2. General description
This SCA 3602 adapter permits Sony digital came-
ras to be used in conjunction with an additional
external flash unit (mecablitz). The adapter is not
suitable for cameras made by other manufactu-
rers.
Sony digital cameras transmit data, such as f-stop,
CCD sensitivity (ISO), etc. to the mecablitz. Depen-
ding on the type of camera used, the selected ope-
rating mode and the mecablitz model, the flash
light can be controlled in the TTL flash control, the
auto flash mode A or the manual flash mode M.
Simultaneous use of the camera’s built-in
flash in combination with an external flash unit
is not possible for system induced reasons.
When taking flash shots make sure to observe
the instructions given in the camera manual.

Attention:
Dedicated functions can only be performed if both the
camera and the mecablitz support the function concerned.

Indicator :
Indicates the operating mode (also see section 3.3).
The switches and the indicator are concealed
behind a cover at the rear of the adapter. To
open use a fingernail.
2.2 Mounting the adapter

Mounting on the mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3,
40 MZ-... , 50 MZ-5, 70 MZ-... :
Turn the flash unit’s foot by 90° (not on the
50 MZ-5 / 70 MZ-...).
Press the retention catch against the casing,
simultaneously pushing the hitherto used standard
foot or SCA adapter out of the guide.
Any cover plate that may be still in place (required
for the 301 standard foot or SCA 300 adapter)
should be gripped in the centre and withdrawn.
Mounting on the mecablitz 54 MZ -... :
Open the battery compartment cover.
Press the coloured unlatching button in the battery
compartment, simultaneously pulling off the stan-
dard foot or SCA adapter.
Any cover plate that may be still in place (required
for the 301 standard foot or SCA 300 adapter)
should be gripped in the centre and withdrawn.
Mounting on the mecablitz 44 MZ-2:
• Use your fingernail to press up the locking lever
in the middle of the mecablitz side and hold it
depressed (when using an SCA 3002 adapter you
must first open the flap on the rear of the adap-
ter) and ...
• at the same time, withdraw the SCA adapter or
standard foot backward.
Mounting on the camera:
Screw the knurled nut of the adapter as far as pos-
sible towards the head of the adapter case. Slide
the adapter into the camera’s accessory shoe.
Screw the knurled nut of the adapter as far as pos-

705 47 0025.A2-GB,I,E 13.11.2006 9:50 Uhr Seite 7
sible towards the camera body to clamp the adap-
ter in position.
2.3 Connecting the mecablitz to the camera
The mecablitz and the camera must be swit-
ched off before connecting or disconnecting
the mecablitz or SCA adapter to/from the
camera (e.g. when inserting or pulling out the
adapter plug).
The mecablitz is mounted on the camera’s acces-
sory shoe together with the SCA adapter. Push the
plug of the adapter’s connecting cable completely
into the „ACC“ accessory socket provided on the
camera.
Supplement to safety notes for SCA 3602
Sony DSC-F707, -F717, -F828:
If a heavy flash unit is mounted on the came-
ra’s accessory shoe, the camera must be held
by the lens - risk of tilting !
3. Operating modes
3.1 Flash modes of the mecablitz
For operation of the mecablitz 45 CL-4 and 60
CT-4, the SCA 3000C converter cable (available
as an optional extra) is additionally required.
When using the mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 45
CL-4 and 60 CT-4, a fixed CCD sensitivity (ISO)
must be selected on the camera. Avoid using
the AUTO setting.
3.1.1 Auto flash mode A
The sensor integrated into the mecablitz controls
the output of light.
Switch the mecablitz to auto flash mode A. Set

switch on the SCA adapter to the left NORM
position. The indicator on the SCA adapter is
illuminated in green.
The indicator flashes in green to warn you
if the operating mode „TTL“ is set on the
mecablitz. In such an instance an uncontrolled
full-output flash would be fired when the pic-
ture is shot.
In the auto mode “A”, the RED-EYE REDUC-
TION preflash function is supported by the
flash units 44 MZ-2, 54 MZ-... and 70 MZ-... .
mecablitz 40 MZ-..., 44 MZ-2, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-...,
70 MZ-... :
You can select „Program AE Mode“, „SCN“, „A“,
„S“ or „M“ on the camera. Auto aperture and ISO
sensitivity of the mecablitz are automatically adap-
ted to the camera settings.
mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 45 CL-4, 60 CT-4:
You can select the operating mode „A“ or „M“ on
the camera. On the mecablitz, the ISO value must
be adjusted by hand to the CCD sensitivity set on
the camera. Manually select an auto aperture on
the mecablitz to match the existing shooting situa-
tion. This aperture must also be set on the camera
by hand.
Take into account the maximum flash range indica-
ted on the aperture calculator of the mecablitz!
3.1.2 TTL flash control
The cameras DSC-V1, DSC-V3 and DSC-F828 sup-
port the TTL flash control when used in conjunction
with the flash units mecablitz 32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3,
40 MZ..., 44 MZ-2, 45 CL-4, 50 MZ-5, 54 MZ...

and 70 MZ-... TTL flash control is an automatic
flash mode where flash exposure is measured by a
sensor built into the camera. In principle, the TTL
flash mode with a Sony digital camera is a partial-
light-output related GN mode with preflash mete-
ring, where one or more pre-flashes are fired a
fraction of a second before the picture is shot. The
TTL flash control is supported by all camera modes
(e.g. P, A, S, M).
The TTL flash mode of Sony digital cameras
must not be mistaken with the standard TTL
flash control of analog cameras! We therefore
recommend that the secondary reflector of
the flash unit (e.g. 45 CL-4, 50 MZ-5,
54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-5) is not activated. The
Metz Remote TTL Mode is not supported on
account of the pre-flash system.
Settings:
• Switch the flash unit to TTL mode (see operating
instructions for the given flash unit).
• Set the SELECT switch of the adapter in the
“B” position.
• Set the switch of the adapter in the “GN”
position.
The RED-EYE REDUCTION preflash function is
supported by the above flash units.
3.1.3 Manual flash mode M
The mecablitz always emits the same defined
amount of light. Depending on the mecablitz
model, full light output or partial light output levels
can be chosen. The Winder („W“) or Stroboscopic
Mode are partial light output levels.
