With Metz mecablitz digital into the future
The flexibility of Metz mecablitz units can be seen within the different flash families. They have the respective functionality to meet varying requirements. In principle, there are the following groups:

System flash units

With System flash units, using a flash is a great deal of fun. Thanks to them being highly-developed and fully automatic, you only have to attach the flash, and away you go. System flash units are available in different versions. In this way, they provide a specific connection for a specific brand of camera, with which they work together perfectly. Set the appropriate TTL control and guarantee perfect illumination for any ambient lighting conditions. Since requirements differ, there are five different models for each level of experience.

SCA flash units

Cameras can change, Metz can adapt! 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 of different manufacturers can be used. Flash units with SCA adapters are particularly good for reflex cameras, because they offer the richest array of special functions. Of course, the SCA modules are also suitable for cameras from many other manufacturers, because of the adapters available.

Automatic flash units

Automatic flash units are connected to the camera via a hot-shoe contact or a sync cord connection and have their own automatic flash control. This means that it isnt the camera that controls the flash, rather the flash itself responds intelligently and meters the light as precisely as required by the subject. Automatic flash units are available in manageable compact flash format in guide number classes 36 and 20. Automatic flash units are particularly suitable for digital bridge cameras with simple hot shoe flash.

Slave/servo flash units

The range of slave/servo flash units is designed to achieve extremely varied, interesting lighting effects. This is because they can be used as so-called off-camera flashes, because they can be positioned anywhere in the room. Because they dont need a direct contact to the camera, they are especially interesting for owners of compact digital cameras that dont have a flash connection option. The macro-flash mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is regarded as an innovation. Its wireless TTL* control makes it unique in its class. Even the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital, 50 AF-1 digital or the 44 AF-1 digital can be used as a slave, even though they are not directly assigned to this category. In this mode of operation, they also support the flash modes of the respective camera manufacturer.

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.

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.

Long exposure times

It is worth experimenting with exposure times that are longer than the flash sync speed. For moving objects, interesting blurring effects and a corresponding brightening of the foreground can be obtained in a range of approx. 1 second. By the way, the easiest way to extend the range of a flash unit is to increase the ISO setting on the camera. To be set at 1600 ISO instead of 100 thus quadrupling the range of the flash unit.

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/servo mode at close range: The Metz macro flash is fixed directly on the subject and creates precise yet creative lighting for close-ups. 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 is increased by the self-learning servo mode and the smart EASY mode. For the very first time the flash result can be directly manipulated via the immediate correction buttons (+/-). Simply shoot, check the result on the camera screen and adjust straight away as required all at the touch of a button. Thanks to this servo model you can increase your flash power without any undesired side effects. The compact tool draws its power from either universally available alkaline micro batteries or equally competitive rechargeable micro batteries.

A 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 AF measurement flash, the decentralized AF sensors are supported in the process. Automatic unit switch-off During extended breaks from photographing, the flash unit is switched automatically to an energy-saving 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. 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. B Buzzer Additional acoustic status messages can be activated for flash readiness, flash exposure control as well as warning tones. 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.
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 further development of the TTL flash control with measurement pre-flash technique for Canon EOS and PowerShot cameras. E-TTL II For E-TTL-II, additional data is taken into consideration during flash exposure such as the distance to the subject and the guide number of the flash unit, for example. Extended zoom 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. F Flash bracketing Flash bracketing series with three photos of different flash exposure: minus correction value, no correction value, and plus correction value. Flash readiness indication The flash readiness indication illuminates when there is enough energy in the flash capacitor of the flash unit. G
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 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. K Key function Locking of the operating elements. Protects against unintentional changes. L LCD / LED display Provides information on the flash modes and settings being used. (>>> Dot matrix display) 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.

D D-TTL Modern further development of the TTL flash control with measurement pre-flash technique for Nikon 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.
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.
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. Metal stand High quality metal base for secure attachment on camera shoe.
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.
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
