En INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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
obtained, 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 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.
Please note:
- Check that the HSS icon is displayed in the viewnder.
- HSS drastically reduces ash power, battery power and range.
Second Curtain Sync – SCS

1. Der 3,5mm Sync-Port kann mit einem 3,5mm Sync-Kabel 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
voll aufgeladen ist.
LED rechts: Blitz Belichtungs-Kontrollanzeige. Wenn eine Standard-Blitzbelich-
tung erreicht ist, wird die LED für 3 Sekunden blau leuchten. Wenn die blaue
LED nicht leuchtet, verringern Sie den Abstand zum Motiv oder erhöhen Sie den
ISO-Wert der Kamera.
Externer Batterieanschluß
Der externe Batterie Port ist speziell für Phottix Blitzkabel entwickelt. Mit dem
beiliegenden Adapter können auch das Canon CP-E4 oder kompatible Batte-
rie-Packs benutzt werden.
Bitte beachten:
- Die Batterien des Blitzgerätes müssen auch dann eingelegt sein wenn ein
externes Batterie-Pack benutzt wird.
- Niemals inkompatible Batterie-Packs benutzen.
