Multi: Stroboscopic Mode
With Multi Stroboscopic mode a series of rapid flashes will be fired. The flash
count, frequency and power of these flashes 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 effects.
The frequency of the effect (in Hz. - number of flashes per second), the total
number of flashes and output levels can be set.
To use:
1. Press the button until Multi is displayed on the flash 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
flashing 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

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 flash will automatically increase charging time until
the flash 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 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.
