the flash unit adaptation procedure and take another test shot.

6. Slave modes (SL)

Selection of the slave mode suitable for your ca- mera depends on the properties and technology of

the camera-integrated flash. The important point is to know whether the flash unit built into your came- ra works with or without measuring preflashes.

Selection of the slave mode determines whether the slave is triggered immediately after the first flash pulse from the camera’s flash unit, or whe- ther one or more preflashes have to be suppressed before the slave is triggered together with the ca- mera’s main flash.

Select one of the three different slave modes by
repeated combined depression of the “MODE”
and	pre-select keys. The selected slave mode
flashes on the LC display of the flash unit.
