9.1.3 Reflector N, D, B

Setting the reflector type is important so that the displayed distance,
guide number and f/# correspond to the reflector in use. The choices are
NORM (for the reflector supplied with Qflash), DIFF (for diffusers
supplied with Qflash, optional QF67A Dome diffuser, QF68 Soft Box, or
QF69 Mini Soft Box), BBE (optional Bare Bulb Enhancers QF62Bs and
QF62Bg) .

Notes:
When using QF62B s/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 use Auto, TTL,
or QTTL modes which will provide better exposures and attractive, soft
lighting.

When using a Telephoto Reflector QF63B the Auto mode cannot be
used because the flash sensor is blocked. Use Manual, TTL, QTTL or
Linked modes.

9.1.4 Speaker

You may want the speaker off for sensitive shooting, or turn it on for
audible confirmation of flash exposure.

9.1.5 AF Auto Focus

The Auto focus light responds to a signal from the camera. Turn this
option OFF if you want the light to ignore the camera and stay off.
