1. Safety Instructions  
2. Preparations  
Suitable batteries  
Never fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes!  
Flash fired directly in front of the eyes of a person or animal can  
damage the retina and lead to severe visual disorders - even blindness!  
Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from the flashgun!  
Lye leaking out of dead batteries will damage the flash unit.  
Never recharge dry-cell batteries such as alkaline manganese and  
lithium batteries!  
Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries!  
Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, for instance sunshine, fire  
and the like!  
Fig. 1: Suitable AA-size batteries  
The flashgun can be operated with any of the following batteries:  
Never throw exhausted batteries on a fire!  
• 4 NiCad rechargeable batteries, type IEC KR 15/51.  
They ensure fast recycling times and are very economical as they can be  
recharged over and over again.  
Do not expose the flashgun to dripping and splashing water!  
Protect the flashgun against excessive heat and humidity! Do not store  
the flashgun in the glove compartment of a car!  
• 4 nickel metal hydride batteries. They have a much higher capacity than  
NiCad batteries and have less impact on the environment because they are  
free from cadmium.  
Make sure to tighten the knurled screw firmly so that the flashgun can-  
not slip off!  
When taking a sequence of pictures at full light output and fast recycle  
times during NiCad battery operation, shooting should be interrupted for  
at least 3 minutes after every 15 flashes, in order to prevent overloading.  
• 4 alkaline-manganese batteries, type IEC LR6.  
Maintenance-free power source for moderate requirements.  
Never place material that is impervious to light in front of, or directly on,  
the reflector screen. The reflector screen must be perfectly clean when a  
flash is fired. The high energy of the flash light will burn the material or  
damage the reflector screen if this is not observed!  
• 4 lithium batteries, type FR6 L91.  
Can be stored for many years with virtually no loss of power, thus making  
them ideal for occasional use.  
Power Pack P 40 (optional extra)  
Provides microprocessor controlled battery monitoring and state-of-charge  
indication (with discharge function).

This facility is a testing aid for alkaline manganese batteries only. It is  
of no significance for other battery types.  
Push the battery compartment cover in direction of the arrow as far as  
possible.  
If the flashing battery symbol appears, the remaining energy is still sufficient for  
a limited number of flashes. Some battery models may cause the warning indi-  
cator to flash prematurely, with about 50 % of their capacity left. Such batteries  
should be replaced only when really discharged (if recycling takes longer than 60  
sec.).  
Insert the batteries lengthwise into the compartment.  
When inserting the batteries ensure that their polarity is correct, as  
indicated by the symbols in the battery compartment!  
Close the battery compartment cover  
.
The condition of the batteries can only be checked if the flashgun is switched on  
and after a few flashes have been fired.  
Exhausted batteries must not be thrown into the dustbin! Contribute  
to the protection of the environment and discard dead batteries at the  
appropriate disposal points.

The flashgun can only be attached to the camera with the Standard Foot 301 or  
an SCA 300/SCA 3000 adapter (optional extra).  
Synch connection between flashgun and camera is automatically established  
when the flashgun is inserted into the camera’s accessory shoe.  
Before mounting or removing the flashgun, switch off both the camera  
and the flashgun  
On cameras without a hot shoe, synchronisation is achieved with a synch cable  
(36-50, normal, or 36-52, coiled).  
Slip the flashgun into the camera’s accessory shoe and lock it into position by  
turning down the knurled screw  
.
Switching the flashgun on and off  
The standard 40 MZ-3(i) version comes with the Standard Foot 301 which provides sim-  
ple flash synchronisation, while the Set version is supplied with the corresponding  
SCA adapter.  
The flashgun is switched on with the main switch . It is permanently on when  
in ON position.  
To switch off, push the main switch to the lower position.

