2. General description

This SCA 3602 adapter permits Sony digital cameras to be used in conjunction with an additional external flash unit (mecablitz). The adapter is not suitable for cameras made by other manufacturers.

Sony digital cameras transmit data, such as f-stop, CCD sensitivity (ISO), etc. to the mecablitz. Depending on the type of camera used, the selected operating mode and the mecablitz model, the flash light can be controlled in the TTL flash control, the auto flash mode A or the manual flash mode M.

Simultaneous use of the camera’s built-in flash in combination with an external flash unit is not possible for system induced reasons. When taking flash shots make sure to observe the instructions given in the camera manual.

☞

●

Supplement to safety notes for SCA 3602 Sony DSC-F707, -F717, -F828:

If a heavy flash unit is mounted on the camera’s accessory shoe, the camera must be held by the lens - risk of tilting !

3. Operating modes

3.1 Flash modes of the mecablitz

For operation of the mecablitz 45 CL-4 and 60 CT-4, the SCA 3000C converter cable (available as an optional extra) is additionally required.

When using the mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 45 CL-4 and 60 CT-4, a fixed CCD sensitivity (ISO) must be selected on the camera. Avoid using the AUTO setting.

3.1.1 Auto flash mode A

The sensor integrated into the mecablitz controls the output of light.

Switch the mecablitz to auto flash mode A. Set

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 8

switch  on the SCA adapter to the left NORM position. The indicator  on the SCA adapter is illuminated in green.

The indicator  flashes in green to warn you if the operating mode „TTL“ is set on the mecablitz. In such an instance an uncontrolled full-output flash would be fired when the picture is shot.

In the auto mode “A”, the RED-EYE REDUCTION preflash function is supported by the

flash units 44 MZ-2, 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ-... .

mecablitz 40 MZ-...,

44 MZ-2, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-...,

70 MZ-... : You can select „Program AE Mode“, „SCN“, „A“,

„S“ or „M“ on the camera. Auto aperture and ISO sensitivity of the mecablitz are automatically adapted to the camera settings.

mecablitz 32 Z-2,

32 MZ-3, 45 CL-4, 60 CT-4:

You can select the operating mode „A“ or „M“ on the camera. On the mecablitz, the ISO value must be adjusted by hand to the CCD sensitivity set on the camera. Manually select an auto aperture on the mecablitz to match the existing shooting situation. This aperture must also be set on the camera by hand.

Take into account the maximum flash range indicated on the aperture calculator of the mecablitz!

3.1.2 TTL flash control

The cameras DSC-V1, DSC-V3 and DSC-F828 support the TTL flash control when used in conjunction with the flash units mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 40 MZ..., 44 MZ-2, 45 CL-4, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ...

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 9

and 70 MZ-... TTL flash control is an automatic flash mode where flash exposure is measured by a sensor built into the camera. In principle, the TTL flash mode with a Sony digital camera is a partiallight-output related GN mode with preflash metering, where one or more pre-flashes are fired a fraction of a second before the picture is shot. The TTL flash control is supported by all camera modes (e.g. P, A, S, M).

The TTL flash mode of Sony digital cameras must not be mistaken with the standard TTL flash control of analog cameras! We therefore recommend that the secondary reflector of the flash unit (e.g. 45 CL-4, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-5) is not activated. The Metz Remote TTL Mode is not supported on account of the pre-flash system.

Settings:

• Switch the flash unit to TTL mode (see operating instructions for the given flash unit).

• Set the SELECT switch  of the adapter in the “B” position.

• Set the switch  of the adapter in the “GN” position.

The RED-EYE REDUCTION preflash function is supported by the above flash units.

3.1.3 Manual flash mode M

The mecablitz always emits the same defined amount of light. Depending on the mecablitz model, full light output or partial light output levels can be chosen. The Winder („W“) or Stroboscopic Mode are partial light output levels.

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 10

Switch the mecablitz to manual mode M (choose a partal light output level, if necessary). Set switch  on the SCA adapter to the left NORM position. The indicator  on the SCA adapter is illuminated in green.

The indicator  flashes in green to warn you if the operating mode „TTL“ is set on the mecablitz. In such an instance an uncontrolled full-output flash would be fired when the picture is shot.

Operating mode „A“ or „M“ can be selected on the camera.

