Battery and Charger

• The HLX-MD1 battery must be charged before use.

• Use the supplied MD1 MKII charger to charge the

battery.

• Remove battery from charger when charging is nished and disconnect charger from mains

A fully charged battery will offer approx 500 ashes at full power and even more when power level is reduced. The composition and construction of the MD1 battery pack offers very reliable and fast refresh time for the speedlight.

How to store the battery

When not in use remove the battery from the charger or the speedlight and store the battery in a cool and dry place. Exposing the battery to higher temperatures can shorten the lifetime of the battery. Store the battery almost empty (one bar in the battery level indicator) when not used for a long period of time. For optimum battery life, use battery regularly and if not used for more than 6 months, charge the battery fully and use it with the Modus 600RT until the battery level is down to 1 bar again before

storage.

Battery Lifetime

The lifetime of a recharable battery is limited. The capacity will drop progressively with use and the age of the battery pack. Replace the battery pack when the ash cycle time becomes longer or the number of ashes reduces noticeably. The battery lifetime can vary substantially

depending on storage, operation conditions and exposure

to unsuitable enviormental conditions

14 Modus 600RT

Caution

• Do not short circuit the battery

• Do not drop the battery into water or re

• Do not drop or dismantle or subject the batteries to

strong impact or continuous mechanical shock

• Stop using the battery if the battery has any signs of damage or bulging the to housing and dispose of the battery in accordance with the appropriate local

regulations

How to charge the battery

The HLX-MD1 battery must be charged before use. Use the supplied MD1 MKII charger to charge the battery. Connect the MD1 MKII charger to a USB adapter (min 5V 2 Amp) with the supplied Micro USB Cable . To start the charge insert the HLX-MD1 battery into the MD1 MKII charger and the green LED bars will illuminate, indicating that the battery is charging. 4 green LED’s on indicates full charge. Remove the battery from charger when fully charged.

Power Management

Use the ON/OFF Power Switch to power the ash unit on or off. Switch off if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Set as a master ash, it will turn the power off automatically after a certain period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing the camera shutter halfway or pressing any ash button will wake up the ash unit. Set as a slave ash, it will enter sleep mode after a certain period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any ash button will wake it up.

Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended

when the ash is used off camera. (C.Fn-APO)

Slave Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by

default. Another option “30 minutes” is available. (C.Fn-

Sv APOT, Page 42)

Modus 600RT 17

Flash Mode - TTL Autoash

This ash has three ash modes: TTL, Manual (M), and MULTI (Stroboscopic). In TTL mode, the camera and the

ash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, HSS & second curtain sync, modeling ash. These can be controlled with the Modus 600RT or with the camera’s menu screen.

* Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button and three ash modes will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.

TTL Mode Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button to enter TTL mode. The LCD panel will display TTL.

• Press the camera release button halfway to focus. The aperture and effective ash range will be displayed in

the LCD panel.

• When the shutter button is fully pressed, the ash will

re a preash which the camera will use to calculate the correct ash output power the instant before the photo

is taken.

FEC: Flash Exposure Compensation

With FEC function, you can adjust the calculated level

from -3 to +3 in 1/3 stops. It is useful in situations where minor adjusting of the TTL system is needed based on the lighting environment.

Optical O1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual ash mode, press <O1/O2> button so that this ash can function as an optical O1 secondary ash using its optical sensor. With this function, the ash will re synchronously when a second main ash res. This is the same effect as usng a radio trigger to re the ash off camera. This helps create multiple lighting effects.

Optical O2 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual ash mode, press <O1/O2> button so that this ash can function as an optical O2 secondary ash using its optical sensor. With this function, the ash will re synchronously when a second main ash res as in O1 but it will ignore the metering pre-ash and re only in response to the exposure ash from the main unit.

Calculating the Shutter Speed

During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains open until the ring stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it on the camera.

Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed

For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2

seconds.

• To avoid overheating and deteriorating the ash head,

do not use stroboscopic ash more than 10 times in

succession

• After 10 times, allow the speedlight to rest for at least 15

minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic ash more than 10 times in succession, the ring might stop automatically to protect the ash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes’ rest for the speedlight

• Stroboscopic ash is most effective with a highly reective subject against a dark background

• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.

• A ash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic

ash

• Stroboscopic ash can be used with“buLb”

• If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the ring

will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of ashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

22 Modus 600RT

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:

If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the maximum number of ashes will be as shown in the following table regardless of the ash frequency.

Wireless Flash

Photography:

Master/Slave wireless ash lighting

• The “Modus 600RT” attached to the Camera Hot shoe is called the “Master” unit. A second “Modus 600RT” which is wirelessly controlled is called the “Slave” unit

• You can also wirelessly control the Modus 600RT as a “Slave” unit using a “Viper TTL” transmitter as a “Master” unit attached to the camera hotshoe

Using (Master/Slave) with wireless 2.4GHz control function allows you to easily perform shooting with advanced wireless multiple ash lighting in the same way as TTL autoash photography. The system is designed so that the settings of the “Master” attached to the camera are automatically applied to the wireless slave speedlights.

Therefore you do not need to operate or adjust the slaves during shooting

Modus 600RT 29

Using Automatic Wireless Flash

with Multiple Slave Units

When stronger ash output or more convenient lighting operation is needed, increase the number of slave speedlight’s. To add slave units, use the same steps as

setting “automatic wireless ash with a single slave

unit” (Page 28). Any slave speeedlight can be set as group (A/B/C).

When the number of slave units is increased or the master ash ring is set to ON, automatic control is performed to re all ashes at the correct ash output to ensure that the total ash output results in the standard

exposure.

• If the slave units auto power off takes effect, press the

master unit’s test ash button to turn on the slave unit. Note that the test ash cannot be performed while the camera’s metering timer, etc. is operating

• The slave units auto power off setting can be changed (C.Fn-Sv / APOT page 42)

• In the C.Fn settings you can enable a beeper to sound when a Modus 600RT is recharged and ready to re again

Advanced setting with fully automatic wireless ash

With the wireless system the following functions set on the master unit will automatically be adjusted on the slave

unit. For this reason you do not need to operate the slave

unit (s) and can operate it from the master in the same way as normal ash photography.
