7.0 Wireless QTTL control for Digital Cameras4.0
and pre-flash Film Cameras
Many newer camera systems utilize a “pre-flash” as a means to set exposure. After
the pre-flash the main flash fires and synchronizes with the shutter. FW7Q, FW8R
and FW9T provide wireless QTTL flash capability for these types of camera systems,
whether digital or film camera systems.
“Dw” series QTTL adapters (e.g. D12w, D13w, etc.) and Qflash series 5d flash-
es are required for the functions of this Section 7.0. Note: All Qflash 4d series
flashes can be converted to Qflash 5d series, and all D series adapters can be con-
verted to Dw series via software upgrades. Please contact Quantum Customer
Service for the upgrade procedure.
If you wish to utilize FREE
X
WIRE FW10 transceivers together with FW7,8, or 9 units,
they require an upgrade to FW10w for the functions Sections 7.0 and 8.0. Please
contact Quantum Customer Service for the upgrade procedure.
FW10w can not be directly connected to Dw series QTTL Adapters (sections 7.1,
8.1). A local Qflash is required as illustrated in sections 7.3 and 8.3.
