Set the camera modes: Choose manual, aperture priority, or shutter pri- ority on your camera. Program mode may be selected, although the cam- era will make decisions that reduce your control.

14.2.1 Always set up the Remote Qflash(s) first

Connect a FreeXWire receiver to the remote Qflash(s). FreeXWire model FW7Q connects directly to Qflash; models FW8R or FW10w require an FW31 cable for connec- tion.

To set a Remote flash to the Local group: Press Mode I, then Up J/Down L until the display shows “Linked to Local”. This Remote Qflash exposure will be the same as the Local, on-camera Qflash.

To set a Remote flash to the Group R1 or Group R2: Press Mode I, then Up J/Down L until the dis- play shows “Wireless Group R1” or “Wireless Group R2”.

“QTTLwR” will appear on the

Remote display only when the Local Qflash is set up. If QTTLwR does not appear press Mode I on the Local Qflash 3 times to re-sync the Local Qflash with the Remotes. Also check that the FreeXWire units are con- nected properly and turned on.

Continue setting all the Remote Qflashes to one of the three Groups. There is no limit to the number of Qflashes in each Group.

14.2.2 A Local, on-camera flash is required

Press Mode I, then Up J/Down L until “QTTLwR” appears in the dis- play. You have the ability to turn Remote flash Group R1 or R2, ON / OFF, and the ability to set offset ratios for these groups. Note: “QTTLwR” will appear after the QTTL adapter has established communication with the camera. This occurs when the camera shutter is pressed 1/2 way.

Press the Set G button until ON/OFF next to flash Group R1, or R2, blinks. Use the Up J/Down L buttons to turn the flash Groups ON or OFF. Next, press the Set Gbutton until the offset amount blinks (0, -1, -13, etc.). Use the Up J/Down L buttons to select the desired setting.

The Local Group flash ratio can be set with the Fill dial on the QTTL Adapter. Use only series DwR QTTL Adapters. The amount of Fill offset shows on the Local Qflash display.
