It looks like the Qflash 5D does communicate in auto mode, but only with some the newer QTTL adapters which, not surprisingly, are for the most popular newer digital cameras. The R8/R9 only works with the QF23, which is a relatively older straight TTL adapter in Quantum's line. I'm not sure there is any advantage of auto mode over TTL, and I've used my Qflash T2 a lot with the R8/R9 in TTL. I also use it in manual mode with other cameras and it is a great unit. The new ones are just a bit smaller than the older ones, but the flash tube and reflector look the same. -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe.tessem@gmail.com
