4.0 Wireless Shutter Release (motor drive)
4.1 Receiver FW8R:
Connect a Shutter Release Cord (see Appendix C) from the Receiver FW8R MD
connection to the camera shutter release connection.
4.2 Transmitter FW9T:

3.3 Wireless Qflash with Receiver FW7Q
This receiver is dedicated to Qflash series 4 and 5
and mounts directly onto the flash. Please see
Section 5.0 for proper mounting. FW7Q will be set
to NORM range when connected to a Qflash 4d.
When connected to Qflash 5d, range can be set to
HI or NORM, however, only NORM can be used for
wireless TTL (Sections 7 and 8). See Section 11 for
range specifications.
cameras require a delay between the meter/focus function and shutter release (for
example, Contax 645). Select Shutter MD Delay for those cameras by sliding MD
DELAY switch to (+). Without Shutter MD Delay, the camera focus, meter, and shut-
ter will be activated together (and the camera will shoot as soon as it can). The
Shutter MD Delay requires a two step Shutter Release Cord listed in Appendix C.
Shutter Release Cords will be added periodically; please consult your dealer or the
Quantum Web Site (qtm.com) for the latest models available.
4.4 Remote shutter operation is not possible with FW7Q.
