Innovation in the macro world!
A world first! The mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital, a completely redesigned, wireless Metz macro-flash, is equipped with two individually-controllable, swivelling reflectors integrated in the housing. The new ring-form macro-flash thus ensures balanced and precise lighting and also maximises the scope for customising light arrays in the macro area. With its individually variable reflectors (0-20) and the highly sensitive light distribution, there are no limits to personal creativity. It is easy to set light accents that are appropriate for each theme. And all this with maximum user-friendliness, because the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digitally regulates light through the automatic wireless TTL*, which provides reliable and precise lighting or provides differentiated lighting via its special slave function, by means of six different part-lighting levels.
The new Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital that is intended to be directly mounted on the lens, is suitable for nearly all cameras with models from Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/Samsung or Sony Alpha its remote TTL function first class user convenience. The camera flash covered with masked IR clips offers completely wireless control of the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital.
* Flash device with master function required (e.g. 58 AF-1 digital).
First class user convenience The mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital lies snug in the hand. Small, light, handy with a practical clip mechanism so it can be fixed to all standard lenses. With independent power supply, so that photographing is not disturbed by troublesome cables. In addition, an intuitive, attractive DOT matrix display makes the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital simplicity itself to use.
High quality DOT matrix display
Versatile macro flash with TTL and slave with learning function The remote TTL flash operation of the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital can be used for digital cameras of the following makes: Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/Samsung and Sony-Alpha. In this case, the camera must either have an integrated flash unit acting as master, or be equipped with add-on flash (e.g. Metz 58 AF-1 digital). In slave mode, the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is also suitable for nearly all other makes of camera. Manual flash operation can be carried out via a synchronous cable. In addition, Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital learns autonomously in the conventional slave mode! Its learning function ensures that the small slave flash is reliably triggered every time by the flash integrated in the camera even if this sends out a ranging pre-flash. In individual cases, this specific cooperation is attained by trial triggering in slave mode. In this case, the light amount emitted can be varied across 6 light levels. The bouncer disc included in the scope of delivery performs especially valuable service by ensuring even illumination. Rechargeable batteries or AAA batteries, compactly accommodated in the device, efficiently power the device. Equipped as standard with USB-interface for software updates via Internet.

An infrared clip-on and three adapter rings for 52, 55 and 58 mm are included in the scope of delivery as is a bouncer disc for soft light conditions.
Adapter rings in the sizes 62, 67 and 72 mm are optionally available.

Into the future with tradition
For decades, Metz has played a leading role in professional flash photography. Its no wonder, because the companys product range is very diverse. Ranging from handy and compact up to powerful handheld flashguns, there is just the right light for any need. The highly-developed SCA adapter system is another Metz strength. It makes it possible for Metz SCA flash units to be used on many cameras. Metz thus successfully manufactures products that stand out due to their versatility, long service life, and quality.

Excellent quality

Metz flash units operated convincingly in many tests. This is the case for light performance as well as reliability and handling. In order to maintain this quality, the Metz plants in Zirndorf near Nuremberg consistently rely on development and production in its German location. Highly-qualified personnel and our own training system, as well as the know-how from decades of development work, combined with demanding quality management (ISO 9001) in all corporate divisions guarantee that the highest demands are met: Metz always first class.

Metz Ideas have a future

Through an entire series of technical pioneer work, the Metz plants have established an excellent reputation over many decades. This is the result of core competences in the areas of electronics and plastics engineering. An entire series of
innovations, such as the worlds

Technical perfection

Decades of development experience and production in Germany ensure the high technical standard of Metz devices. The use of highquality components in connection with the most modern high-tech SMD assembly machines ensure that you can rely on Metz products. Convincing evidence for this is the worldwide marketing of high-quality products, both in the flash sector as well as in ultramodern TV production.
first integrated USB port in the mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital, mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital and mecablitz 15 MS-1digital, or the self-learning slave mode of the mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, are typical examples of this.

