	not feature TTL flash control!

In other words: Without TTL flash control, the meca- blitz fires an unmeasured flash at maximum output.

If there is a flashgun integrated in the camera it must be switched off or completely folded down when the mecablitz is used.

Press the 0 switch to turn off the flashgun. The green and orange lights are instantly switched off. No flash will be fired for the next shot if the mecablitz remains in this state on the camera.

Setting the film speed on the mecablitz: Adjust the speed of the film loaded in the camera on the back of the flashgun by selecting the required value in the „ISO Window“ with the aperture slide.
