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 a 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, reduc-
ing hot spots and shadows, and provides better coverage for macro photography.

4
En INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To use:
1. Align the diffuser with the flash head, with the “UP” mark on the diffuser
facing up.
2. Snap one side of the diffuser mount into the corresponding flash head
mount.
3. Repeat step 2 on the other side of the diffuser.
Overheating Protection
The Phottix Mitros+ contains an overheating protection circuit that will slow
flash recycle times to avoid overheating-related damage. Continuous full-power
flashes in a short amount of time will trigger this protection. The flash recycling
time will become slow and a [Hot! ] icon will appear when the overheating pro-
tection circuit is in operation.
To avoid further overheating or possible damage the flash will increase the re-
cycling time to assist in lowering the flash temperature. Wait 10 minutes before
reusing the flash.
If the flash continues to be used after the [ Hot! ] Icon appears and the flash
does not cool down a [ Stop ] icon will appear on the LCD. Cease using the flash
immediately and wait 10 minutes for it to cool down.
Sync and USB Ports
1. The 3.5mm Sync Port can be used with a 3.5mm sync cable to trigger the
flash-from a flash trigger or camera. This port is input only – flash signals cannot
output from this port.
2. The USB port is used for firmware upgrades. Firmware announcements and
instructions will be made available on Phottix websites.
Status LED
Left LED: Flash-ready indicator. In Quick Flash Mode, the LED will flash green
when the flash has the minimum recycle charge. It will flash red when fully
charged.
Right LED: Flash exposure confirmation lamp. If a standard flash exposure is
obtained, the flash exposure confirmation lamp will light blue for approximately
3 seconds. If the flash exposure confirmation lamp doesn’t light, move closer to
the subject or increase the camera ISO setting.

flash will fire a pre-flash that the camera will use to calculate exposure and flash
power the instant before the photo is taken.
Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC)
Flash output compensation to only illuminate the subject without affecting the
background exposure can be made by changing the flash’s EV value in TTL flash
mode. Increase the compensation to make the subject brighter, or reduce to
make the subject darker.
The Phottix Mitros+ TTL Transceiver Flash offers Flash Exposure Compensation
(FEC) with adjustments from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. This is useful in situations
where fine-tuning of the TTL system is needed.

Stroboscopic Mode and Shutter Speeds
To determine the proper camera shutter speed to be used with various Strobo-
scopic Mode variables, use the following formula:
Number of flashes / Frequency = Shutter Speed
Example: 5x (number of flashes) / 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 Output Chart
Multi Stroboscopic mode output is affected by the battery level. Please refer to
the following test result.
Use NI-MH batteries
“100+”means more than 100 times.

Slave mode, pressing the shutter button will fire the OPTx (Master) flash (if set to
fire the flash) and flashes set to OP Rx (Slave) mode within the range of the OP Tx
(Master) flash. The camera and flash will meter the scene and fire flashes in TTL
mode to properly expose the scene.
Ratio Modes
Slave flashes can be controlled by the Master flash in two different Ratio Modes:
M: A All Slave flashes no matter in groups A or B are regarded as the same
group. There are only two groups: Master and Slave group.
M: A: B There are three groups: Master, Slave group A and Slave group B.
Phottix Mitros+ TTL transceiver flash for Sony has two TTL modes: TTL and TTL
Auto mode. Please see above and below for more details.
TTL Modes:
M: A Master flash will not fire. All Slave flashes (no matter in groups A or B)
will fire as metered and/or with the same flash power.
M: A: B Master flash will not fire. Only Slave group A will fire. Slave group B
will not fire.
TTL Modes:
M: A Flash ratio can be set for Master and Slave groups (A and B). Master and
Slave groups will fire at the selected flash ratio.
M: A: B Flash ratio can be set for Master, Slave groups A and B. Three groups
will fire at the selected flash ratio.
Manual Modes
M: A Master flash will fire at the selected manual power level. Slave groups
(A and B as the same group) will fire at the TTL metering result and the select-
ed flash ratio.
M: A: B Master flash will fire at the selected manual power level. Slave group
A and Slave group B will fire at the TTL metering result and the selected flash
ratio.
Please note:

De BENUTZERHANDBUCH
Benutzen des Blitzkopfdiffusors
Das Phottix Mitros+ TTL Blitzgerät hat einen aufsteckbaren Diffusor, der bei Be-
darf auf den Kopf gesteckt werden kann. Der Diffusor softet das Licht ab, reduz-
iert Spitzenlichter und Schlagschatten und verbessert die Lichtverhältnisse bei
Makroaufnahmen.
Verwendung:
1. Stecken Sie den Diffusor so auf den Kopf, dass die Markierung “UP“ nach
oben zeigt.
2. Lassen Sie den Diffusor in die Kerben am Blitzgerät einrasten.
3. Wiederholen Sie Schritt 2 für die andere Seite des Diffusors.
Überhitzungsschutz
Der Phottix Mitros+ ist mit einem Überhitzungsschutz ausgestattet, durch
welchen die Blitzfolgezeit reduziert wird um eine Überhitzung zu vermeiden.
Bei mehreren Auslösungen mit maximaler Leistung in kurzer Zeit, wird dieser
Schutz aktiviert. Die Blitznachladezeiten verlängern sich und im Display er-
scheint das [Hot!] Symbol wenn der Schutz aktiv ist.
Zur Vermeidung weiterer Überhitzungen oder möglicher Beschädigungen wird
der Blitz die Ladezeit so anpassen, dass die Temperatur gesenkt wird.Warten Sie
10 Minuten, bevor Sie den Blitz wieder benutzen.
Wenn der Blitz weiter benutzt wird obwohl das [Hot!] Symbol leuchtet, wird sich
der Blitz nicht abkühlen, dann erscheint das [Stop] Symbol im Display. Beenden
Sie sofort die Benutzung des Gerätes und lassen Sie es für 10 Minuten abkühlen.
Synchron- und USB-Port
1. Der 3,5mm Sync-Port kann mit einem 3,5mm Synchrokabel benutzt werden
um den Blitz mit einem Blitzauslöser oder einer Kamera auszulösen. Dieser An-
schluss ist nur dafür da ein Signal zu empfangen – nicht um eines zu senden.
2. Der USB Port wird für Firmware-Upgrades benutzt. Firmware-Ankündigungen
und Instruktionen erhalten Sie auf der Phottix-Website.
Status LED
LED links: Blitzbereitschaftsanzeige. Im Quick Flash Modus leuchtet die LED
grün wenn der Blitz minimal aufgeladen ist. Die LED leuchtet rot wenn der Blitz
