Phase One 645DF+ features TTL (Through The Lens), OTF (Off The
Film) and electronic ash exposure metering. A ash sensor located
inside the camera body reads the ash light reected off the surface of
the CCD at the moment of exposure. The sensor is connected via the
Phase One 645DF+’s dedicated hot-shoe to a shoe or handle-mount
style Metz ash unit via the Metz SCA 3952 TTL Adapter. Maximum
ash speed is 1/125 sec. when the focal plane shutter is used, making
daytime synchronization possible.
The ISO of the ash is automatically set through the TTL connection
from the camera’s lm magazine; any adjustment to this is instantly
recognized after the setting is locked and the shutter release is half-
pressed.
To utilize the TTL ash feature with all TTL-operable Metz ash units, a
Metz SCA 3952 module is required. Please see the chart for capability
and/or additional adapters that may be necessary.
The resulting ash exposure automation determines correct ash
exposure and automatically adjusts the output of the ash. It also
automatically corrects for exposure compensation normally required
when using lters, close-up bellows or extension tubes.
1. Mount the SCA3952 adapter onto the Metz ash, insert fully into the
camera’s hot shoe, and then tighten with the locking knob[A].
2. Set the exposure mode, and then check the shutter speed and
aperture.
