Very Important Tips
For consistent exposures with your digital camera and Qflash.
•Always do a custom white balance before shooting
When shooting TTL use Aperture or Shutter priority or Manual
camera modes
Set your metering area to center weight, partial metering
instead of matrix or multi-spot metering.
•Your Qflash provides 150 watt-seconds of power compared to
50 watt-seconds of a typical shoe mount flash. When shooting
6 ft. (2m) or closer, at ISO 200 or greater, with a wide open F/#,
you must always diffuse the light. Otherwise your subject will
be over-exposed.
