Metz 32 CT-7 small switch?

[russell_wheeldon2]

<p>I've just acquired a Metz 32 CT-7 flashgun and was wondering if someone might help me with a question:<br>

What is the very small white switch for that is in the SCA (hotshoe) receiver area? It has two positions: 0 and 10. I cant find the manual anywhere online.<br>

Many thanks.</p>

<p>Looks like on/off for the small flash head.<br>

<p>Thanks Pete, but not that switch. This one is inside the SCA receiving area itself, unlabelled except for its two positions, 0 and 10 and is very small.</p>

<p>Which SCA adapter is it? Maybe it will be easier to figure out if you post a picture of the switch?</p>

<p>I decided to ask Metz what it is and here is their reply:</p>

<p > </p>

<p >The mentioned flash unit mecablitz 32 CT-7 is additionally equipped with a power off function. If the flash unit isn't released the flash unit will be switched off after 10 minutes by this circuit. This saves the battery power. </p>

<p > </p>

<p >However, the afore-mentioned function can be switched off. For this the small white switch is destined. If the switch is set at "10" the power off function works. If the switch is set at "0" the power off function doesn’t work and the flash unit also works till the batteries are empty respectively the flash unit is switched off by the main switch.</p>

<p >So, many thanks Pete for your ideas and a big thanks to Roland Laemmermann at Metz for giving us the answer.<br /></p>
