There is no maximum flash range indication nor correct exposure confirmation given in the Metz Remote Flash Mode.

Testing the cordless Metz-Remote Flash Mode prior to exposure:

Position the slave and controller (master flash unit) as required for the intended shot.

Wait for flash readiness of controller and slave (flash ready indicator lights up).

Depress the manual firing button on the control- ler and fire a test flash.

The slave responds with a briefly delayed flash to indicate that it is ready for operation. When several slave units are being used then all slaves will acknowledge flash readiness simultaneously.

If a slave does not respond with a time-delayed flash, then this means that the unit’s sensor did not receive the controller’s light pulse. Change the slave’s position in such a manner that its sen- sor can capture the light pulse from the control- ler and repeat the test.

The slave flash unit is ready for use after the test has been successfully completed.

Bright ambient light and/or a large aperture opening can result in the slave’s sensor re- ceiving only an incomplete light pulse be- cause the electronic circuit of the controller interrupts light emission prematurely. In this case stop down the lens aperture or mount a neutral density filter on the lens.

The slave will only react to a light pulse from the controller. Flash units from other photographers working within the same area will not trigger the slave unit.

The slave will not indicate flash readiness and ma- ￿ ximum flash range in the cordless Metz Remote

Flash Mode. Only the controller’s display is rele- vant for exposure indication.
