Please Note: After adding turning on the Phottix
Odin TCU and receivers you must take one photograph
for the TCU to “learn” about your camera and ashes.
The rst shot you take will not be properly exposed.
Subsequent images will be correct. Any changes in
mode or camera will also aect exposure. Restart the
Odin Transmitter when changes are made.
Slave mode does not need to be set on ashes on Phottix
Odin receivers, but ashes need to be set in TTL mode.
Ensure there is a good hot shoe connection between
the TCU and camera, and ashes and receiver for best
performance.
Many TTL ashes have been tested but the manufacturer
cannot guarantee that all third party TTL ashes will
function properly with the Phottix Odin. It has been
designed and optimized for original Canon ashes using
the ETTL II system. Issues with third party ashes will not
be supported.
Tip: Turn o all devices – ashes/strobes, cameras, and
the Phottix Odin TCU and receivers - when connecting
and disconnecting devices.
Notes on camera LCD and Menu
When using the Phottix Odin TCU and Receiver make
sure wireless ash functions are not selected on the
camera menus. The Odin overrides certain Canon
wireless ash functions, enabling and changing option
on the camera may limit use of second certain sync and
ash zoom functions. For best performance do not make
changes to functions in the camera ash menus.
Upgrading rmware by USB
The rmware of the TCU and receivers can be upgraded
using the included USB cable. Any upgrades and full
instructions will be announced on the Phottix Blog
(journal.phottix.com).

4. The Odin TCU set to Channels 1, 2, 3 or 4 and in
Mixed/TTL mode (Groups A, B, C) and Ratio mode

Multi receivers on Channels 1, 2, 3 or 4 and Groups
A, B, C.
5. Press the Test button and ashes will test re in
sequence: Group A, followed by Groups B and C on
Strato II Multi Receivers.
