Auto Fill


Light output is controlled by the sensor located on the front of the flash.

When the Trio is placed on a camera F number and ISO information are
sent to the flash from the camera. As the F number and ISO are
changed on the camera the flash will display them.

Use this mode if you want Trio’s sensor to control the exposure, but F
number and ISO on Trio to track the camera settings. A Sensor Limit
feature can be used in situations with no background, like an open field.
See sections 11.5 and 11.6.

Radio: Can be set to send a SYNC signal to fire remote flashes.

Or it can be set to send a LINK signal to fire and control

the exposure of remote Qflashes. Remote flash must be in

When used off camera the radio can be set to receive (RX) a
sync signal from an on-camera flash or an on-camera
FreeXWire.

Exposure easily checked with flash meter. Remote Qflash can be
adjusted from –3 stops below to +2 stops above camera settings.

: Requires some knowledge of how auto flash exposure works.
