Presenting the new Metz mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital – stylish and technically state-of-the art. Equipped with a USB port for firmware updates via Internet, it has shown itself to be just as innovative as its big brother the 58 AF-1 digital, which has just been singled out as “Europe’s Flash Unit of the Year 2007/2008”. Perfectly matched to digital cameras from leading manufacturers in each case, it is available in five different versions (Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/Samsung or Sony Alpha) – each individual one is flash-ready, due to its fully automatic flash modes. They facilitate precision light output, tailor-made for each individual subject. Numerous manual intervention options complement the photographic creative flexibility. Supported by a fully swiveling reflector system, which also has an extendible reflector card and a diffuser, almost unlimited possibilities open up for creative directed lighting. Thanks to the slave function, the 48 AF-1 digital can even be used detached from the camera. In the respective camera-specific wireless TTL mode, it can thus be used as a slave unit. It is an outstanding flash unit for committed amateur photographers.
