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).
How to set up or change a Program
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.
