As a wireless macro flash, the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital has two individually adjustable reflectors. As a result this new ring-shaped macro flash ensures even, precise lighting On the other hand it also enriches creative lighting configuration in the macro range. There are no limits to personal creativity thanks to the individually adjustable reflectors (0°- 20°) and the associated finely calibrated light-distribution. In this way it is particularly easy to create effective highlights with any subject. This is all achieved with maximum ease because the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital automatically adjusts its light output by means of wireless TTL*, making it particularly reliable and precise. There is also a clear, dot-matrix display, which makes the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital even easier to use. If you are looking for even greater scope for creativity, you can use the manual control facility of the new mecablitz 15 MS-1. This enables you to vary the amount of light given off, with six levels of light output. Space-saving, built-in batteries / rechargeables provide an efficient source of power. The Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is suitable for all camera manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung and Sony-Alpha) – even if the camera does not have a built-in flash, because the manual flash mode can also be used by means of the sync cable.
