remote address (remote channel) "Ad1" or "Ad2" instead of the correction value.

(Ni): The Nikon fill-in flash function "Matrix-control- led fill-in flash" or "3D multi-sensor fill-in flash" cannot be set on the mecablitz.

•The given fill-in flash mode can only be set on the mecablitz if the latter has been fitted with an SCA 3402 adapter and mounted on a switched-on camera that supports the given fill-in flash function. Data exchange between camera and SCA adapter must have taken place at least once (simply tap the camera release lightly without tripping the shutter).

•"3D multisensor fill-in flash" (Nikon) is not supported in remote mode, when the main reflector is swivelled out of its basic position or when the secondary reflec- tor has been switched on. Consequently, this function cannot be activated under the above conditions.

•The given controlled Nikon fill-in flash mode depends on the given camera model.

The aperture symbol and stop value flash on the LC display of the mecablitz.

•The light-controlling range of the mecablitz in automa- tic flash mode is being exceeded under the given pic- ture-shooting conditions or with the given camera set- tings.

Remedy: Darken the ambient area of the shot; load a less sensitive film; or set a smaller aperture opening on the camera or mecablitz.

The AF red-light emitter of the mecablitz is not activated

Possible causes:

•Ambient light is sufficient for the camera's AF sensor to enable focusing.

•If necessary the camera will activate its own AF illumi- nator.

•An AF mode other than Single-AF (S) has been activa- ted.

•A decentral AF metering area has been activated on the camera.

Remedy:

•Set the Single-AF or S camera AF operating mode (see the operating instructions for the given camera).

•Activate the central AF sensor in the camera's viewfin- der.
