The new mecablitz 24 AF-1 digital is perfect when you're on the go. Thanks to the compact, slim-line and lightweight design it can be stashed easily in a jacket pocket and is at hand just when you need it. Currently the smallest Metz system flash unit with GN 24 for ISO 100/21° and 35 mm focal length, it is particularly suited to flash novices who are looking for better illumination in their photos than is possible with an integrated camera flash. Thanks to intelligent TTL camera control the mecablitz 24 AF-1 digital even makes automatic fill-in flash possible. Additional illumination levels are also possible thanks to the 90° adjustable swivel reflector. Flash readiness and exposure levels are displayed on the back of the unit by two LED indicators.
