metz flash question

Hi, thanks for that advice, I didn't even think of the Metz website! I found this on the website.....just a couple of questions to clarify.....
Many Thanks
"The successor to the mecablitz 58 AF-1 which won the EISA Award for "best flash unit in Europe 2007/2008" has been equipped with a new stable metal base which can be attached to the camera flash shoe quickly and easily with one single movement thanks to the optimised lock system. Refinements such as the revised motor zoom mode and an improved high performance flash tube further increase the longevity of the product. Its multi-functionality has been extended with additional features. Thus the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital offers servo flash release functionality via the integrated camera flash which is also perfectly compatible with cameras without master function. The slave/servo sensor has been integrated into the front of the flash unit to increase the transmission quality of wireless flashes. The wide-angle diffuser has also been adapted for illumination of wide-angle focal widths from 12 mm (135 format)."
- What does 'revised motor zoom' mean?
- What is 'flash servo release?'
Many Thanks

I think the 'motor zoom' is the mode whereby the focal length of the flash tracks that of the lens, so the the subject is correctly lit. It obviously depends on a number of factors one of which is compatibility between lens, flash gun and camera.
The other question, I'm not sure about, but might be related to off camera flash, triggered ('servoed') by external means. This might be a load of rubbish, of course; hope somebody who knows will correct it if I'm wrong!
