Slave/Servo Flash Units
Servo mode (light controlled):
With the mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, you have a pure slave flash unit at your disposal that only flashes when you want it to – with any camera. This is made possible by its learning function, which recognizes the pre-flash of your camera and only responds to its main flash. With this model, the picture results can be controlled very easily via the plus/minus buttons.
Metz slave mode (wireless Metz remote system):
This clever Metz system facilitates targeted light control for two Metz flash units. Here, one is attached directly to the camera as a so-called master flash. In contrast, the other slave flash unit can be positioned anywhere in the room. For this type of slave mode, a current Metz SCA flash unit is equipped with an SCA slave adapter (SCA-3083) instead of the SCA camera adapter, which is used for a conventional flash. This slave adapter makes additional slave qualities possible. By using a mecalux 11 as a server flash trigger, a flash unit can also be activated. However, all settings must be made on the flash unit itself here.
Slave mode for the respective camera manufacture:
Another way of using slave mode is opened up by the two system flash units mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital and mecablitz 50 AF-1 digital. Both models are not directly assigned to the slave category, but they still can be used as intelligent slave variants as well. Here, they support the flash modes of the respective camera manufacturer. In addition, the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital has a master function that you can always use if the integrated flash of the camera doesn’t provide a master mode.
Slave/Servo mode at close range:
The Metz macro flash is fixed directly on the subject and creates precise yet creative lighting for close-ups. In addition to which the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital can also be used in its slave function for effectively brightening up dark areas of the picture.
