How to set up or change a Program

QFT5D INSTRUCTIONS 10/5/06 10:27 AM Page 25

Your Qflash is factory preset with several Programs (which you are free to change). To view them, press Mode I, then Up J/Down L until you see the Program mode displayed, like above. After the “P” stops blinking, press the Up J/Down L buttons to switch to the next higher, or lower program number. (Programs which have not been preset are considered “clear” and will be skipped).

While in the Program mode, press the Set G button. The program number will blink, and the Up J/Down L buttons will select the program number you wish to set or change. All program numbers will be displayed this way, even those that are “clear”.

Press Set G again (or press it twice if the Program number stopped blink- ing). The mode (Manual, Auto, TTL, etc.) will be blinking. Up J/Down L to select your flash mode for this program.

Once your flash mode is selected keep pressing Set G to choose param- eters to program. To change any settings use the same procedures used for Manual, Auto, TTL, or Wireless/Wired modes.

There are times when you will want to “clear” a Program from memory. Clearing unwanted programs allows for quicker switching between stored programs during actual shoots. For example, if you need just 3 Programs for a job, and you clear out the other 5 Program numbers, you will cycle through just the 3 Programs you want for a shoot, using the Up J/Down L buttons.

To clear out a Program

Start in the Program number you wish to clear. Press Set G until the ‘mode’ blinks in the display. Press Up J/Down L until the word CLEAR appears. After several seconds the display will stop blinking and the program will be cleared from memory. Note: You can never clear out Program 1.
