If E-TTL is still not shown on the display: First
set the flash mode TTL using the UP

button. The display
switches back to the normal setting. If the
"Return"
button is not pressed, the display
switches back to the normal setting after about

3.3 HSS short-term synchronisation
With HSS short-term synchronisation, it is also
possible to operate the flash using shorter flash
synchronisation time shutter speeds.
Certain makes of camera (see operating instruc-
tion), mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital and 54 MZ-... sup-
port short-term synchronisation in E-TTL and
manual flash modes.
In some systems, short-term synchronisation
can in some cases reduce the flash factor and
as a result the range of the flash to a signifi-
cant extent. In addition, the flash factor also
depends on the camera shutter speed! When
set to HSS short-term synchronisation mode,
no filter attachments (diffusers, bouncers,
grey-scale or colour filters) should be placed in
front of the reflector with the mecablitz 54 MZ!
In HSS short-term synchronisation, flash ope-
ration is not possible with a second reflector!
Adjustment procedure
• Switch on flash and camera.
• Lightly touch the shutter release to trigger the
exchange of data between the flash and the
