Warning! Please observe the instructions in Sections 2 and 3 for the combination of the different camera and flash modes. For system induced reasons, TTL flash mode with the mecablitz 60 CT-4 is not pos- sible on account of the metering pre-flash techno- logy of Olympus digital cameras! Some cameras support the automatic flash mode A and the manual flash mode M only in the Manual M camera mode! With some types of flash units there are limits with regard to TTL flash mode in relation to the g

1. General description The SCA 3202 adapter makes it possible to op- erate Olympus digital cameras with an external flash unit (see Tables 1 and 2). The flash unit can be operated by one of two modes: Dedicated flash mode The flash unit with SCA adapter and an Olympus digital camera is operated by way of digital data exchange. Digital data exchange between camera and flash unit is either via the system flash shoe with special contacts (e.g. with E-1, E-10, E-20, E–300, E-330, E-500, C–5060WZ,

slave mode of the SCA adapter (switch in SL position) always operates with metering pre- flash suppression, the camera’s “SLAVE” mode must NOT be activated! To work in the “SLAVE” camera setting the slave flash unit must be equipped with the SCA 301 standard foot. Additionally use the mecalux 11 (optional accessory) as a slave triggering unit for the flashgun. 1.1 View of the SCA adapter Sensor The switches and the display are located behind a flap on the back of the adapter. This flap can b

on the camera’s flash shoe: • Screw the knurled nut of the adapter as far as possible towards the head of the adapter case. The locking pin in the adapter shoe is now fully retracted into the case. • Slide the adapter into the camera’s flash shoe. • Screw the adapter’s knurled nut as far as possi- ble towards the camera case to clamp the adap- ter in position. Some cameras (e.g. C-3000Z, C-3030Z, C–3040Z, C-4040Z) have a 5-pin system flash socket instead of the flash shoe. On such cameras, t

2.2 Shutter priority S In the camera mode „S“ any shutter speed can be set on the camera. The camera will then automati- cally select an aperture to match the ambient light conditions. 2.3 Aperture priority A In the camera mode „A“ an aperture can be pre- selected on the camera. The camera will then au- tomatically adjust a shutter speed that matches the ambient light conditions. When selecting the aperture ensure that the sub- ject is within the working range of the flash unit (see aperture cal

In order to control the intensity of the main flash the camera’s electronic system establishes the required guide number or necessary partial light ouput by evaluating the metering preflashes. In TTL flash control any lens attachments or filters are taken into account during exposure. The TTL flash mode is supported by all camera modes such as program P, A, S, and M. The TTL flash mode is set on the flash unit (see the individual operating instructions). The TTL flash mode of Olympus digital c

E-1, E-300, E-330, E-500, with 40 MZ-... and 45 CL-4 is not possible! Note for Group B: For system reasons the flash units 40 MZ-..., 45 CL-4 and 50 MZ-5 support the special pre-flash technology of the above cameras only to a limited extent. In some exceptional situations, therefore, manual TTL flash expo- sure corrections (camera setting) may be necessary. Consequently, the TTL flash mode with the above camera/flash combinations is only conditionally recommended. The display of the SCA adap

Manual TTL flash exposure correction (Flash-Override) There are certain photographic situations where the camera’s internal sensor can be deceived. This is particularly the case with a dark subject in front of a bright background (the subject will be under- exposed) or a bright subject in front of a dark background (the subject will be overexposed). To overcome this problem in such a photographic situation and still achieve a correct exposure, some cameras permit the flash intensity to be infl

For more details please refer to the instruction manual of your flash unit. 3.3 Manual flash mode M The flash light is not controlled by a sensor when in manual flash mode “M”. Instead, the full or par- tial light output of the flash unit is used. The manual flash mode M is set on the flash unit (see operating instructions for the flash unit). The Winder W and Stroboscopic modes are manual flash modes. The cameras E-10, E-20P and E-20N do not support the manual flash mode M in the ca- mera m

is indicated on the flash unit’s LC display, and the aperture and partial light output setting is adapted accordingly. When in camera mode “M”, a shutter speed has to be additionally set that is either the same or slow- er than the camera’s flash sync speed (see came- ra manual). Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake when using slow shutter speeds. 4.

On some types of cameras there is no flash rea- diness indicated. Should this be the case, then please observe the flash readiness information given on the flash unit! 4.3 Automatic flash sync speed control Depending on the camera type and camera mode, the shutter speed changes to flash sync speed when the flash unit is switched on or when flash readiness is established (e.g. Olympus E-1, E-300, E-330, E-500; see camera manual). Shutter speeds faster than the flash sync speed cannot be set or wi
