Odin II TTL Flash Trigger for Canon
Thank you for purchasing a Phottix product
Note: Before using the Odin II TTL Flash Trigger for Canon, please read this
instruction manual carefully.
Odin II TTL Flash Trigger is a new generation of TTL triggering system based on the
previous Odin TTL Flash Trigger. While keeping the Odin system’s core functions
such as of wireless power level adjustment, zoom adjustment and etc, the new system
has been added with a series of innovative functions to extend its utility and stability,
including group/channel/ID settings, AF assist light, wireless modeling light
brightness control. A whole new structural design allows for easier and faster to
operation.
Many TTL flashes have been tested but the manufacturer cannot guarantee that all
third party TTL flashes will function properly with the Phottix Odin II. It is designed
and optimized for Canon Flashes using the ETTL II/ETTL system.
Please Note:
1. After turning on the Phottix Odin II transmitter and receivers, slave mode does
not need to be set on flashes on Photix Odin II receivers, but flashes need to be set
in ETTL mode.
2. Ensure there is a good hot shoe connection between the transmitter and camera,
flashes and receivers for best performance.
3. Many TTL flashes have been tested but the manufacture cannot guarantee that all
third party TTL flashes will function properly with the Phottix Odin II. It has been
designed and optimized for original canon flashes using the ETTL II/ETTL system.
4. Turn of all devices-flashes/strobes, camera, and the Phottix Odin II transmitter
and receivers when connecting and disconnecting the devices.

button again to disable the HSS function and switch to first curtain
sync.
High Speed Continuous Shooting
Using the Phottix Odin II will result in slower continuous high speed shooting than
can be achieved when using a flash directly on the camera. There are differences in
metering between the Phottix Odin system related to groups and the pre-flashes than
Canon’s native system.
Note:
1. High speed continuous shooting function cannot be set on the Odin II transmitter.
2. High speed continuous shooting function needs to e set on camera. Refer to your
camera manual for specific menu settings.
AF Assist Light
In low light/contrast situation, you can enable the AF assist light on transmitter by
setting custom function. The transmitter’s built-in Auto Focus Assist Light will
illuminate to assist with AF. The AF Assist Light on the front of the transmitter will
project a focusing target on the subject. As laser light, the AF assist light is featured
less decay, good directionality and assist performance.
Note: The laser AF assist light is safe with optical power less than 5mW. Please avoid
pointing the light at human eyes.
ODS Functions
When shooting with a strobe light (IGBT controlled light in particular) in HSS mode,
adjusting the ODS value properly will in some way help with a high speed sync issue.
You can set the ODS value in the custom function.
The ODS function’s performance varies with camera models, working modes of
strobes and the flash duration times. What works with one brand and model and
studio light may not work with another.
Note:
1. Please only use the ODS function for irregular situation. Set it to default when not
using the function.
2. When the shooting conditions are changed, please reset the ODS value.
Shortcut Keys
