Overheating Protection
The Phottix Mitros contains an overheating protection circuit that will slow flash
recycle time to avoid overheating-related damage. Approximately 20 full-power
flashes 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 flash will increase the re-
cycling time to assist in lowering the flash temperature. Wait 10 minutes before
using 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 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 are
not 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 ob-
tained, 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.
External Battery Port
The External Battery Port is a proprietary Phottix design for use with Phottix
flash 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 flash even when an external battery pack is
used.
- Never use non Canon-compatible battery packs.
