User Instructions

This is because auto mode flashes read reflected light from the scene and subject. In order to
compare those readings to a meter, the meter must also be reading the same reflected light.
The reflected light is affected by the subject and background, and an incident light reading will
not typically provide the same reading (unless the subject is an 18% gray card).
1. Place the Qflash 10 feet from a blank wall. The wall should be larger than the metering area
of the meter, and preferably a wall of continuous tone (blank wall).
2. Place flash meter next to Qflash, also facing the blank wall.
Be sure to set the flash meter
for a reflected reading.
3. Turn the Trio on, set the mode to Auto (A) and change the f/ number to F8.0
4. Set the film speed on the flash and the flash meter to the same value.
5. Fire the Trio. Note the F/number on the flash meter.
6. Press the OPT soft key, then use the Left  and Right  buttons to scroll through the
options until the auto compensation is highlighted.
7. Using the UP and DOWN soft keys, adjust the F/ number in the display until it matches the
F/ number from the flash meter.
