12.7 Flash bracketing “Fb” (Fig. 13)
A series of flash exposures known as flash bracketing / flash exposure
bracketing can be made with the mecablitz 54 MZ-.. in the TTL and A modes.
A flash bracketing series consists of three successive flash shots with different
flash exposure correction values. The first shot in the series is taken without a
correction value, the second one with a minus correction, and the third one
with a plus correction. The mode is automatically cancelled after the third
shot.
„Fb“ flash bracketing in TTL mode:
Flash bracketing in TTL mode is only possible if the mecablitz is fitted with a
suitable SCA adapter (SCA 3xx2) and if the camera supports manual flash
exposure with the mecablitz.
If the camera does not support manual flash exposure, a correction factor for
flash bracketing can be set on the mecablitz, but the camera will expose the
pictures without such correction. Please refer to the operating instructions for
the given camera and the SCA adapter!
„Fb“ flash bracketing in A mode:
For flash bracketing in A mode, it is sufficient if the mecablitz is equipped
with an SCA 301 standard foot. However, flash bracketing in A mode is also
possible with an SCA adapter!
With some cameras ”Fb” flash bracketing in A mode is not possible
for technical reasons!
With some cameras flash bracketing in the automatic mode is not possible if
the mecablitz is not equipped with an SCA 301 standard foot.
Please refer to the operating instructions for the given camera and SCA
adapter.

Activating “Fb” flash bracketing (Fig. 13):
1 Repeatedly depress the Select button
ብ (Fig. 1)
until „Fb“ appears on the
display.
2 Turn the setting disk
ቦ (Fig. 1)
to select the required correction factor for
flash bracketing. „EV“ and the selected correction factor will then flash on
the display. Press the setting disk in the direction of the arrow for storage.
The setting will be automatically stored after approx. 5 seconds if the setting
disk is not pressed.
„Fb 1“ appears on the display of the mecablitz to indicate the first shot within
the flash exposure series. This picture is shot without any correction factor.
When the first shot has been taken, the display changes to „Fb 2“. In addi-
tion, „EV“ and the minus correction factor for the second picture are indi-
cated.
After the second shot, the display changes to „Fb 3“ and additionally indi-
cates ”EV” and the plus correction factor for the third exposure.
„Fb“, „EV“ and the correction value are all cancelled after the third shot.
The activating procedure must be repeated for a new flash bracketing
sequence.
To abort flash bracketing simply switch off the mecablitz briefly with the main switch.
12.8 Re-establishing the basic setting
Keep the Mode button ቢ (Fig. 1) depressed for at least 3 seconds to return
the mecablitz to the basic setting. The adjusted operating mode is retained.
The following settings are cancelled:
• The TTL sub-modes „HSS“,, „ETTL“, „3D“ and the Remote modes
• The manual sub-mode „HSS“
• The manually entered partial light output levels
• Flash bracketing „Fb“
• Focal length adaptations „E“, „APS“, „F1“ and „F2“
• Second-curtain synchronisation (REAR)
