How often have you been disappointed about dark photos merely because the flash integrated in your camera was not powerful enough? And have you ever wanted a handy compact flash unit that can be used seperately from the camera? Metz offers the perfect solution with the mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital -- optimally adapted in performance and size to compact digital cameras. The 28 CS-2 digital is powered by standard AAA-size alkaline or rechargable batteries.

The fun factor is enhanced with the 28 CS-2's self-learning slave mode and ingenious EASY mode. Simply release the shutter, check the result on the camera's monitor, and correct with the instant correction keys (+/-) should this prove to be necessary.

Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 Flash Key Features

Interchangeable Telephoto Attachment (85mm) and Wide-Angle Attachment (24mm) Included

The included accessories provide the mecablitz 28 CS-2 with a zoom range of 24 - 85mm.

Self-Learning Slave Mode

This is unique: A flash unit that learns on its own! Thanks to its self-learning slave mode. the Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital flash unit can adapt itself optimally to the camera. This ensures that this compact slave flash unit can always be fired by the flash integrated in the camera, even if it operates with a metering pre-flash. This exemplary "co-operation" is achieved by test flash firing in slave mode. If the red indicator signal light (ok button) flashes then this means that the flash unit has learnt a "new light lesson". For all subsequent shots the Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital will automatically use this value.

Moreover, the delay period between the measuring pre-flash and the main flash can be manually set to any duration between 0 and 255 ms. With cameras that do not operate with a pre-flash function it is possible to use slave mode 1 with simultaneous triggering. And it is always possible to return to the initial settings with the help of a special reset function.

Built-in Bracket for Use With Cameras Without a Hot Shoe

The unit is designed to work just as readily with cameras that do not feature an integral hot shoe. The mecablitz 28 CS-2 has a built-in bracket that allows the unit to be attached to the side of the camera.

Convenient Instant Correction In Easy Mode

Operation of the Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital is unbelievably easy. The flash shot taken can be instantly adjusted with the plus/minus keys (+/-). Take a flash shot with your digital camera, check the result on the camera's monitor, and apply instant corrections with the plus/minus keys if the shot needs to be brighter or darker.
