Pentax 40 MZ-3i operating instructions Winder mode, Using the winder in the manual mode

7.1 Metz cordless auto remote operation

Proceed as described in ch. 7 to check and change the slave address, and to switch off automatic remote operation. To assess the overall lighting conditions, press the ML button for at least 2 seconds. This willl trigger a modelling light (approx. 4 seconds). All slaves (40 MZ-1(i) and MZ-3(i) with SCA 3080 M-1 adap- ter) likewise emit a modelling light.

8. Winder mode

The winder mode involves shooting a sequence of pictures at a rate of several frames per second. It is a manual mode with partial light output

￿levels, and is only recommended with NiCad batteries or high-power alka- line manganese batteries. Table 5 of the Technical Data indicates which partial light output level is suited for a given frame frequency (frames per second = flashes per second).

Using the winder in the manual mode

In the manual mode, the exposures are made with a fixed partial light output level selected in conformity with the winder data given in Table 5 of the Technical Data.

Using the winder in auto and TTL modes

In these modes it is possible to ensure that a flash will be fired with each exposure of a series of pictures. For this purpose a partial light output level can be adjusted in conformity with the winder data (Table 5).

☞Shots that require less light are automatically controlled by the auto- matic or TTL light output system and are, therefore, correctly exposed.

Shots that require more light than the adjusted partial light output level may be underexposed!
