Turning the Flash On / Off
1. To power on the flash move the power switch to the on position.
2. To power off the flash move the power switch to the off position.

Battery Level Indicator

The Battery Level Indicator on the LCD (see below) will display an approximate
indication of how much power remains in the batteries in the flash. Use this as
a rough guide as to when a battery change is needed. If flash recycling time has
become very long (30 seconds) change the batteries.
Raising and Rotating the Flash Head
1. The flash head will elevate from -7 to 90 degrees with stops at -7, 0, 45, 60, 75
and 90 degrees. Gently raise or lower the flash head into the required position.
2. The flash head will rotate 180 degrees in either direction with stops at 60, 75,
90, 120, 150 and 180 degrees. Gently rotate the flash head into the required
position.
3. When the flash head is raised or rotated from the 0 degree standard forward
position the flash zoom will set itself to 50mm. "- -" will be displayed on the LCD.
Flash zoom when the head is raised or rotated can be changed in MZoom mode
(see below).
4. At -7 degrees the flash zoom will act the same as 0 degree – it will not change
any settings.
Using the Bounce Card or Wide Angle Diffuser
The Phottix Mitros Flash comes equipped with a white bounce card and wide
angle diffuser panel in the flash head.
1. The wide angle diffuser panel will cause the flash to spread light to a 14mm
equivalent.
2. The white bounce card can be used when the flash head is in a raised position
to bounce light forward to assist with catch lights in a subject's eyes.
To use:
1. Gently pull the diffuser panel and bounce card from the flash head using
the ridge on the bottom of the diffuser panel.
2. If using the diffuser panel it will drop into position over the flash head. Gen-
tly push the bounce card back into the flash head if not needed.
3. If using the bounce card only gently push the diffuser panel back into the
flash head.
Using the Flash Head Diffuser
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash comes with an attachable diffuser that can be add-
ed to the front of the flash head when needed. It is good for softening light,
reducing hot spots and shadows and better coverage for macro photography.
To use:
1. Align the diffuser with the flash head, with the "UP" mark on the diffuser
facing up.
