Turning the Flash On / O
1. To power on the ash move the power switch to the on position.
2. To power o the ash move the power switch to the o 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 ash. Use this as
a rough guide as to when a battery change is needed. If ash recycling time has
become very long (30 seconds) change the batteries.
Raising and Rotating the Flash Head
1. The ash head will elevate from -7 to 90 degrees with stops at -7, 0, 45, 60, 75
and 90 degrees. Gently raise or lower the ash head into the required position.
2. The ash head will rotate 180 degrees in either direction with stops at 60, 75,
90, 120, 150 and 180 degrees. Gently rotate the ash head into the required
position.
3. When the ash head is raised or rotated from the 0 degree standard forward
position the ash 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 ash zoom will act the same as 0 degree – it will not change
any settings.
Using the Bounce Card or Wide Angle Diuser
The Phottix Mitros Flash comes equipped with a white bounce card and wide
angle diuser panel in the ash head.
1. The wide angle diuser panel will cause the ash to spread light to a 14mm
equivalent.
2. The white bounce card can be used when the ash 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 diuser panel and bounce card from the ash head using
the ridge on the bottom of the diuser panel.
2. If using the diuser panel it will drop into position over the ash head. Gen-
tly push the bounce card back into the ash head if not needed.
3. If using the bounce card only gently push the diuser panel back into the
ash head.
Using the Flash Head Diuser
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash comes with an attachable diuser that can be add-
ed to the front of the ash 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 diuser with the ash head, with the “UP” mark on the diuser
facing up.
2. Snap one side of the diuser mount into the corresponding ash head
mount.
3. Repeat step 2 on the other side of the diuser.

4
Overheating Protection
The Phottix Mitros 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 overheating protection circuit is in operation.
To avoid further overheating or possible damage the ash will increase the re-
cycling time to assist in lowering the ash temperature. Wait 10 minutes before
using the ash.
If the ash continues to be used after the [ Hot! ] Icon appears and the ash does
not cool down a [ Stop ] icon will appear on the LCD. Cease using the ash 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
ash – from a ash trigger or camera. This port is input only – ash signals are
not output from this port.
2. The USB port is used for rmware 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 ash green
when the ash has the minimum recycle charge. It will ash red when fully
charged.
Right LED: Flash exposure conrmation lamp. If a standard ash exposure is ob-
tained, the ash exposure conrmation lamp will light blue for approximately 3
seconds. If the ash exposure conrmation lamp doesn’t light, move closer to
the subject or increase the camera ISO setting.
External Battery Port
The External Battery Port is a proprietary Phottix design for use with Phottix
ash cables. The external port is compatible with the Canon CP-E4 compact bat-
tery pack or compatible models when the included adapter is used.
Please note:
- Batteries must be used in the ash even when an external battery pack is
used.
- Never use non Canon-compatible battery packs.

3. Modeling Flash can be used in both normal and wireless shooting and can be
set (see C.Fn-02 below).
Please note:
1. Overheating and damage can result from excessive use of the Modeling
Flash. Do not use more than 20 times in succession.
2. When overheating the ash will automatically increase charging time until
the ash temperature has decreased.
Autofocus (AF) Assist Light
1. In low light/contrast situations the Phottix Mitros’ built-in Auto Focus Assist
Light will illuminate to assist with AF. The AF Assist Light on the front of the ash
will project a focusing target on the subject.
2. AF Assist Light functions can be set to on or o (see C.Fn-08 below).
Adjustments
The Phottix Mitros will adjust levels in 1/3 stop increments. Some cameras have
custom functions to change stop adjustments from 1/3 to 1/2 stop increments
for FEB and FEC. If camera custom functions are changed the Phottix Mitros will
automatically adjust levels in 1/2 stops.

