Metz mecablitz 54 MZ-4: for the hard to please. The flagship of the Metz compact flash series presents itself as simple to operate and loaded with special functions. The 54 MZ-4 successfully integrates High Speed Synchronization into a flash unit with many other special functions and provides the D-TTL mode as well as the 3D multi-sensor fill-in flash in D-TTL mode.This powerful flash unit distinguishes itself additionally with its simple, elegant operating concept: just 2 function keys and 1 adjustment wheel provide for complete control
A special feature of the 54 MZ-4 is that the displayed focal length of the lens being used can be adjusted to match the format (35 mm, APS, Medium Format). Thanks to the high-speed synchronization "HSS" the flash can be used - where supported by the camera - with exposure times even shorter than the camera sync speed. This is useful, especially to fill in the shadows in portrait photography outdoors and to make the subject stand out from an out-of-focus background.
