pleeson Posted September 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2009 I've just used the built-in, bounce mode -- pretty amazing, actually, within it's range Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted September 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2009 unlike later Panasonic's, its a Leica hot shoe flash even for LC1 you can use a Metz if you are so inclined, pictured here with the MZ 54 and 22mm WA adapter on LC1 massive! Olympus flash also work but only in manual modes, its never damaged mine anyway pictured here with Olympus FL36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympus flash also work but only in manual modes, its never damaged mine anyway pictured here with Olympus FL36 Greeetings, Is the Metz 54-3 currently available? Is there a Leica adapter required to use it on the Digilux 2? How is the balance flash/camera? Not too top heavy? What flash modes can be used: A, TTL, M? How do you set the camera to use the Metz? Can one easily do balanced fill flash ie. outdoor fill flash? Kind Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards not sure about MZ54 availability yes it needs a Leica shoe for dedicated flash SCA 3205, then it picks up camera adjustments and works automatically its a bit top heavy, something the size of FL36 would be better you just turn it on and set the camera menu with the flash button yes, shoot manually set aperture for dof set shutter to expose outside view through the window go to the window and meter the scene first at the desired aperture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Metz flash can only be used in M mode, ie. not A or TTL with the Digilux2? Thanks for explaining how to set the camera up for daylight fill flash using the Metz/other external flash. I assume this is also true for the built in flash? ie. Shoot in M . Kind Regards Len Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Fokkema Posted September 28, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Metz 54 can be used in gnc mode. Which is some sort of TTL. It can of course also be used in A and M mode. For the details check the Metz website. Search for the flash and camera under the sca part.

Kind Regards Len no look, you asked a bunch of questions Len, you got a bunch of answers this Metz, with the SCA 3205 module will shoot TTL/Auto/Manual (so marked on the LCD) it will follow the zoom and aperture settings on the camera automatically you can adjust the flash either on the flash controls, or from the camera by menu TTL goes all the way to 1/2000th sec flash sync, so you have full control just the same as the built in, except muchomany times more powerful this would be true of any Metz, that takes the SCA 3502 dedicated module but you nee to factor the cost of the module into your plans I bought this one on ebay for around $60, I have Canon and Oly bodies, and modules for each of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
