9. Cordless SLAVE operation

The SLAVE mode permits cordless, delay-free remote

triggering of several additional SLAVE or servo flash

units. Advantages for the photographer:

- Mobile use of several flash units.

- No synch cable connection with the camera.

- Modelling illumination.

The SLAVE flash unit is triggered by a light pulse emitted

by the master flash unit (controller) mounted on the came-

ra or by the camera’s built-in flash.

The red-eye reduction preflash function must

not be activated on the controller or camera

when the mecablitz is used as a SLAVE! SLAVE

mode of the mecablitz is not possible in com-

bination with the stroboscopic function, high-

speed synchronisation (FP or HSS), Canon A-

TTL and E-TTL, Minolta-ADI or Nikon 3D flash

mode! If necessary these modes have to be

deactivated on the camera, the SCA adapter of

the controller or on the controller (see corre-

sponding operating instructions).

The hot shoe and the earthing contacts on the

side of the mounting foot  must not be

short-circuited.

The SLAVE flash unit and the controller are both triggered

when the camera’s shutter release is pressed. Both the

controller and the SLAVE flash unit must be ready for firing

when the picture is shot (illuminated flash-ready signal on

the flash unit).

To ensure reliable operation the sensor  of the SLAVE meca-

blitz must receive sufficient light from the controller! In the

event of malfunction it may be necessary to change the posi-

tion of the SLAVE so that its sensor  receives more light.

The mecablitz must be mounted on the supplied stand or

combined with the camera on the „34-36 flash bracket“

for SLAVE mode. The mecablitz with stand is set up in the

required position or mounted on a tripod. Normally, the

reflector of the SLAVE flash unit will be directed towards

the subject.

Our tip:

For off-camera operation (the mecablitz is operated as a

SLAVE at a distance from the camera), the wide-angle dif-

fuser W (8) should be positioned in front of the reflector to

achieve the widest possible illumination of the subject.

The following three SLAVE functions are available:

The required SLAVE function is set on the mecablitz with

the SLAVE function selector .
