14.4.2 Set up the Remote Qflash Groups

Any number of Remote Qflashes may be used. Set each the Mode of each Remote to either Wireless Group R1 or R2, or Linked to Local, using the Mode I and Up J/Down L controls on each Remote Qflash.

The displays on the Remote Qflashes will update when the word SEND appears on the Local Qflash.

14.4.3 Wireless Control Mode – Important Notes

•Qflash cannot fire while sending data to wireless Remotes, or when the display is blinking. To speed up data transmission, press Set G on the Control Qflash until SEND appears in the display to make Qflashes ready.

•When using a QTTL adapter, the camera settings for f/# and ISO will appear on the Control Qflash display. Generally, to update the camera settings, press the camera shutter 1/2 way (to wake up the camera or metering function). The Qflash display will then update to the current camera settings. (On some cameras updating takes place automatically).
