17.1 Controller mode

• Set the flash mode TTL (for Metz TTL remote) or auto A (for Metz automatic
remote) on the controller flash unit (see 6)

camera and SCA adapter must support the standard TTL flash mode!

• Select “Remote” with the Up / Down buttons . Remote is then highligh-
ted with a bar.
• Press the button “Set” and so confirm the menu selection.

• Trigger a test flash: press the manual firing button and in this way
programme the slaves to the remote address set on the controller.
• The slave flash unit responds with a delayed flash and in this way indicates
☞
☞that it has been programmed and is operational. If several slaves are ope-
rated simultaneously, all the slaves will acknowledge flash readiness simul-
taneously.
If a slave does not respond by firing a delayed flash, then this means that the
sensor in the slave flash unit did not receive the light pulse of the control-
ler. Turn the slave flash unit so that the sensor can receive the light pulse of
the controller. Then retrigger a test flash on the controller.

operating the handle mount without control unit the slave flash mode is