7
Flash Modes
The Phottix Mitros has three ash modes: ETTL, Manual (M) and Multi (Strobo-
scopic).
To change modes:
1. Press the button.
2. The ash modes will cycle through ETTL, Manual (M) and Multi modes.
3. The current mode will be displayed in the top left corner of the LCD.
ETTL Mode
In ETTL Mode the ash and camera will work together to calculate the correct
exposure for recorded images. When the shutter button is fully pressed the ash
will re a pre-ash that the camera will use to calculate exposure and ash pow-
er the instant before the photo is taken.
Flash Exposure Compensation - FEC
The Phottix Mitros Flash oers Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) functions
and adjustements from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. This is useful in situations where
ne-tuning of the TTL system is needed based on the environment.
To set FEC:
1. Press the button to enter FEC Adjustment Mode.
2. Press the or buttons to adjust FEC up or down.
3. Press the button to exit FEC Adjustment Mode.
Please note:
- Some cameras have custom functions to change stop adjustments from
1/3 to 1/2 stop increments for FEB and FEC. If camera custom functions are
changed the Phottix Mitros will adjust levels in 1/2 stop increments.
Flash Exposure Bracketing - FEB
Flash Exposure Bracketing (FEB) can be used to automatically change ash pow-
er over a series of photos. The camera will record three images with dierent
exposures – one exposed as per camera calculations, one over-exposed and
another under-exposed. Over and under exposure levels can be set by the user.
FEB is useful in run-and-gun situations as well as when shooting scenes with
dierent lighting conditions to help ensure a properly exposed photo. It can
also be used for HDR photography.
Some cameras have ash exposure storage function, see your camera user man-
ual for more details.
To Set FEB:
1. Press the button.
2.
Press the button.“FEB 0”will be displayed and highlighted on the LCD.
3. Press the and buttons to adjust the exposure bracketing
amount.

in the Custom Functions screen (see C.Fn-03 below).
- FEB shooting sequence can be changed (see C.Fn-04 below).
- FEB can be used with FEC and FEL (see below).
- For best results set the camera drive mode to“single” and ensure the ash is
fully recharged before taking the second and third photos.
- Some cameras have custom functions to change stop adjustments from
1/3 to 1/2 stop increments for FEB and FEC. If camera custom functions are
changed the Phottix Mitros will adjust levels in 1/2 stop increments.
Flash Exposure Lock - FEL
Flash Exposure Lock (FEL) can be used to lock the ash exposure before a photo
is taken. This is useful when manual spot metering is being used in a scene with
dierent lighting conditions.
While in ETTL mode, press the camera’s FEL button (the“ ”button) to use this
function. See your camera user manual for more information on FEL functions
and usage.
Pressing the FEL Button will cause the ash to re a pre-ash that will be used
to calculate ash power during the exposure. This will be retained in the camera
memory. The FEL icon will be displayed in the camera viewnder.
Each time the FEL button is pressed a pre-ash will re and a new exposure cal-
culated. When the shutter button is fully pressed the ash will re at the locked
exposure.
Please note:
- If the subject is too far away underexposure will result, the “FEL” icon will
blink for approximately 0.5 sec. in the camera viewnder.
- If the subject is too small in the viewnder, FEL may not be eective.
High Speed Sync – HSS
In HSS mode, the camera/ash maximum sync speed can reach the camera’s
maximum shutter speed. This is useful when using aperture priority mode or
to limit ambient light. HSS may vary with dierent camera models - see your
camera user manual for details.
To use HSS mode:

2. It will cycle from HSS to SCS and back to regular FCS mode.
Please note:
- Check that the HSS icon is displayed in the viewnder.
- HSS drastically reduces ash power, battery power and range.

