INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Wireless Triggering Mode
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash is equipped with wireless triggering. Using pulses
of light, a ash on the camera can adjust and re remote ashes. In this mode
remote ashes can be assigned to three groups (A, B C) with ash mode and
ash compensation values can be independently set for each group .
A ash set in Master mode must be attached to the camera (or the camera pop-
up ash used, if compatible). Remote ashes must be set to slave mode.
Wireless triggering is achieved by pulses of light red by the Master ash. All
ashes must be in line of sight. The Wireless Signal Receiver Area must be able to
“see” signals from the Master ash. This system may not perform well outdoors
or in brightly lit areas.
For increased performance and power control consider using the Phottix Odin
TTL Flash Trigger with your Phottix Mitros ash. The Phottix Odin controls and
res TTL ashes via radio signals, not pulses of light, and is less limited in all
environments.
Optical Slave (OS) Mode
The Phottix Mitros can also be triggered as an Optical Slave (OS). In Optical Slave
(OS) Mode the Phottix Mitros will re when it optically “sees” another nearby
ash re. The Mitros will re in manual mode at the power levels it was set to.
To Set OS Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Press
or button to cycle to OS mode.
3. Press the
button to conrm and exit the screen.
4. The ash will change to Manual-M mode.
5. Set the desired power level.
Please note:
- Do not place any obstacles between the master unit and slave unit(s). Obsta-
cles can block signal transmissions.
- Ensure the slave ash’s Wireless Signal Receiver Area faces toward the trig-
gering ash.
- When using OS Mode the shutter speed of the camera should not be higher
than 1/250s.
- TTL pre-ash from on camera ashes or ashes set to Wireless Master Mode
will set o a ash set to OS Mode. The ash will re before the exposure. Do
not mix ashes in TTL or Wireless Master Mode with ashes set to OS Mode.
- Unlike other Wireless Modes, Optical Slave (OS) does not use channels. A
ash set in OS mode will re when it sees any ash trigger.
Wireless Settings
Flashes must be set to Master or Slave mode. A Master ash is needed on the
camera to control remote (slave) ashes. The same transmission channel needs
to be set on both Master and Slave ashes. Groups need to be set for Slave ash-
es.
To set Master Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds until the “Wireless Fn OFF”
highlighted on the LCD.
2. Press the
and buttons will cycle between Wireless OFF, Master,
Slave, OS modes.
3. Select Master mode and press
button for conrm.
Set the ash modes, ash output compensation values and
channels for the master ash
1. Press the button to enter the settings mode;
2. Press the
or will cycle between the adjustable parameters;
3. Press the
or button to adjust the parameters of the selected
item;
4. Press the
button to exit the setting mode.
Master with Flash mode: The on camera Master ash will re when a photo
is taken.
Master without Flash mode: The on camera Master ash will emit a short
burst of light to communicate with slave ashes but this light will not be part
of the exposure when a photo is taken.
To set Slave Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Press the left arrow or right arrow buttons will cycle between Wireless OFF,
Master, Slave, OS modes.
3. Select Slave mode and press
button for conrm.
To set the Slave Groups and Channels:
1. Press the
button to activate the settings mode;
2. Press the
or will cycle between the group settings (A B C), chan-
nel settings (1 2 3 4) and ZOOM settings;
3. Press the
or button to adjust the parameters of the selected
item;
4. Press the
button to conrm and exit the screen.
5. When Slave ashes are ready to shoot, the AF Assist light on the front of the
ash will blink once every 1 second.
Please note:
- Make sure the Master and Slave ashes are set to the same transmission
channel (1-4).
- Do not place any obstacles between the master unit and slave unit(s). Obsta-
cles can block signal transmissions.
- When using wireless bounce ash, please ensure the slave ash Wireless Sig-
nal Receiver Area faces toward the Master ash.
- When using only one ash set Wireless Mode to “OFF”.
Transmission channels
The Phottix Mitros Wireless system has four transmission channels: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Signals from the Master ash are sent to Slave ashes on these channels. If Mas-
ter and Slave ashes are set to dierent channels the Slave ashes will not re.
