5.2 Reflectors and Bare Bulb
Reflectors are secured by the locking
ring near the base of the reflector.
Rotate the ring in the directions
shown in the diagram to loosen or
tighten the reflectors.
When inserting a reflector, first slowly rotate
it until the notch in the reflector “drops” fully
into head of the Qflash. Then tighten the
locking ring. If you do not let the reflector drop
fully into the Qflash before locking it, the reflector
may become loose during use.
Note to previous Qflash T, T2 ,X or X2 owners: There is no longer a “Wide”
position for the reflectors. The only position is “Normal”. For wide angle
coverage, use the included flat diffusers, or
optional QF67A wide angle or Soft Box
QF68 diffusers.
5.3 Bounce and Swivel Head
The head position is locked and can
be changed with a single button (see
diagram). Press and hold this button, then
adjust the head to the desired position. Release
the button, and slightly move the head until it
“clicks” and locks the head into the vertical and
horizontal planes.
5. GETTING STARTED
5.1 Inserting the Flash Tube
Match the red dot on the base of the flash tube with the red dot in the sock-
et of Qflash. Push the flash tube in until it is seated snugly into the socket.
Excessive force is not required.
Replace the flash tube only with Quantum type QF30 or QF30uv for Qflash
model T5d / T5d-R. Qflash model X5d / X5d-R requires QF32 or QF32uv
flash tubes. Other flash tubes will not provide proper exposure, may not
work at all, or they may damage the Qflash.
