Something many digital camera owners have been crying out for has been answered by Metz in their new external flash unit. The mecablitz 34 CS-2 external flash can operate by hotshoe connection or as a 'slave flash' (firing when it detects the firing of a camera flash), it can now be programmed to ignore the pre-flash sometimes used by digital cameras to meter a scene.