4. Program auto flash mode only DCS -V1, -V2, -F828

In the Program Auto Flash Mode the camera automatically controls the aperture, the shutter speed and the mecablitz in such a manner that optimum results are achieved with mecablitz flashes in most shooting situations, also in the fill-in flash mode.

Settings Camera:

Select the Program AE Mode (camera symbol) or SCN on your camera. Under SCN you have the choice of TWILIGHT, LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT. Now choose either Auto Flash or Enforced Flash (see operating instructions for the given camera).

mecablitz: Set the TTL Flash Mode on the meca-

blitz.

SCA 3602: Move switch  to the position GN. The

position of switch  is B.

5. Functions of mecablitz and camera

5.1 Flash readiness indication

When flash readiness has been reached, the flashready indicator on the flash unit lights up and the flash unit transmits a corresponding signal to the adapter or camera.

The indicator lamp for flash recycling on the camera goes out. The flash unit will not be triggered if a picture is shot before the indicator lamp goes out, with the result that the shot may be underexposed.

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 14

5.2 Flash synch speed

Sony digital cameras permit flash shots to be taken at all shutter speeds. Synchronisation for flash operation is therefore not necessary. Should, however, the maximum output or guide number be required for picture shooting, the camera’s shutter speed must not be faster than 1/125 sec.

5.3 Correct exposure confirmation on the mecablitz

When the mecablitz is operated in the TTL or Auto A mode an LED on the mecablitz will light up for approx. 3 seconds as a visual „OK“ signal to confirm correct flash exposure.

Some flash units (mecablitz 40 MZ-3, 40 MZ-3i, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-5) transmit an acoustic signal (beep) in addition to the visual one. Please refer to the operating instructions for the given mecablitz model.

The camera does not give a correct exposure confirmation.

5.4 Manual flash exposure correction

There are certain photographic situations where the light sensor can be deceived. This is particularly the case with a dark subject in front of a bright background (the subject will be underexposed; a positive correction value is required) or a bright subject in front of a dark background (the subject will be overexposed; a negative correction value is required). To overcome this problem in such a photographic situation and still achieve a correct exposure, the flash intensity can be influenced during flash operation.

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 15

A flash exposure correction value should be set either on the camera OR on the mecablitz (44 MZ-2, 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ-...). We do not recommend the setting of a correction value on both the camera and the mecablitz.

Do not forget to delete the setting of a manual flash exposure correction after shooting!

5.4.1 Manual exposure correction on the camera (FLASH LEVEL)

A manual flash exposure correction (FLASH LEVEL) can be set in the camera’s menu. For the setting procedure please refer to the operating instructions for the given camera.

• Correction setting HIGH = positive correction

value; approx. +1/2 f-stop

• Correction setting LOW = negative correction

value; approx.. -1/2 f-stop

• NORMAL setting = no flash exposure correction

will be made.

mecablitz 70 MZ-...,

54 MZ-..., 50 MZ-5, 44 MZ-2

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 16

5.4.2 Manual flash exposure correction on the mecablitz

The mecablitz 44 MZ-2, 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ-... permit flash exposure corrections to be made in the TTL flash mode and the auto flash mode A. Correction values can be set between -3 EV and +3 EV in 1/3 increments (for the setting procedure please refer to the operating instructions for the mecablitz.

5.5 Flash bracketing

A flash bracketing series consists of three successive flash shots with different flash exposure correction values. The mecablitz 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ5 permit a flash bracketing series to be taken in the TTL flash mode and in the auto flash mode A. The desired correction value is set on the mecablitz (see operating instructions for the given mecablitz).

No flash exposure correction should be set on the camera if a flash bracketing series is selected on the mecablitz.

5.6 Red-eye reducing preflash function

Red eyes are always the result of a physical effect. This problem arises whenever a person looks more a less straight into the camera, the ambient light is relatively dark, and the flash unit is mounted on or directly next to the camera. The flash unit illuminates the back of the eyes, revealing the blood-filled retina through the pupil. This is recorded by the camera as a red spot in the eyes.

The red-eye reduction facility brings about a significant improvement. When this function is used the mecablitz triggers some weakly visible preflashes prior to shutter operation, followed by the main

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 17

flash. These preflashes induce the pupils to close down, thereby diminishing the red-eye effect.