Setting procedure for TTL mode:  
Adjust the camera according to the manufacturer’s Operating Instructions.  
In TTL mode, the exposure readings are made by the sensor built into the  
camera (Fig. 6).This sensor measures the light reaching the film through the

signal to the flashgun as soon as the film has been exposed by the correct  
amount of light; the flash is then instantly cut out.  
2 Set the operating mode selector to TTL.  
*Press the ISO button and adjust the film speed with the +or -“  
button  
.
The advantage of this flash mode is that all factors influencing the correct exposure  
of the film, such as filters, change of aperture and focal length with zoom lenses,  
extensions for close-ups, etc. are automatically taken into account.  
*Press the ZOOM button and use the +or -“ button to adjust the  
zoom value selected with the camera’s lens.  
If necessary, press the P button and adjust the partial light output level with  
the +or -button (e.g. in winder mode).  
The TTL flash mode can only be carried out with cameras that feature  
this function. The flashgun must be fitted with a corresponding SCA

Exposure corrections may be necessary with pronounced differences  
in contrast, for instance dark objects in snow (see ch. 15, p. 54).  
*must additionally be set on some cameras.  
In the event that film speed and aperture are not transmitted auto-  
matically, there is no need to make these settings manually; they are  
insignificant for a correct exposure. They are, however, necessary for  
correct indication of the distance.

tons.  
In TTL Easy Mode with the SCA 300 adapter, the zoom position is constantly adjusted  
to 28 mm to ensure that the subject is always adequately illuminated.  
This eliminates the need to recalculate and readjust the aperture each time the  
distance is changed, provided that the subject remains within the indicated auto  
flash range.  
In TTL Easy Mode with the SCA 3000 adapter, the zoom setting is matched to the  
focal length of the lens, and a distance range is indicated, provided that the  
camera supplies the zoom information.  
²
The flash unit’s sensor must be directed at the subject, regardless of the direction  
at which the main reflector  
is pointing. The sensor has a measuring angle of  
approx. 25° and takes measurements only during the emission of light by the  
flashgun in which it is integrated.  
We recommend the TTL Easy Mode when using an SCA 300 adapter.  
Distance indication on the LC display is not possible in this mode.  
In the auto mode, also partial light output levels can be adjusted (see ch. 9, p.32).  
Setting procedure for TTL Easy Mode:  
Between six and twelve working apertures are available in the auto mode,  
depending upon the adjusted ISO film speed.  
Adjust the camera according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

The subject should be located within the middle third of this distance  
range, thus giving the electronic control sufficient scope for compen-  
sation, if necessary.  
There is a certain measure of overlap between the individual working apertures.  
As a result of this overlap it is always possible to place the subject within the  
middle third of the range.

Caution with zoom lenses!  
Fig. 10: Settings for the auto mode  
Due to their design they can cause a loss of light in the order of up to  
one f-stop. Furthermore, the effective aperture can also vary, depen-  
ding upon the adjusted focal length.This can be compensated by  
correcting the aperture on the flashgun manually!

the f-number to the flash unit also in the auto flash mode. Should this  
be the case, the auto aperture need not be set on the flashgun.

Fig. 14: Lock-in positions of reflector and head  
Photos shot with full frontal flash are easily recognized by their harsh, dense  
shadows. This is often associated with a sharp drop of light from the fore-  
ground to the background.  
³
When turning the reflector , or flash head, it is essential to ensure that it is moved  
by a sufficiently wide angle so that direct light can no longer fall on the subject.  
Therefore, always turn the reflector or head at least to the first lock-in position.  
This phenomenon can be avoided with bounce flash because the diffused  
light will produce a soft and uniform rendition of both the subject and the

For colour effects just select reflective surfaces in the desired colour.  
T
he reflector can be turned vertically and horizontally. The vertical lock-in positions  
for bounce flash are:  
Use of the secondary reflector  
is advantageous to avoid disturbing dense  
shadows with bounce flash, for instance under the nose and in the eye sockets,  
in portraiture.  
• 60°, 75° and 90° (simply tilt the reflector to the required angle)  
The flash head can be swivelled horizontally through 270°, and locks into position  
at 60°, 90°, and 180°.  
The distance values on the LC display disappear as soon as the reflector  
is tilted upwards or the flash head turned horizontally. The distance from  
the flashgun to the ceiling or wall and from there to the subject is now an  
unknown factor.

