Wireless Triggering; Wireless Settings - Phottix Mitros TTL Benutzerhandbuch

Wireless Triggering Mode
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash is equipped with wireless triggering. Using pulses
of light, a flash on the camera can adjust and fire remote flashes. In this mode
remote flashes can be assigned to three groups (A, B C) with flash mode and
flash compensation values can be independently set for each group .
A flash set in Master mode must be attached to the camera (or the camera pop-
up flash used, if compatible). Remote flashes must be set to slave mode.
Wireless triggering is achieved by pulses of light fired by the Master flash. All
flashes must be in line of sight. The Wireless Signal Receiver Area must be able to
"see" signals from the Master flash. 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 flash. The Phottix Odin controls and
fires TTL flashes 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 fire when it optically "sees" another nearby
flash fire. The Mitros will fire 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 confirm and exit the screen.
4. The flash 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 flash's Wireless Signal Receiver Area faces toward the trig-
gering flash.
- When using OS Mode the shutter speed of the camera should not be higher
than 1/250s.
- TTL pre-flash from on camera flashes or flashes set to Wireless Master Mode
will set off a flash set to OS Mode. The flash will fire before the exposure. Do
not mix flashes in TTL or Wireless Master Mode with flashes set to OS Mode.
- Unlike other Wireless Modes, Optical Slave (OS) does not use channels. A
flash set in OS mode will fire when it sees any flash trigger.

Wireless Settings

Flashes must be set to Master or Slave mode. A Master flash is needed on the
camera to control remote (slave) flashes. The same transmission channel needs
to be set on both Master and Slave flashes. Groups need to be set for Slave flash-
es.
