13.4 Manual shooting made easy
Nothing can beat the combination of a flash meter and a
flash set manually. Automatic and TTL are a compromise
based on the need for speed. Setting the flash for a manual
power setting and taking an incident meter reading takes time
and resources the average photographer may not have. So
we use automatic flash exposure and know that in some
situations the sensor may be fooled.
The Trio allows for easy manual shooting without metering.
Below is an example of how this is accomplished.
In this example Qflash will produce an F8.0 at the subject (8 ft), and it Will be quickly
accomplished without metering.
The F number and Film speed will come from your camera, adjust the power setting until the
Qflash distance shown matches the subject distance as closely as possible.
14. RL Remote – linked to local Qflash Mode Operation
Light output of this flash will equal the light
output of the local, the local flash can be set to
any mode.
The Local flash maybe a Trio, a Qflash model
5d-R with a FW10w or FW9T. Or you may use
a QTTL adapter with an FW9T for wireless TTL
with no local flash.
Using the Radio
The internal radio will be turned on automatically, but you may still need to select the proper
channel to match the channel on the Remote flashes. See section 8.0 for setting the channel
and zones on the Trio.
The local flash may be a Trio in any mode, the radio of the local Trio must be set to LINK or
QTTL.
The local flash may also be a Qflash5d-R in any mode with an FW10w or FW9T. The TTL
feature / switch must be turned on, see your FW instructions for turning the TTL feature on.
Or the local flash may be a QTTL adapter with an FW9T.