Slip the light reducing filter on the secondary reflector , over the AF measuring  
beam aperture, and allow it to lock in place.  
Symbols on the LC display indicate that the secondary reflector  
is on  
(Fig. 16). If these symbols flash, you are advised that the main reflector is not til-  
ted and that use of the secondary reflector is not expedient.  
Bouncing the flash in the auto and TTL modes  
It is advisable to check prior to the actual exposure whether the light is sufficient  
for the selected aperture. Proceed in the manner described in ch. 14, p. 47.  
When the secondary reflector is activated, 90% of the light will be emitted by the  
³
main reflector , and approx. 10% by the secondary reflector  
.
The stated percentages may vary when using the flash with partial light output  
levels and switched-on secondary reflector.  
Bouncing the flash in the manual mode  
The required camera aperture in the manual mode is best established with an  
exposure meter. Observe the following rule of thumb if an exposure meter is not  
available:  
If the light from the secondary reflector is too bright, it can be diminished by  
attaching one of the two light reducing filters. They are at the back of the main  
reflector and their characteristics are as follows:

for the actual exposure.  
1 dark grey filter with the symbol -2“ reduces the amount of light to one quarter  
of the original brightness.

the slave units have been set up in such a manner that their visual signs are  
not visible to the user, then the Beep function can be activated so that an acou-

To ensure that two TTL remote systems in the same room do not interfere with  
each other, two different addresses can be selected on the controller. These are  
then automatically transferred to the slave units after a test flash.  
Checking the slave address:

The winder mode involves shooting a sequence of pictures at a rate of  
several frames per second. It is a manual mode with partial light output  
levels, and is only recommended with NiCad batteries or high-power alka-  
line manganese batteries. Table 5 of the Technical Data indicates which  
partial light output level is suited for a given frame frequency (frames per  
second = flashes per second).

(approx. 4 seconds).All slaves (40 MZ-1(i) and MZ-3(i) with SCA 3080 M-1 adap-

Using the winder in the manual mode  
In the manual mode, the exposures are made with a fixed partial light output level  
selected in conformity with the winder data given in Table 5 of the Technical Data.  
Using the winder in auto and TTL modes  
In these modes it is possible to ensure that a flash will be fired with each exposure  
of a series of pictures. For this purpose a partial light output level can be adjusted in  
conformity with the winder data (Table 5).  
Shots that require less light are automatically controlled by the auto-  
matic or TTL light output system and are, therefore, correctly exposed.  
Shots that require more light than the adjusted partial light output  
level may be underexposed!

Some situations make it necessary to reduce the amount of light emitted by the

4 Use the + or - button to continuously change the flashgun’s aperture until

on the camera.  
The partial light output levels are adjustable within very close increments. The  
distance value of the flashgun can therefore be easily matched to the subject  
distance if a specific aperture has to be retained. Thus, professional flash photo-  
graphy is made possible in a very simple manner to deal with difficult situations  
(great differences in contrast, extreme level of reflection) when the automatic  
system would not produce optimal results.  
If an SCA 3000 adapter is used, some cameras automatically transmit  
the f-number. Should this be the case, the aperture on the camera  
must be changed until the required f-number appears on the LC  
display of the flashgun.

10. Stroboscopic mode  
Flash durations  
The adjustable partial light output levels result in different flash durations (see  
Technical Data,Table 1).The specified flash durations apply only to single flashes  
in manual mode. With serial flashes (winder or stroboscopic mode) the last  
flashes may have a longer duration. Flash duration in the auto and TTL modes  
can also be shorter when the automatic exposure control switches off the flash at  
an earlier moment.  
Macrophotography (close-ups)  
Fig. 20: Stroboscopic mode  
Parallax error can be compensated by tilting the main reflector downwards by  
-5° or -13°. For this purpose pull the reflector completely out, and then tilt it  
down.  
In this mode several flash exposures are made on the same frame. This is  
particularly interesting for motion studies and for special effects (Fig. 20).  
Ǻ
With close-up photography it is important to ensure that a certain minimum  
lighting distance is maintained to avoid overexposure.  
In stroboscopic mode, several flashes are fired at a certain flash frequency.  
Consequently, this function is only possible with a partial light output level of 1  
max. or less.  
/
4
For exposures with extremely short flash-to-subject distances, we advise you to  
use small partial light output levels in manual mode, as described on page 32.  
For a stroboscopic exposure it is possible to select a flash frequency of 1...30 Hz  
in 1 Hz increments, and a number of flashes of 2...20 in single increments.  
The maximum possible partial light output level in stroboscopic mode is auto-  
matically adjusted (see Technical Data, Table 5). The partial light output level can  
be adjusted manually to the minimal value of 1/256 to achieve short flash durations.  
The LC display indicates the distance applicable to the adjusted parameters. The  
displayed distance value can be adjusted to the actual shooting distance by vary-  
ing the f-stop or the partial light output level. The aperture adjusted on the flash-  
gun must be transferred to the camera. The distance range can be increased by  
loading a high-speed film.  
Use of the stroboscopic mode is not possible when the secondary  
reflector is switched on.

