Troubleshooting hints

Problems with the remote controller mode and flash bracketing:

•A flash bracketing sequence is not possible in remote controller mode! If flash bracketing has been set and the mecablitz is then set for remote mode, flash bracketing will no longer be displayed, nor is it carried out!

Remote controller mode with flash exposure correc- tion:

•If flash exposure correction is set on the mecablitz, fol- lowed by a change to remote controller mode, then the subsequent shots will be exposed with this correction value, but the mecablitz display will not (!) indicate the correction value!

(Ni): No Nikon underexposure display in remote mode:

•Some Nikon cameras indicate a warning signal (-EV) on the LC display of the mecablitz if a shot is underex- posed by flash. The mecablitz does not support this function in remote mode.

No REAR mode with HSS high-speed synchronisati- on:

•REAR mode (second-curtain synchronisation) cannot be set when HSS high-speed synchronisation has been activated on the mecablitz.

•Setting HSS high-speed synchronisation when REAR mode is set deactivates the REAR mode!

The ISO film speed is not indicated on the display of the mecablitz

•The mecablitz is either in remote mode ("Co" or "SL") or in stroboscope mode. The ISO value is never indica- ted on the LC display of the mecablitz when these ope- rating modes have been set.

•The Canon and Minolta system cameras do not indica- te the ISO value on the LC display!

Nikon 3D flashlight pulses cause uncontrolled slave operation

☞WARNING: The mecablitz slave is triggered in an uncontrolled manner when the sensor in the SCA 3082 slave adapter receives the light from a flash unit operating in Nikon 3D mode!

•This can only be remedied by changing from 3D mode to normal TTL flash mode (without 3D).
