6. Flash in the individual camera modes

7. Autofocus measuring ﬂash

If the mecablitz is switched on and ready for ﬁring,

a ﬂash will be ﬁred each time the camera's shutter

is released. The amount of light is controlled by

TTL.

Triggering lock (only SF1 and SFx)

On the Pentax SFx and SF1 cameras, the ﬂash will

not be ﬁred when the prevailing light is sufficient

for an exposure in normal mode. The exposure is

then completed with the shutter speed indicated in

the display ﬁeld.

If you intend to take a shot with a shutter speed

faster than e.g. 1/250 sec. (depending on the

camera model) you must switch off the ﬂashgun.

Refer to the camera's operating instructions for

details.

The integrated AF red-light beam of the mecablitz

supports the automatic focusing of autofocus TTL

cameras. When the prevailing light is insufficient

for automatic focusing, the mecablitz will project a

pattern of red vertical stripes onto the subject as

soon as the camera's shutter release is lightly tou-

ched.. The camera’s autofocus system then focu-

ses the picture by this striped pattern.