11. Fill-in flash in daylight  
When shooting into the light ensure that the backlight does not shine  
directly onto the sensor as this will confuse the flashgun’s electronics.  
Fill-in flash in manual mode  
The partial light output levels can be used in manual flash mode to achieve the  
desired brightening effect of fill-in flash.  
Complete illumination of shadow areas  
Use the camera, or a hand-held exposure meter, to establish the required apertu-  
re and adjust this value on both the camera and flashgun. The aperture adjusted  
on the camera is automatically transferred to the flashgun when an SCA 3000  
adapter is used in conjunction with a data compatible camera.The given range of  
the flashgun is indicated on the LC display. If the distance to the subject is  
shorter than the indicated flash range, then select a partial light output level to  
match the distance. For this purpose continue pressing the P button and the -“  
button until the flash range and subject distance coincide.  
Fig. 22: Fill-in flash in daylight  
The mecablitz can also be used for fill-in flash in daylight to soften harsh shadows  
and lower the contrast, thereby producing a more balanced exposure when  
shooting against the light. Various possibilities are open to the user for fill-in flash.  
Fill-in flash in auto mode  
Use the camera, or a hand-held exposure meter, to establish the required aperture  
and shutter speed for a normal exposure. Ensure that the shutter speed either equals,  
or is slower than, the fastest flash synch speed (varies with different camera models).  
Graduated brightening effect  
Use the camera, or a hand-held exposure meter, to establish the required aperture  
and adjust this value on both the camera and flashgun. The aperture adjusted on  
the camera is automatically transferred to the flashgun when an SCA 3000 adap-  
ter is used in conjunction with a data compatible camera. To diminish the brigh-  
tening effect compared with complete illumination, adjust the partial light output  
levels in such a manner that the setting is advanced by 1/3 f-stop with each  
depression of the button.  
Example:  
Established aperture = f/8; established shutter speed = 1/60th sec.  
Flash synch speed of the camera e.g. 1/100th sec. (see operating instructions for  
the given camera).  
The two established values for aperture and shutter speed can be set on the  
camera because the camera’s shutter speed is slower than the camera’s flash  
synch speed.  
To maintain a balanced range of highlights, for instance in order to retain the  
character of the shadows, it is advisable to select the automatic aperture on  
the flashgun one setting lower than the aperture adjusted on the camera. In  
our example f/8 was set on the camera. Consequently, we advise you to adjust  
f/5.6 as the aperture setting on the flashgun.

Fill-in flash in TTL mode  
Some camera models automatically control fill-in flash when in program or  
automatic mode. The manner of camera internal fill-in flash control varies  
greatly between the different modern camera models, making it impossible to  
give a precise description of the individual adjusting procedures. These are  
normally given in the operating instructions for the given camera. Shadows  
can also be brightened with a flashgun in TTL mode on cameras that do not  
feature a special fill-in program or setting. In such cases the effect of fill-in  
flash depends upon the properties of the camera’s TTL metering system. Con-  
sequently, in many instances it will be advisable to use fill-in flash in automatic  
mode.

Program 0 (Prog.0) is loaded when the flashgun is operated for the first time.The  
home program place 0 covers the standard operating range of the flashgun.  
The data that were active just before the flashgun was switched off are stored in

