The flagship of the Metz compact flash series presents itself as simple to operate and loaded with special functions. Available with a standard foot or available as a set including the SCA 3002 adapter for Canon, Minolta, Nikon and Pentax AF cameras. Remarkable here is the successful integration of an effective high-speed synchronization into a flash unit with extensive special functions. This powerful flash unit distinguishes itself additionally with its distinctly simplified operating concept: just 2 function keys and 1 adjustment wheel provide for an optimum overview Guide number 54 for ISO 100/21° and 105 mm focal length Thanks to the high speed synchronisation (HSS) the flash can be used - depended on the type of camera - with shutter speeds even shorter than the camera synchronisation speed. This is important in order to fill in the shadowy portions of a portrait and to make the person stand out from an out of focus background. - Cobra-Design: reduces the red eye effect
- Zoom reflector - works in a remarkable 24 - 105 mm range (or 20 mm thanks to an integrated wide-angle reflector
- Secondary reflector for additional photo subject brightening by bounce flash.
- Reflector can be tilted and swivelled in a horizontal and vertical direction. + can be folded-up completely to fit flat in every pocket.
