Here, „remote operation“ means cordless firing of additional (slave) flash-
guns. The master flashgun (controller) mounted on the camera controls the additional flash units (slaves) in such a manner that automatic exposure control in TTL mode is extended to all slaves.
The Metz TTL remote operation permits joint cordless TTL flash control of several 40
3 Press the Remote button on the flashgun mounted on the camera. 4 Use the „+“ button to select the controller address Co 1 or Co 2.
• Fit each slave with an SCA 3080 Slave Adapter, switch on with the main switch , and set the operating mode selector to TTL: The slaves are now in slave mode.
5 Press the manual firing button | on the flashgun mounted on the camera and |
fire a test flash. |

•The slave unit responds with a delayed flash, thus confirming that it is ready for operation. If several slaves are used at the same time, all will react simul- taneously. The LC display indicates SL 1 or SL 2, depending on the controller
address selected (Fig. 17). If, after a test flash has been fired, proper function is not confirmed by one of the slave units in the form of a delayed flash, then
the sensor | in the SCA adapter has not received any light pulse. Should this | |
be the case, rotate the rotary base | of the flash unit so that the sensor | |
can receive a light pulse, and repeat step 5.
