En INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Quick Flash Function
The Quick Flash function allows the flash to fire at 1/6 to 1/2 of the full output.
Flash recycle times are faster. This is best used for close subjects in situation
where photos need to be taken quickly.
Quick flash can be used with continuous drive modes, Quick Flash for continu-
ous shot function can be enabled or disabled (see C.Fn 06 above).
Please note:
The Quick Flash Function makes flash firing a priority. Under-exposure can
result if the subject is located too far from the camera or if photos are taken
too quickly.
Auto Backlight
By default, pressing any button on the Mitros flash will cause the LCD backlight
to illuminate. The backlight will illuminate for 8 seconds and turn off if no but-
tons are pressed.
This function can be disabled though C.Fn 14. If disabled, pressing the but-
ton only will illuminate the LCD backlight.
Slave Flash Beep Confirm
When the flash is used as a wireless slave it will beep twice when an optical
signal is received from the Master Flash. This can be disabled (see C.Fn 04 above)
Button Beep Confirm
Using the Phottix Mitros buttons provides audible feedback – beeps – when
each is pressed. This function can be turned off (see C.Fn 13 above)
TTL Pref
TTL may vary slightly when using the flash on different cameras. TTL Pref (C.Fn
15) setting allows users to adjust EV from +3 to -3 in 1/3rd stops to compensate
for these slight variations. This adjustment is a personal preference based on
camera standard TTL and will be stored in memory. When this EV level prefer-
ence is set, this compensation will be used for images taken in TTL mode. This EV
compensation will not be displayed on the LCD during regular use.