Pull-out/push-in wide-angle diffuser  
Pull out the wide-angle diffuser  
under the main reflector, all the way to the

zoom position 20 mm. The wide-angle diffuser automatically folds up, and the  
distances and zoom value on the LC display are modified accordingly.  
To push in the wide-angle diffuser, press on the left and right-hand guide rails of  
the black guide plate. The wide-angle diffuser will fold down and can then be  
pushed in completely.  
Fig. 26: Exposure o.k.  
The correct exposure indicator (o.k.) lights up only when the frame will be,  
or was, correctly exposed in the auto and TTL mode.  
In this manner it is possible to manually trigger a test flash while in auto mode so  
that the correct aperture can be established beforehand. This is particularly  
valuable with bounced flash when reflection conditions are difficult to judge.  
1The test flash is triggered with the manual firing button (fig. 26).  
If the exposure o.k. indicator remains dark after the test flash was fired, then  
adjust the next larger aperture (smaller f-number) or diminish the distance to the  
reflection surface or subject, and repeat the test flash.  
The f-stop established in this manner must also be set on the camera.  
To trigger a test flash, hold the camera and flashgun in the same  
manner as for the actual shot.  
This facility can also be used with TTL mode without having to produce test expo-  
sures. The flashgun is adjusted to auto mode, and the correct aperture is then  
determined with a test flash in the previously described manner. The established  
aperture is transferred to the camera, and the flashgun is then readjusted to TTL  
mode.  
This procedure is relatively accurate with lenses of medium focal length of between  
28 mm and 85 mm. But in borderline cases underexposure may occur with  
subsequent TTL exposure.

In such an event the exposure o.k. display remains dark after the shutter has  
been released. Select the next larger f-stop (e.g. f/8 instead of f/11), and repeat  
the exposure.  
This mode is not suitable with battery operation.  
AF measuring beam  
As the release or other sensory control of the camera is operated, the integrated  
AF measuring beam is automatically activated in the event of low lighting  
levels or with a low-contrast subject. The measuring beams project a light  
pattern onto the subject (Fig. 27). The camera’s autofocus system uses the light  
reflected from the subject to measure image sharpness and focus the lens. The  
range of the AF measuring beam is approx. 9 m with a 50 mm f/1.7 lens.  
This function is only available with specific AF cameras in conjunction  
with an SCA 3000 adapter.

If you switch the flashgun on with the controls locked, the operating mode indi-

Always carry out these two steps, since incorrect exposures may  
otherwise result (depending on the operating mode).

Recycling times in the A and TTL modes depend on the amount of light required

Use of the Rapid function is especially valuable when taking shots inside a room,  
where fast recycling is more important than a maximum light output. However,

To compensate the above described effect, exposure can be corrected by opening  
or stopping down the camera’s aperture. If the background is mainly bright, the  
flashgun’s sensor will cut off the flash too soon with the result that the  
subject will be underexposed.With a dark background the flash is cut off too late so  
that the subject looks too light.

Exposure corrections in TTL mode  
Many cameras have an adjusting facility for exposure correction which can also  
be used in TTL flash mode.  
5
Note: Please observe the corresponding explanations in the Operating  
Instructions for the camera or SCA adapter.  
Here, exposure correction by changing the aperture on the lens is not possible.  
This is because the camera’s automatic exposure system will regard the changed  
f-stop as a normal working aperture.

No display in "ON" switch position.  
Battery warning indicator  
A flashing battery warning display indicates  
that the batteries are exhausted*.  
Brief movement of the "ON" switch in the direction of "OFF" without overcoming  
the click stop enables the unit to change over to stand-by mode (display off) even  
though the switch is still in "ON" position.  
Remedy: Should the battery warning indicator  
continue to flash even after the batte-  
ries have been exchanged, then  
Remedy: The unit is switched on again by normal actuation of the switch to the  
OFF setting, followed by "ON", or simply by pressing the "PLUS" key.  
switch off the flashgun with the main switch . Open the battery com-  
partment cover and remove the batteries. Switch on the flashgun by its

Meaningless information  
Should the LC display indicate meaningless information or should the flashgun  
not work properly in the individual modes, then proceed as follows:  
Switch off the flashgun by its main switch.  
Remove the batteries.  
Switch on the flashgun for approximately 1 second and then switch it off again.  
Reload the used or new batteries.  
Lithium batteries feature an overload protection which prevents them  
from becoming overheated. The overload circuit responds to extreme  
loads (numerous flashes within a short period). In such an event the  
recycling time is considerably lengthened. Switch off the flashgun  
and allow the batteries to cool down.  
A flashing battery warning signal with only moderately warm lithium batteries  
indicates that the batteries have become exhausted.