The preflash function is activated on the camera and indicated on the camera’s LC display by a corresponding symbol (see camera manual). There is no setting made on the mecablitz nor is the redeye reducing function indicated on the mecablitz display.

mecablitz 44 MZ-2,

54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-... :

The preflash function for red-eye reduction is supported in the TTL flash mode and in the auto flash mode A.

and 50 MZ-5: The preflash function for red-eye reduction in only

supported in the TTL flash mode. mecablitz 60 CT

-4:

The preflash function for red-eye reduction is not supported.

5.7 Triggering control (Auto Flash)

Some cameras offer an „Auto Flash“ facility when, for example, in the Program AE Mode. The mecablitz will then only be triggered when considered necessary by the camera’s electronics. This operating mode is set on the camera. For more details please refer to the individual camera manual.

5.8 Enforced Flash

Enforced Flash can be selected in various operating modes of the camera. The mecablitz will then be triggered each time a picture is shot.

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 18

If the auto flash mode A is set on the mecablitz, this feature will produce the effect of a fill-in flash in daylight.

5.9 AF illuminator control

The AF illuminator built into the camera is activated by the camera electronics when the ambient lighting conditions are insufficient for automatic focusing. Not support an AF illuminator or AF measuring beam of an external flash unit (e.g. mecablitz).

5.10 Motor zoom control

Sony digital cameras do not transmit any data for adjustment of the mecablitz reflector to the zoom position of the camera lens.

mecablitz 40 MZ-...,

44 MZ-2, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-...

and 70 MZ-... : Switching on the flash unit automatically activates

the „Auto Zoom“ mode and causes the reflector to be set to its 28 mm position (shortest focal length of zoom lens). This 28 mm reflector position can be maintained for the complete zoom range of the camera lens.

mecablitz 32 MZ-3: The setting slide  for the zoom reflector on the

mecablitz must be adjusted to position „CZ“ or „28 mm“. The 28 mm reflector position can be maintained for the complete zoom range of the camera lens.

5.11 Cordless Metz Auto Remote Mode

The mecablitz flash units 40 MZ-..., 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ-... permit cordless automatic flash control of several flash units in the Metz Auto Remote Mode.

Light output control of the off-camera mecablitz flash units (slaves) is handled by the mecablitz mounted on the camera which has a built-in sensor and functions as the controller in the auto flash mode. Slave flash units additionally require the SCA 3083 digital adapter. The mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, 34 CS-2 / 34 CS-2 digital or the 50 MZ-5 / 70 MZ-5 flashguns (without controller) can also be operated as slave flash units without an additonal SCA adapter.

Please refer to the operating instructions of your mecablitz for the setting procedure of the Metz Auto Remote Mode.

The camera’s shutter speed must not be faster than 1/60th second for the Metz Auto Remote Mode. The red-eye-reduction function is not possible. The Metz TTL Remote Mode is not supported for system-induced reasons.

5.12 Wake-up function for the mecablitz

The mecablitz 54 MZ-... features an auto-off function that automatically turns the unit off the camera has switched to standby mode. When automatically switched off the mecablitz is in a power saving standby state. The SCA adapter switches the mecablitz on again (wake-up function) when the camera is reset to normal operation.

☞

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 20.02.2008 15:48 Uhr Seite 20

Switch off the mecablitz by its main switch if you are not likely to use it for an extended period of time !

5.13 Auto-on function for the camera

Switching on the mecablitz by its main switch will automatically switch on the camera.

5.14 Other remarks

• Depending on the type of camera and flash unit

used, the aperture and ISO values given on the flash unit may deviate from the camera settings. This is due to camera-inherent reasons. Additional manual corrections on the flash unit need not be made.

• Depending on the flash unit, the LC display may

not indicate the aperture, the ISO value and the maximum flash range !

6. Troubleshooting hints

Verify if the adapter plug is properly inserted in the „ACC“ accessory socket on the camera.

Should the LC display of your mecablitz indicate meaningless information or should the flash unit not function properly in the individual modes, try to remedy the problem as follows:

1a) Switch off the flash unit by its main switch. 1b) Remove the batteries. 1c) Switch on the flash unit for about 1 second and

then off again. 1d) Re-insert the batteries. or / and: 2a) Switch off the camera and the mecablitz. 2b) Remove the SCA adapter from the mecablitz

and then re-mount it. The flash unit should operate properly when it is
