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 flashes.

The first shot you take will not be properly exposed. Subsequent images will be
correct.

Slave mode does not need to be set on flashes on Phottix Odin receivers.

Many TTL flashes have been tested but the manufacturer cannot guarantee that
all third party TTL flashes will function properly with the Phottix Odin. It has been
designed and optimized for original Canon flashes using the ETTL II system.

Tip: Turn off all devices – flashes/strobes, cameras, and the Phottix Odin TCU
and receivers - when connecting and disconnecting devices.

The firmware 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
