2.mecalux-SLAVE function with preflash sup- pression:

	This SLAVE mode is especially suitable for digital
	cameras with a measuring preflash function: Various
	digital camera models fire a measuring preflash frac-
	tions of a second before the actual shot. To ensure
￿	that the mecablitz is not triggered as a result of this
	preflash, the SLAVE function selector		must be set
	to position 2 so that the mecablitz will only be trigge-
	red by the main flash. Light control is performed on
	the SLAVE flash unit depending on the setting of the
	operating mode selector	(auto mode A or manual
	mode M; for details see „mecalux-SLAVE function“).

Activating the mecalux-SLAVE mode with preflash suppression:

•Mount and set up the SLAVE unit in the described man- ner.

• Turn on the SLAVE unit with the main switch .

• Set the SLAVE function selector		in Position 2 (see fig.
10). The SLAVE indicator	on the mecablitz will light up

and at one second intervals it will be interrupted by two brief pauses (SLAVE indicator 2 is briefly turned off twi- ce).

• Select auto mode A or manual mode M with the opera- ting mode selector on the SLAVE unit.

•Activate the controller mounted on the camera. Set flash synch speed or a slower shutter speed on the camera.

☞NOTE: The SLAVE unit only reacts to light pul- ses from the controlling master within a speci- fic period (fractions of a second). This makes the mecablitz almost insensible to flashes from other photographers who are not working with the measuring preflash method.

3.SLAVE function with cordless Metz remote system

	This SLAVE mode is exclusively intended for the cord-
	less Metz remote system. The controlling master
	flash unit on the camera must support the cordless
	Metz remote system (only mecablitz 40 MZ-.., 50
￿	MZ-5, 54 MZ-3, 70 MZ-..) and be set to the corre-
	sponding operating mode (see the operating instruc-
	tions for the given controller). The light output is con-
	trolled by the camera (Metz TTL remote system) or by
	a sensor integrated in the controller (Metz automatic
	remote system). The position of the operating mode
	selector	on the mecablitz is irrelevant.
