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 Dîmage. 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).
