Remember the Essentials
Batteries are required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase batteries for this item.
The Metz 45-CL4 Digital Flash is a heavy-duty handle mount flash that supports even the advanced TTL systems used with Digital SLR cameras: E-TTL II flash mode from Canon, i-TTL/i-TTL-BL and D-TTL from Nikon or ADI flash control from Sony/Minolta.
The 45 series is the smallest amongst Metz handle-mount flashes that provide TTL capability. In conjunction with the SCA-3045 connection cable and a dedicated SCA 3002 system module, this flash will fully support all advanced functions of the camera and/or flash (where supported by the camera).
This kit is the "basic" version, with just a AA battery holder and simple PC cord included. These are enough for the photographer who likes to keep things simple, and who likes to shoot in manual mode.
Lots of features are packed into a compact flash for its class, such as an auxiliary fill-flash light, bounce and swivel capacity, wide-angle diffuser and more.
Note! Requires camera-dedicated module and SCA-3045 connection cable
- TTL compatible with most digital and film SLR cameras
- Manual flash mode with 5 partial lighting levels
- Secondary flash (with 3 lighting levels) helps to fill-in shadows in close-up areas that are created when using an indirect flash

Comments about Metz mecablitz 45CL-4 Digital TTL Handle Mount Flash (Basic Kit):
I have used Metz Flashes for years, there is nothing on the market that compares to the Metz hammerhead flash. They last forever, run a long time on 6 rechargeable batteries or portable battery pack if you are working off a tri-pod.
I use this as mainly a fill flash and can light the background around my subject. There is no other flash I would use and no other flash I would buy. You get what you pay for and this is the case with Metz
