Item Description
The Metz mecablitz 50 AF-1 TTL Shoe Mount Flash for Canon DSLR is a Metz shoe
mount flash designed to be compatible with all digital Canon SLR cameras, both
current and future models. To better facilitate compatibility with current and
future cameras, this flash now features a built-in USB port that allows for
future firmware updates via the internet. A high quality metal base allows quick
and easy attachment to the camera.
The 50 AF-1 is designed to fully support a Canon digital SLR camera's TTL
system. Both E-TTL/E-TTL-II flash mode and E-TTL remote mode (slave and servo
mode) are possible. It can be operated as a TTL slave unit that can be
controlled by the camera's own built-in commander mode or as a manufacturer's
flash with master capabilities.
The flash also features an auto zoom head from 24-105mm that can be set to
match the camera's sensor, a full bounce and swivel head (with a fully swiveling
reflector system which also contains a flip-out reflector card and a diffuser),
a built-in wide angle diffuser for 12mm coverage, and in addition, full manual
control with 12 variable power output levels.
- Fully compatible with current and future digital Canon cameras, updatable via
USB port
- High-speed flash synchronization allows flash to be used with any shutter
speed (only with appropriate camera bodies)
- Wireless full TTL triggering via a camera or flash with commander/master mode
- Autozooming head can cover from 24 to 105mm, and 18mm when used with the
included wide-angle diffuser
