Wireless Triggering Mode
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash is equipped with wireless triggering. Using pulses
of light, a ash on the camera adjusts and res remote ashes.
The Phottix Mitros can also be triggered as an Optical Slave (OS). In OS mode
other nearby red ashes will trigger the Mitros in manual mode only.
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
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 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.
- TTL pre-ashes will set o a ash set to OS mode. The ash will re before
the exposure. Do not mix OS mode with other ashes using TTL.
- Unlike other Wireless Mode, 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, Group Ratio functions needs to be set for Master ashes.
To set Master Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Pressing the and buttons will cycle between Master with
ash, Master without ash, Slave, OS and O modes.
3. Select Master with ash or Master without ash.
4. Pressing button will change the highlighted selection from Master
to Channel and Ratio.
5. Select the transmission channel.
6. Select the Ratio mode (see below).
7. Press the button to conrm and exit the screen.
Master with Flash mode: The Master ash on the camera will re when a
photo is taken.
Master without Flash mode: The Master ash on the camera will not re
when a photo is taken. The ash will emit a short burst of light to communi-
cate with slave ashes but this light will not be part of the exposure.
To set Slave Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Pressing the and buttons will cycle between Master with
Flash, Master without Flash, Slave, OS and O modes.
3. Select Slave.
4. Pressing the button to change the highlighted selection from Slave
to Channel and Group.
5. Select the Transmission Channel.
6. Select the group: A, B or C.
7. Press the button to conrm and exit the screen.
8. When Slave ashes are ready to shoot the AF Assist light on the front of the
ash will blink once every 1 second.
9. To set Multi or M modes for the Slave – press and hold the button
for approximately 2 sec.
10. Set Power Levels or Multi Strobe Frequency / Flash Count using the arrow
buttons.
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 “O”.
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.
Using Wireless Triggering
With a ash in Master mode on the camera and remote ashes in Slave mode,
pressing the shutter button will re the Master ash (if set to Master with ash)
and ashes set to Slave mode within the range of the Master ash. The camera
and ash will meter the scene and re ashes in TTL mode to properly expose
the scene.
Ratio Modes
Slave ashes can be controlled by the master ash in dierent ratio modes.
Available modes are:
