The Mecablitz 50 AF-1 digital has all the right technological features too, including numerous application possibilities and even higher performance levels (guide number 50). Equipped with a USB interface for online firmware updates, its innovative and future-proof credentials are proven.

It is available in five versions, each one perfectly tailored to a digital camera by one of the leading manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax or Sony Alpha) – all of which are rapid response due to their fully automatic flash modes. These permit precise light output tailored to each individual subject. Numerous manual fine tuning options extend your creative photographic freedom.

Mecablitz 50 AF-1 supports high sync speed in TTL and M modes. It allows high speed shutter at larger apertures. It is extremely useful for portraits under the sun.

Virtually limitless possibilities are opened up for creative lighting thanks to a fully swiveling reflector system which also contains a flip-out reflector card and a diffuser.

The slave function allows the 50 AF-1 digital to be used “without constraints”. In the respective camera-specific wireless TTL mode it can even be used as a slave device. With built-in camera flash, wireless applications are available in servo mode.
