Reminder: If the distance to the subject changes (you move in for a head
shot, or move out for a full length) you must change the flash distance
readout by changing the power setting.

10. AUTOMATIC MODE OPERATION

The preferred setup for Auto Mode is to connect Qflash to a camera
with a QTTL (D, Dw, or Dw-R series) Adapter. Then, the ISO and f/#
settings of the camera are set and displayed on the Qflash panel.
Qflash will display "Auto Fill" indicating that fill/flash ratio may be
set on the QTTL Adapter. The camera may be set to manual, shutter
or aperture priority, however light output is controlled by Qflash.
10.1 Automatic Mode with Sync only Connection
Using only a plain sync cord, Qflash displays "Auto" Mode. F/# and
ISO are set on the Qflash display manually. Press Set u to select
f/#, then press the Up J/Down L keys to change the setting. Similarly,
press Set u twice to select ISO and change it.
Flash distance displays the working distance between your Qflash and
Subject based on the current settings. Moving outside this range may
result in an Under or Overexposed picture.
