5.9.4 Turning the Speaker ON/OFF
You may want the speaker off for sensitive shooting, or turn it on for audi-
ble confirmation of flash exposure. The earphone signals always sound
whether the speaker function is set on or off. For more about the speaker
signals see Sections 5.10.2 to 5.10.6.
5.9.5 Turning the Flash Indicator Lights ON/OFF
The red Flash Indicators on 4 sides of Qflash give visual indication that a
flash fired, whether the exposure was good or not, or that the flash did not
fire. You can enable or disable the lights. For more about Flash Indicators,
refer to Sections 5.10.2 to 5.10.6.
5.9.6 Changing The Reflector settings
Setting reflector type is important so that the displays of distance, guide
number, and f/ number correspond to the reflector in use. The choices are
NORM (for the reflector supplied with Qflash), DIFF (for diffusers supplied
with Qflash, or optional QF67A), BBE (optional Bare Bulb Enhancers
QF62Bs and QF62Bg), and TELE (for optional QF63B). The reflectors
must be repositioned manually.
Notes: When using QF62Bs/g the manual parameters are accurate only
for an open area. In medium and small rooms the very widely dispersed
light will bounce off nearby walls and increase exposure. A practical
solution when using QF62B in small rooms is to meter the light, or else use
Auto Fill, Auto, TTL, or QTTL modes which will provide better exposures
and attractive, soft lighting.
