OP Tx (Master) and OP Rx (Slave) modes use Canon wireless control and trig-
gering system. A Mitros+ flash set to OP Tx (Master) is needed on the camera to
control remote (slave) flashes set to OP Rx (Slave). The same transmission chan-
nel needs to be set on both Master and Slave flashes. Groups need to be set for
Slave flashes, Group Ratio functions need to be set for Master flashes. A Mitros+

Transmission Channels
The Phottix Mitros+ OP Tx/Rx Wireless system has four transmission channels: 1,
2, 3 and 4. Signals from the OP Tx (Master) flash are sent to OP Rx (Slave) flashes
on these channels. If Master and Slave flashes are set to different channels the
Slave flashes will not fire.

Slave mode, pressing the shutter button will fire the OP Tx (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.
