Metz 54 AF-1 Digital Shoe Mount Flash  

mecablitz 54 AF-1 digital

Metz mecablitz 54 AF-1 digital for Canon, Konica Minolta, Nikon Maximum power from a small unit One can hardly realize how much power is packed into this compact Metz 54 series flash unit. The flash was specifically developed for the current range of digital and analog cameras from leading manufacturers.

Three versions are available: Metz mecablitz54 AF- 1C digital compatible for the Canon EOS and the PowerShot series, Metz mecablitz54 AF-1M digital for Konica Minolta system cameras and Metz mecablitz 54 AF-1N digital compatible for Nikon digital cameras, including the D 70.

Completely up-to-date The Metz mecablitz 54 AF-1 digital represents the current state-of-the-art in flash technology. New internal precision metering methods ensure perfect flash exposures depending on the given model - from E-TTL for Canon, to D-TTL, 3D/D-TTL and i-TTL or i-TTL-BL for Nikon, to ADI flash exposure metering for Konica Minolta Dīmage. Moreover, simple operation heightens the fun in flash photography.

But the Metz mecablitz 54 AF-1 digital also stands for more sophisticated use of flash with short recycling times, modeling light, three partial light output levels and second curtain synchronization - indispensable for controlling light effects on moving objects.

Depending on the camera model, TTL exposure correction covers up to three apertures, both in the plus and minus ranges (in one-third increments).
