Wireless Settings - Phottix Mitros TTL Flash Benutzerhandbuch

Wireless Triggering Mode
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash is equipped with wireless triggering. Using pulses
of light, a flash on the camera adjusts and fires remote flashes.
The Phottix Mitros Flash can be used as Wireless Master Unit on the following
cameras: DSLR-A900, DSLR-A850, DSLR-A700, SLT-A99V/ SLT-A99, SLT-A77V/
SLT-A77, SLT-A65V/ SLT-A65, SLT-A58, SLT-A57, SLT-A37, NEX-7or NEX-6.
A flash set in Master mode must be attached to the camera (or the camera pop-
up flash used, if compatible, see below.) Camera's shooting mode must be set to
Wireless (WL) mode. 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 out-
doors 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.

Signal Receiver Area faces toward the Master flash.
-If Slave flashes are set to M mode, they will fire at the set manual flash power.
Transmission channels
The Phottix Mitros Wireless system has four transmission channels: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Signals from the Master flash are sent to Slave flashes on these channels. If Mas-
ter and Slave flashes are set to different channels the Slave flashes will not fire.
Using Wireless Triggering
With a flash in Master mode on the camera, the camera shooting mode in Wire-
less (WL) mode, and remote flashes in Slave mode, pressing the shutter button
will fire the Master flash (if set to Master with flash) and flashes set to Slave mode
within the range of the Master flash. The camera and flash will meter the scene
and fire flashes in TTL mode to properly expose the scene.