8
Second Curtain Sync – SCS
The Phottix Mitros Second Curtain Sync function makes the ash re at the end
of an exposure, not the beginning. This can be useful with slow shutter speeds
for capturing special eect.
To use:
1. Press the button twice. This will cycle from FCS to HSS and then
the SCS mode.
2. To cancel: Press the button once. This will return to standard FCS
mode.
Please note:
SCS functions will not work in Wireless or Multi modes.
Manual (M) Mode
In Manual Mode the ash will re at the power level you set. The Phottix Mitros
TTL Flash can be adjusted from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128 – 8 stops of adjustments
in 1/3rd stop increments. Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on the camera needs
to be manually adjusted. For best results use M-Manual mode on the camera.
To use:
1. Press the button until M is displayed on the ash LCD.
2. Press the button to enter the power adjustment screen. The power
level will ash and be highlighted.
3. Press the or buttons to adjust the ash power.
4. Press the button to exit the power adjustment screen.
5. When the ash ready light is illuminated red the ash is fully charged and
ready to re.
6. Pressing the button will re the ash at the manual power level you
set. This is useful when taking meter readings.
Please note:
- Half pressing the shutter button will display the eective manual ash pow-
er range on the Flash LCD.
Multi: Stroboscopic Mode
With Multi Stroboscopic mode a series of rapid ashes will be red. The ash
count, frequency and power of these ashes can be programmed on the Phottix
Mitros. Multi mode is useful for capturing multiple images of a moving subject
in the same photo and other special eects.
The frequency of the eect (in Hz. - number of ashes per second), the total
number of ashes and output levels can be set.
To use:
1. Press the button until Multi is displayed on the ash LCD.
2. Press the button to adjust Multi settings. Displayed (from left to right
on the LCD) Power, Frequency (HZ) and Flash Count. Power is highlighted and
ashing upon entering the adjustment screen.
3. Press the and buttons to change between Power, Frequency
(HZ) and Flash count.
4. Press the and buttons while the setting is highlighted to
adjust Power, Frequency (HZ) and Flash count to the desired levels.
5. Press the button to exit the adjustment screen.
Please note:
1. Overheating and damage can result from excessive use of the Multi Strobo-
scopic Mode. Do not use more than 20 times in succession.
2. When overheated the ash will automatically increase charging time until
the ash temperature has decreased.
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 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 Output Chart
If the number of ashes is displayed as “N---”, the maximum number of ashes
will be as shown by the table below regardless of the ring frequency.

9
Wireless Triggering Mode
The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash is equipped with wireless triggering. Using pulses
of light, a ash on the camera adjusts and res remote ashes.
The Phottix Mitros can also be triggered as an Optical Slave (OS). In OS mode
other nearby red ashes will trigger the Mitros in manual mode only.
A ash set in Master mode must be attached to the camera (or the camera pop-
up ash used, if compatible). Remote ashes must be set to slave mode.
Wireless triggering is achieved by pulses of light red by the Master ash. All
ashes must be in line of sight. The Wireless Signal Receiver Area must be able to
“see” signals from the Master ash. This system may not perform well outdoors
or in brightly lit areas.
For increased performance and power control consider using the Phottix Odin
TTL Flash Trigger with your Phottix Mitros ash. The Phottix Odin controls and
res TTL ashes via radio signals, not pulses of light, and is less limited in all
environments.
Optical Slave (OS) Mode
In Optical Slave (OS) Mode the Phottix Mitros will re when it optically “sees”
another nearby ash re.The Mitros will re in manual mode at the power levels
it was set to.
To Set OS Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Press button to cycle to OS mode.
3. Press the button to conrm and exit the screen.
4. The ash will change to Manual-M mode.
5. Set the desired power level.
Please note:
- Do not place any obstacles between the master unit and slave unit(s). Obsta-
cles can block signal transmissions.
- Ensure the slave ash’s Wireless Signal Receiver Area faces toward the trig-
gering ash.
- TTL pre-ashes will set o a ash set to OS mode. The ash will re before
the exposure. Do not mix OS mode with other ashes using TTL.
- Unlike other Wireless Mode, Optical Slave (OS) does not use channels. A ash
set in OS mode will re when it sees any ash trigger.
Wireless Settings
Flashes must be set to Master or Slave mode. A Master ash is needed on the
camera to control remote (slave) ashes. The same transmission channel needs
to be set on both Master and Slave ashes. Groups need to be set for Slave ash-
es, Group Ratio functions needs to be set for Master ashes.
To set Master Mode:
1. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter wireless mode.
2. Pressing the and buttons will cycle between Master with
ash, Master without ash, Slave, OS and O modes.

- Do not place any obstacles between the master unit and slave unit(s). Obsta-
cles can block signal transmissions.
- When using wireless bounce ash, please ensure the slave ash Wireless Sig-
nal Receiver Area faces toward the Master ash.
- When using only one ash set Wireless Mode to“O”.
Transmission channels
The Phottix Mitros Wireless system has four transmission channels: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Signals from the Master ash are sent to Slave ashes on these channels. If Mas-
ter and Slave ashes are set to dierent channels the Slave ashes will not re.
Using Wireless Triggering
