Professional flashes in 2 new versions
The Metz mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital is now available in a choice of basic or kit versions. While the former is intended for photographers who largely work with manual or automatic flashes, the kit version, in addition to various special functions, also the appropriate SCA connecting cable, NiMH batteries and a modern recharging unit. Needless to say, the basic model can be retrofitted as required. The Metz mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital is a powerful handheld flashgun with a GN of 45 for ISO 100/21 at a 35 mm focal length, as well as the latest recharging technology. In the basic version, it is an ideal flash unit for photographers who put a higher priority on manual adjustment, high light output and rapid recycling times than on an extensive range of options. It is equipped with a secondary reflector so that perfect highlights can be created in portraits. In the kit version, the camera-specific system flash operating modes of the widest variety of camera makers can be used perfectly, providing a suitable SCA adapter is available. 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. The reflector's vertical and horizontal tilt and swivel abilities can also be used for indirect flash lighting.

For semi-professionals

Especially versatile: Presenting the simple and highly functional flagship of the Metz SCA compact flash units. It is convincing due to the: High light output: GN of 54 at ISO 100/21 and 105 mm focal length. Large light angle: illumination of a focal length range of 24-105 mm. switch-controlled secondary reflector, with light output that can be reduced by using a grey filter. Ease of use: a large display ensures you always have a good overview. Only two function keys and a control dial facilitate good handling. Great flexibility: To begin with, the Metz 54 MZ-4i digital is available with a standard foot. Furthermore, due to the SCA system, there are many adapters available for almost any camera. Diversity: Via various adapters, there are also a great deal of interesting special functions such as E-TTL and E-TTL II flash mode from Canon, i-TTL from Nikon, or ADI flash control from Sony Alpha, and many more, which increase the creative flexibility.

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.

The flash units in this family dont have TTL flash mode; instead, they have the so-called automatic flash mode, in addition to manual flash mode. Numerous photographers still make use of this simple but extremely effective form of flash measurement. With automatic flash mode, it isnt the camera that controls the flash, but instead, the photocell integrated in the flash measures the light reflected from the object. It is a really nice thing!

Fill-in flash

Backlighting makes interesting light effects possible, if you know how to use it correctly. A flash should be used in any case. With the flash output reduced by 1 or 2 f-stops, it is possible to retain the character of the existing light. The higher the guide number, the greater the range of the flash unit. However, when comparing, it is important to make sure that the same focal length and the same ISO specification are used.

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.

Special feature

m e c a b l i t z M S - 1 Digi ta l
Innovation in the macro world! As a wireless macro flash, the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital has two individually adjustable reflectors. As a result this new ring-shaped macro flash ensures even, precise lighting On the other hand it also enriches creative lighting configuration in the macro range. There are no limits to personal creativity thanks to the individually adjustable reflectors (0- 20) and the associated finely calibrated light-distribution. In this way it is particularly easy to create effective highlights with any subject. This is all achieved with maximum ease because the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital automatically adjusts its light output by means of wireless TTL*, making it particularly reliable and precise. There is also a clear, dot-matrix display, which makes the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital even easier to use. If you are looking for even greater scope for creativity, you can use the manual control facility of the new mecablitz 15 MS-1. This enables you to vary the amount of light given off, with six levels of light output. Spacesaving, built-in batteries / rechargeables provide an efficient source of power. The Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is suitable for all camera manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung and Sony-Alpha) even if the camera does not have a built-in flash, because the manual flash mode can also be used by means of the sync cable.

A ADI Modern further development of the TTL flash control for Sony Alpha and Konica-Minolta cameras in which, for example, the data for distance to the subject must be put into the flash exposure in addition. AF measurement flash An autofocus auxiliary light (AF measurement flash) integrated in the flash unit automatically supports the central autofocus sensor of the camera in the event of low ambient light. For a multi-zone the process. Automatic unit switch-off During extended breaks from photographing, the flash unit is switched automatically to an energysaving standby state to prevent the power source from discharging (Auto-Off). Through the wake-up function, the flash unit is reactivated, for example when the shutter release is actuated. AF measurement flash, the decentralized AF sensors are supported in
D D-TTL Modern further development of the TTL flash control with measurement pre-flash technique for Nikon and Fujifilm cameras. 3D and D-TTL-3D For the 3D-TTL (Nikon) and D-TTL-3D flash control, additional data such as the distance to the subject, for example, is taken into consideration in the flash exposure. Dot matrix display with soft keys Individual adaptation of the display on the camera system and the operating state for optimum and self-explanatory operation of the flash unit via soft keys. E E-TTL Modern measurement further development technique for of the TTL flash control with pre-flash Canon EOS and PowerShot cameras. E-TTL II
Flash readiness indication The flash readiness indication illuminates when there is enough energy in the flash capacitor of the flash unit. G Guide number (GN) The guide number is the code number for the light output of a flash unit. It is dependent on the set light sensitivity ISO and (for zoom reflectors) on the reflector position, as well as on any reflector attachments that may be in use (e.g. wideangle or telephoto lens cover). For high speed synchronization (HSS), the guide number is dependent on the shutter speed as well. H HSS high speed synchronization In high speed synchronization (HSS), you can flash with exposure times that are shorter than the flash sync time of the camera. As a result, flash photos with wide aperture openings are possible for high ambient light levels, for example to limit the depth of field in portrait shots. I For E-TTL-II, additional data is taken into consideration during i-TTL Modern further development of the TTL flash control with measurement pre-flash technique for Nikon and Fujifilm cameras. i-TTL-BL For the i-TTL BL flash control, additional data such as the distance to the subject, for example, is taken into consideration in the flash exposure.

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.
