Markus, I can send you off-line a copy (German/ English) of the manual of the SCA 300 system if you need this but I don't have one dealing specifically with the 374/2 adapter. I used to have a 374/2 adapter and (if I recall correctly) SB was spotbeam (i.e. to use the red sensor light for AF measurement but the flash not triggered by the camera). The middle position was for first curtain synchronisation (which is standard) and the right position for second curtain (for moving subjects). To replace the batteries you have to switch a plate horizontally. I remember this moved very stiff with a heavy spring to the batteries. I found the red sensor light of the 374/2 not always working well and changed to a 3701 in combination with the 32MZ-3.

The adapter seems to need four batteries but I am simple too stupid to find out how to open that battery case "thing" without using force. Can anybody help me by showing how to place batteries into (open) this adapter and maybe explain the switch "S.B" too? What's the "default" or "best" setting. I think Jens has one of these adapters, do you hear me Jens ? thanks in advance Markus
