2. Mounting the adapter
Before mounting or dismounting the standard
foot 301 or SCA adapter, switch off the meca-
blitz by its main switch and switch off the
camera.
on the mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 40 MZ-... ,
50 MZ-5, 70 MZ-... and 76 MZ-5 digi:
• Turn the flash unit’s foot by 90° (not on the
50 MZ-5; 70 MZ-..., 76 MZ-5 digi).
• Press the retention catch against the casing,
simultaneously pushing the hitherto used stand-
ard foot or SCA adapter out of the guide.
Any cover plate that may still be in place (required
for the 301 standard foot or SCA 300 adapter)
should be gripped in the centre and withdrawn.
on the mecablitz 54 MZ-... :
• Open the battery compartment cover.
• Press the coloured unlatching button in the bat-
tery compartment, simultaneously pulling off the
standard foot or SCA adapter.
Any cover plate that may still be in place (required
for the 301 standard foot or SCA 300 adapter)
should be gripped in the centre and withdrawn.
on mecablitz 44 MZ-2:
• Press the locking lever in the middle of the
mecablitz back upwards, keep depressed (if an
SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system is
being used then the flap on the back of the
adapter must first be opened) and simulta-
neously withdraw the SCA adapter or 301 stan-
dard foot towards the rear.

on the camera:
• 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 in the case.
• Slide the adapter into the camera’s accessory
shoe.
• Screw the adapter’s knurled nut as far as possi-
ble towards the camera body to clamp the adap-
ter in position..
When using the camera with an external flash-
gun on the camera body, any camera-integrat-
ed fold-out flash must be completely folded
down.

3. Switch on and shoot
You no longer have to first study many pages of
lengthy operating instructions before taking perfect
flash shots with your mecablitz in combination with
the SCA 3302 adapter and a Minolta camera. The
following short description will quickly enable you
to shoot brilliant flash pictures with the utmost
convenience.
3.1 Programmed auto flash mode
In the Program “P” mode, some cameras mix the
ambient light with the flashlight and, depending on
the camera’s programming, determine whether the
flash is to be used as the main light source or for
fill-in purposes. The camera concerned automati-
cally adjusts a suitable shutter speed/aperture
combination and controls the flash in TTL mode
(also see Section 4.6).
3.1.1 Settings on the camera
Set your Minolta camera to Program “P” (see oper
ating instructions for the camera).
Some cameras permit various Subject Program
modes to be set, such as Portrait, Landscape,
Close-up, Action, Sports. Please refer to the
operatings instructions for the given camera.
3.1.2 Settings on the flash unit
Set the “TTL” or “EM” mode on your flash unit (EM
= Easy-Mode-TTL; only on 40 MZ-..., 50 MZ-5).
For digital cameras please additionally observe
the instructions in section 4.6.
☞

700 47 0113.A10 GB-I-E 20.02.2008 13:15 Uhr Seite 8
In most cases, use of the operating mode “P” or
the Subject Program modes of the camera in com-
bination with your mecablitz and the SCA 3302
adapter automatically provide optimal flash expo-
sure of the subject.
Once the above settings have been completed you
can instantly start shooting.
Advanced amateur and professional photogra-
phers are advised to study the complete
instructions of this SCA 3302 adapter in order
to be able to fully exploit the diverse capabili-
ties of the Metz mecablitz system in conjunc-
tion with the Minolta camera. But also “aver-
age users” should take the time for getting
acquainted with the versatile features and
functions offered by the adapter, mecablitz and
camera combination.
The function for activation of preflashes to
reduce the “red-eye effect” (if provided by the
camera) can only be performed by the flash
unit integrated in the camera. External flash
units are not supported by this function.
