12.5 Modelling light ML

The modelling light is a sequence of stroboscopic flashes at high frequency during approx. 4 seconds which give the impression of permanent light. Modelling light ena- bles the user to assess light distribution and shadow for- mation before taking pictures.

Setting the modelling light function:

•Repeatedly depress the Select button until the icon flashes on the LC display. Select „ON“ with the setting disk. Push the setting disk in direction of the arrow to store the function. The modelling light func- tion will be automatically stored after 5 seconds if the setting disk is not pressed.

The flash-ready indicator flashes on the mecablitz to indicate that the modelling light function has been activated. The modelling light is triggered by the meca- blitz when the button is pressed.

In Metz REMOTE mode (TTL and Auto REMOTE), trigge- ring the controller’s modelling light will cause the model- ling light on all slaves to be fired simultaneously (with 40 MZ-... in combination with the SCA 3080 adapter as from version M1 or an SCA 3082 adapter).

A fully charged set of batteries (600 mAh) is sufficient to trigger the modelling light approx. 60 times. Dry-cell bat- teries are not recommendable for the modelling light mode because their higher internal resistance impedes the fast supply of power required by the flash capacitor.

Deactivating the modelling light function:

•Depress the Select button repeatedly until the icon flashes on the LC display. Select „OFF“ with the setting disk. Press the setting disk in direction of the arrow for storage. The setting will be automatically stored after 5 seconds if the setting disk is not pressed.

The flash ready indicator lights permanently on the mecablitz.
