14.3 Wireless Auto Fill

Wireless Auto Fill mode has several useful features. It can add light ratio capability to non-TTL cameras. With digital cameras Auto Fill mode can decrease the delay between shutter release and image capture, compared to the camera system’s TTL control. And, Auto Fill with Qflash sensor con- trol lets the photographer fine tune flash exposure for her/his particular needs without being locked into camera TTL exposure.

Set the camera modes: Manual, aperture priority, or shutter priority. Program mode may be selected, although the camera will make decisions that reduce your control of the shots.

14.3.1A local, on-camera flash is optional.

To change the linked value Press the Set G button once. Use the Up J/Down L buttons to select the desired option. To change the Fill value use the Fill dial located on top of the QTTL adapter.

14.3.2 Set up the Mode of the Remote Qflash(s)

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 connection.

To set a Remote flash to the Local group: Press Mode I, then “Linked to Local”. This Remote Qflash exposure will be the same as the Local, on-camera Qflash.

If you are not using a Local on- camera Qflash: Press Mode I, then Up J/Down L until the display shows “Wireless Auto Fill”.
