The Metz 54MZ-4 is a shoe-mounted flash that presents itself as an alternative to many pro-grade flashes produced by the manufacturer of the camera you use. This flash offers simplified operation that often consists of a single button-press to achieve many functions. Intelligent engineering is evident everywhere, from the auxiliary flash with built-in neutral density filter to the redeye-reducing "Cobra" design of the flash head itself.

This model also supports TTL operation with Sony Alpha and Minolta digital SLR cameras.

Compatible with Metz Remote System (Requires SCA 3083)
The 54 MZ-4 becomes a master TTL flash by attaching a camera-specific TTL SCA system module and incorporating a slave flash (32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 40 MZ-1*, 40 MZ-3*, 44 MZ-2, 50 MZ*, 54 MZ*, 70 MZ* & 76 MZ*) with the SCA 3083 adapter attached to the slave.  The combo includes preflash metering systems for Sony/Minolta digital SLR cameras, and also works in non-TTL autoexposure mode for older or manual cameras.  Used with the SCA 3083, the 54 MZ-4 can be a general slave or a slave with digital preflash suppression.
Autozooming head can cover from 24 to 105mm, and 20mm when used with the included wideangle diffuser
Flash tilts downward to better illuminate closeup subjects
High-speed flash synchronization allows flash to be used with any shutter speed (only with appropriate camera bodies)
Wireless full TTL triggering
Evaluative preflash metering & Stroboscopic flash for previewing effect
