Tip:
If, for reasons of the film speed used, f/5.6 cannot be set on
the flash unit then proceed as follows:
Select an auto aperture of f/8 on the mecablitz and set a
shutter speed of 1/30th sec. and an aperture of f/11 on the
camera.
If f/4 were set as auto working aperture on the mecablitz,
then this would result in a shutter speed of 1/125th sec. at a
lens aperture of f/5.6. This would exceed the camera’s flash
sync speed of 1/100th sec. in our example.
Ensure that the source of backlight does not shine
directly into the sensor of the flash unit as this would
confuse the electronic system and falsify the reading.
