3.1 Preconditions

The mecablitz must only be used with TTL ﬂash controlled cameras!

The sensor of TTL ﬂash controlled cameras measures the light reaching the ﬁlm through the camera lens and instantly cuts out the ﬂash when the ﬁlm has been correctly expo- sed. Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions to ﬁnd out whether your camera

features this function.

Afull-power ﬂash is ﬁred if the camera does not feature TTL ﬂash control!

In other words: Without TTL ﬂash control, the mecablitz 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.