More fun better pictures
Using a flash pays off: Anyone using additional light when taking a photograph obtains better results, because in post-processing, it isnt possible to obtain missing colors or brilliance from the picture: The methods: Using a flash doesnt only mean flooding a dark subject with light; rather it also means handling this light in a target manner as well as creatively. There are very different methods available to achieve this. It starts with a direct flash of the subject with a flash unit fastened to the camera, and continues with a bounce flash, which is made possible by turning and tilting the reflector head. This way, the light can be redirected either with a special bounce diffuser or with an extendable, integrated reflector card. In addition, there are other flash methods that can be achieved through an off-camera use of the units. Adjusting the flash exposure plays a major role in the effect of a subject. In many Metz flash devices, the amount of light can be controlled variably, and thus balanced entirely according to need. In this way, a lighting mood is never lost. There is even considerable advantage in using a Metz flash in daylight. Shadowed areas or backlight can be brightened optimally in this way, and it enables pictures with undreamed-of sharpness and brilliance. In contrast to bygone eras, flashes and cameras themselves already contribute a great deal to successful exposure. These days, no flash photographer has to spend time on f-stop calculations or use various formulas. Intelligent units have now taken over most of the work. With the help of various special functions, one can concentrate on the essentials, i.e. the picture composition. That way, using a flash is really fun!

The unique special feature of Metz SCA flash units is that one and the same flash unit can be used with different cameras it doesnt matter whether they are digital or analog. By simply replacing the adapter, system cameras from different manufacturers can be used, because they offer the richest array of special functions. Flash units with SCA adapters are just as suitable for system camera owners as for medium-format camera owners. All members of the SCA family meet this criterion, whether it is a handheld flash gun or a compact flash.

A second look

Many wedding photographs are exclusively standard poses. Anyone who comes up with additional ideas here can score bonus points. Why not photograph the bridal couple or wedding guests during small talk? With some flash, the subject is given additional sharpness and brilliance. For this purpose, there are different partial light output levels to choose from with Metz handheld flash guns.

For pros

Great performance: The Metz mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital is a powerful handheld flashgun that is very convincing, due to its GN of 45 for ISO 100/21 and 35 mm focal length, as well as the most modern charging method available. It is an ideal flash unit for photographers who put higher priority on high light output and rapid recycling times, as well as extensive optional features. It is equipped with a secondary reflector in order to be able to create perfect highlights in portraits. It goes without saying that the camera-specific system flash modes of the various manufacturers can also be used perfectly with this professional flash, through various SCA adapters. The TTL mode and the automatic functions can be just as easily set as manual partial lighting, via the practical dial on the top of the 45 CL-4 digital. This flash unit, specially designed for digital cameras, also offers all the important special functions listed above for the 76 MZ-5 digital, including high-speed synchronization (HSS). The reflectors vertical and horizontal tilt and swivel abilities can also be used for indirect flash lighting, just like on the 76 MZ-5 digital. The Power Pack P 76 is available for particularly intensive professional use, which can increase the flash output and further reduce the flash recycle time.

Variable entry-level model: In conjunction with the respective SCA adapter, the mecablitz 44 MZ-2 digital can be used with almost any analog SLR camera as well as with digital cameras from Nikon and Olympus/Panasonic (Four Thirds standard). The powerful motor zoom compact flash model (GN 44) with the large light angle of 28-105 mm can be used either in TTL, automatic, or manual flash mode and is distinguished by the interesting special functions. For example, its strengths include the Nikon i-TTL flash mode, which makes fill-in flash possible in daylight to effectively brighten far too dark shadowy areas, second curtain synchronization (important to enable more natural blurring effects) and much more. In addition, the 44 MZ-2 digital supports the special flash functions for cameras from Hasselblad, Mamiya, Rollei, and Leica.

Side lighting

The slave flash mode is interesting in order to obtain especially varied directed lighting. Completely without a cable (wireless), this method can be used to place and trigger an external flash at any place in the room. In this way, interesting additional lighting can be set, whether in the form of a light accent or a side light, for example. Naturally, multiple slaves can be used at the same time. It is particularly exciting to use this to obtain separate lighting for the subject and the background of the picture.
Slave mode at close range: The Metz macro flash is attached directly onto the lens, thus enabling precise and creative lighting in the macro range. In addition to which the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital can also be used in its slave function for effectively brightening up dark areas of the picture.

Creative at close range:

Correct lighting is of particular importance in the macro range. The Metz macro flash 15 MS-1 digital is especially suited for this. Due to its positioning directly on the lens the light cannot fail to reach its destination. With its ring form and completely wireless functionality, the new Metz flash unit is excitingly attractive. Special light accents and a variety of lighting options are also possible thanks to adjustable reflectors. Thus, directed light can be adjusted in terms of contrast and brightness. In the slave mode, the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 can also be used to effectively lighten shadowed areas of pictures.

