added to the front of the ash head when needed. It is good for so-
ftening light, reducing hot spots and shadows and better coverage
for macro photography.
To use:
1. Align the diuser with the ash head to the relevant slot.
2. Snap one side of the diuser mount into the corresponding ash
head mount.
3. Repeat step 3 on the other side of the diuser.
Overheating Protection
The Phottix Juno contains an overheating protection circuit that
will slow ash recycle time to avoid overheating-related damage.
Approximately 20 full-power ashes in a short amount of time will
trigger this protection. A [ Hot! ] Icon will appear when the overhe-
ating protection circuit is in operation.
To avoid further overheating or possible damage, wait 10 minutes
before using the ash.

cession.
2. When overheated the ash will stop ashing and‘hot’icon will
be indicated on screen, please allow the ash to cool down.
Stroboscopic Mode and Shutter Speeds
To determine the proper camera shutter speed to be used with
various Stroboscopic Mode variables, use the following formula:
Number of ashes / Frequency = Shutter Speed
Example: 5x (number of ashes) / 10 Hz (Frequency) = .5 second
shutter speed.
This is a rough guideline: You may need to increase or decrease the
shutter speed to get the desired result.
Multi Stroboscopic Mode Maximum ash count chart.
Please refer to the table below for the maximum number of ashes
that the Juno ash allow with certain power setting.
Wireless Modes
The Phottix Juno has a built-in transceiver. It can be used to trigger
other nearby Juno ashes using radio signal (when used as a“Ma-
ster” transmitter), It can be set as a receiver “Slave” ash and be trig-
gered by Juno Flashes in transmitter mode or by compatible Phottix
Flash Triggers, or optically by other ashes.
Master Mode: The Juno Flash acts as transmitter and triggers other
Juno ashes or compatible Phottix products. While set in Master
Mode the Juno ash can also be used as a ash with power set from
1/1 to 1/128, or set not to re.
Slave Mode: The Juno Flash act as a receiver and res at the set
power level when receiving a radio signal from the Phottix Juno ash
in Master Mode or other compatible Phottix product.
S1 Mode: Optical Slave Mode: The Phottix Juno will be triggered
when other nearby ashes re.
S2 Mode: Optical Slave Delay Mode: The Phottix Juno will be trigge-
red when other nearby ashes re. This mode delays the triggering
of the Juno to account for any TTL pre-ash signals that made cause
unwanted early triggering.
