Phottix Odin for Canon - Manual (Page 4)

Please Note:
After adding turning on the Phottix
Odin TCU and receivers you must take one photograph
for the TCU to “learn” about your camera and fl ashes.
The fi rst shot you take will not be properly exposed.
Subsequent images will be correct. Any changes in
mode or camera will also aff ect exposure. Restart the
Odin Transmitter when changes are made.
Slave mode does not need to be set on fl ashes on Phottix
Odin receivers, but fl ashes need to be set in TTL mode.
Ensure there is a good hot shoe connection between
the TCU and camera, and fl ashes and receiver for best
performance.
Many TTL fl ashes have been tested but the manufacturer
cannot guarantee that all third party TTL fl ashes will
function properly with the Phottix Odin. It has been
designed and optimized for original Canon fl ashes using
the ETTL II system. Issues with third party fl ashes will not
be supported.
Tip:
Turn off all devices – fl ashes/strobes, cameras, and
the Phottix Odin TCU and receivers - when connecting
and disconnecting devices.
Notes on camera LCD and Menu
When using the Phottix Odin TCU and Receiver make
sure wireless fl ash functions are not selected on the
camera menus. The Odin overrides certain Canon
wireless fl ash functions, enabling and changing option
on the camera may limit use of second certain sync and
fl ash zoom functions. For best performance do not make
changes to functions in the camera fl ash menus.
Upgrading fi rmware by USB
The fi rmware of the TCU and receivers can be upgraded
using the included USB cable. Any upgrades and full
instructions will be announced on the Phottix Blog
(journal.phottix.com).