For the imaginative

Flash with a fun factor: Have you ever been upset due to photographs that are too dark, because the integrated flash in your camera was once again inadequate? Wouldnt you like to have a handy flash unit that can also be used separate from the camera once in a while? Then Metz has the perfect solution for you! Let the curtain rise for the Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, with technology and a size that have been optimally matched to compact digital cameras. The fun factor comes from the self-learning slave mode and the clever EASY mode. For the first time, flash results can be affected directly by means of the immediate correct buttons (+/-). This means you only have to take the shot check the results on the cameras monitor and readjust using the buttons if necessary. With this slave model, you increase the flash power absolutely without any undesired side effects. This is because it draws its energy either from alkaline micro batteries, which are available everywhere, or from equally economical rechargeable Micro batteries.

Automatic flash mode A photo sensor integrated in the flash unit measures the subject during photographing, and automatically terminates the light output as soon as the subject is correctly exposed.
flash exposure such as the distance to the subject and the guide number of the flash unit, for example. Extended zoom
B Buzzer Additional acoustic status messages can be activated for flash readiness, flash exposure control as well as warning tones. F C Correct exposure indication The correct exposure indication OK is shown on the flash unit after the photograph if the subject in automatic or TTL flash mode was correctly exposed.
With Motor Zoom mode, the main reflector illuminates the subject more than necessary by one reflector position. As a result, the additional dispersed light provides softer illumination of the subject.
Key function Locking of the operating elebracketing series with ments. Protects against unintentional changes. L LCD / LED display Provides information on the flash modes and settings being used. (>>> Dot matrix display) Flash
Flash bracketing three photos of different flash exposure: minus correction value, no correction value, and plus correction value.
M Manual flash mode Flash mode with unregulated light output. The flash unit delivers the full light output, if no partial light output is set. Manual zoom The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted manually to the lens focal length. Modeling light Modeling light is a stroboscope light with a high flash frequency lasting a few seconds. With this quasi permanent light, the light dispersion and shadow formation at the subject can be checked before taking the photograph. Motor zoom The zoom position of the main reflector and hence the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted automatically to the lens focal length. P Partial light mode Manual flash mode with unregulated light output. By setting partial light mode on the flash unit, the light output or illumination duration of the flash unit can be adapted specifically to the photographic situation. P-TTL Modern measurement further development of the TTL flash control with pre-flash technique for Pentax and Samsung cameras. R REAR Synchronisation to the 2nd shutter curtain for more natural blurring effects for longer exposure times.

Remote operation A remote system consists of a master or controller flash unit on the camera and one or more slave flash units. The slave flash unit is remotely controlled wirelessly by the master or controller flash unit. With a master flash unit, the flash light contributes to the exposure, in contrast to a controller flash unit. S SCA 3002 adapter system For system cameras with digital or analog data transmission between the camera and flash unit. By using an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system, there are numerous additional system flash functions available with flash units from the SCA 3002 system, depending on the type of camera. The firmware of an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system is updateable via Metz service for future cameras. The SCA 3002 adapters are an updated version of the SCA 3000 system. SCA 300 adapter system For system cameras for adaptation to flash units of the SCA 3002 or SCA 300 system. Depending on the type of camera, not all system flash functions are supported by the SCA 300 system. Secondary reflectorr To brighten shadows cast in the close-up ranges which appear when using an indirect flash. Slave mode An integrated sensor makes this wireless slave flash mode possible in combination with a master or controller flash unit. (>>> Remote operation) Stroboscope mode Manual flash mode for flash sequences with a selectable intensity, frequency, and number of flashes, e.g. for special effect photos and motion studies.
Swivel reflector Can be tilted horizontally and vertically for indirect flash. Can be tilted vertically for indirect flash. T TTL flash control While taking the photograph, the flash light is measured through the lens (TTL = through the lens) by a sensor in the camera. The light output of the flash unit is terminated as soon as the subject is correctly exposed. TTL fill-in flash control Reduces too high subject contrast (e.g. to brighten dark shadowy areas in bright sunshine). U USB Interface for firmware updates via the Internet. W Wake-up The flash unit can be reactivated by actuating the shutter release if the flash is in energy-saving standby mode after an extended break from taking photographs. (>>> Automatic unit switch-off) Wide-angle attachment Increases the light angle of the flash unit. Depending on the type of flash unit, the wide-angle attachment is either integrated or attachable as an accessory. Z Zoom size Automatic adaptation of the display of the reflector position of the flash unit to the picture-taking chips for digital cameras.
