1.0 Introduction

Qnexus integrates a Qﬂash series 5d-R into a Nikon or Canon wireless (IR) ﬂash system. When connected to a Qﬂash 5d-R, Qnexus receives wireless commands from a Nikon or Canon on-camera “master” ﬂash. Qﬂash then becomes a remote ﬂash controlled by the master. Use your camera’s wireless ﬂash control and enhance your lighting capabilities with the professional quality and power of Qﬂash.

Important

Please read thoroughly the instructions for the Master Flash wireless

operation. All Qﬂash modes will be set by the Master Flash

(Nikon or Canon) on the camera, according to that system's procedures.

2.0 Mounting QNEXUS

Turn off power to Qﬂash before mounting Qnexus.

Qnexus plugs into the lower Accessory socket of Qﬂash, as shown in the diagram. For added stability, a hook and loop pad is mounted on the back of Qnexus. One part of this pad will be attached to the Qﬂash housing by the method below.

Before removing the protective liner to expose the adhesive, align the Qnexus with the lower accessory socket of the Qﬂash. Note where the hook and loop pad will make contact with the body of the Qﬂash. Clean the area of any dirt or

grease. Remove the adhesive liner from the pad (without touching the adhesive), align and press the Qnexus ﬁrmly against the Qﬂash so that the hook and loop pad adheres to the Qﬂash housing. Do not remove the Qnexus from the Qﬂash for 24

hours to allow the adhesive to cure.

After 24 hours you can remove and re-mount Qnexus as needed. Additional hook and loop pads are included with Qnexus. They can be used to place additional pads on other Qﬂash units, or as a replacement.
