Note: Before using the Phottix Laso TTL Flash
Trigger for Canon, please read this instruction manual carefully, while also referring to the instruction manuals of your camera, ash and other relevant devices.
Phottix Laso Wireless Trigger for Canon Transmitter
The Phottix Laso Transmitter is used for wireless ash shooting. It can control up to 5 groups (15 units) of radio-enabled Canon Speedlites, as well as non-wireless Canon ETTL Speedlites by using the Phottix Laso Receiver. The Transmitter supports multiple ash modes and shooting
approaches including E-TTL II/E-TTL, Manual, MULTI, Ext.A and Linked Shooting.
Warnings
1. This product is a precise electronic instrument. Do not expose to damp environments or dust.
2. Please shut down the power of all devices when installing the wireless trigger.
3. Do not drop or crush.
4. Do not use the wireless trigger in ammable, explosive or high temperature environments.
5. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the body. Use a soft cloth or lens paper.

6. Remove batteries from the wireless trigger if not being used for an extended period.
7. Interference: The Phottix Laso wireless trigger transmits radio signals at 2.4GHz. Its performance can be aected by electrical current, magnetic elds, radio signals, wireless routers, cellular phones, and other electronic devices. Environmental objects, such as large buildings or walls, trees, fences, or cars can also aect transmission performance. If your wireless trigger can’t be triggered, move its location slightly.
Rules. Operation is subject to the followingtwo conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or Transmitter.

Remote Release from Slave Unit
When performing wireless shooting, Phottix Laso Transmitter supports remote release (remote control shooting) from a ash set or Phottix Laso Receiver as a slave unit. For operations, see the ash or Phottix Laso Receiver’s instruction manual.
Note:
When using the remote release function, the slave unit camera might need a shutter release cable (available separately) depending on the camera models.
1) EOS digital cameras since 2012 (excluding EOS 1200D) do not need to use shutter release cable.
2) EOS cameras before 2012, which are compatible with E-TTL II/E-TTL autoash and come with N3 type remote terminal EOS, a shutter release cable will be needed for remote release.

IV. Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio Transmission
Note:
The Transmitter attached to the camera is called the master unit, and a ash that is wirelessly controlled is called the slave unit.
Wireless Flash Shooting
Using a Transmitter and Canon radio-enabled Speedlites makes it easy to shoot with advanced wireless multiple ash lighting, in the same way as normal E-TTL II/E-TTL auto ash shooting.
The settings of the Transmitter attached to the camera (master) are automatically reected on the ash that is wirelessly controlled (slave). You do not need to operate the slave unit while shooting. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II/ETTL autoash shooting just by setting the master unit to ETTL mode.
You can choose to perform autoash shooting using one slave unit only, or perform wireless multiple ash shooting using two or more(up to 15) slave units.
21
The slave units can be radio-enabled speedlites and set on slave mode, and also other Canon ETTL ashes non-radio-enabled by using with the Phottix Laso Receiver.

Note:
1) When using the Phottix Laso
Receiver as slave unit, restrictions will apply to parts of its functions and operations. For details, see the

instruction manual of Phottix Laso
Receiver
2) When performing radio transmission wireless ash shooting, restrictions may apply to the ash mode, maximum ash sync speed (referred to below as the “ash sync speed”) and high-speed sync function, depending on the camera used.
Wireless Settings
To perform wireless shooting, set the Phottix Laso Transmitter (master unit) and ash (slave unit) with the following procedure.
1. Master unit setting: Check that is displayed.
2. Slave unit setting: For the slave unit setting, see the ash or Receiver’s instruction manual.
3. Transmission Channel/Wireless Radio ID Settings: To avoid interference with wireless multiple ash systems using radio transmission that are used by other photographers or with other devices that use radio waves (wireless), you can change the transmission channel and wireless radio ID.
Use the following procedures to set the master unit’s transmission channel and wireless radio ID. Set the same channel and ID for both the master unit and slave unit. For the slave unit settings, see the ash’s instruction manual.

1.1 Set the ash as the slave unit: For the slave unit setting, see the ash or the Phottix Laso Set A, B or C as the ring group. If set to D or E, the ash does not re.
1.2 Check the channel and ID: If the channels and IDs of the master unit and slave unit are dierent, set them to exactly the same number.

When the recycling of all the ash units is completed, the master units’ charge lamp lights on.
1.6 Check the operation: Press the master unit’s test ash button (charge lamp). The slave unit ash will re. If not, check that it is placed within range.
1.7 Take the picture: Set the camera and take the picture, in the same way as with
28
normal ash shooting. If a standard ash exposure was obtained, the ash exposure conrmation lamp lights up (blue) for 2 sec.
2. Autoash Shooting Using Multiple Slave Unit
When you need more ash output you can increase the number of slave units and re them as a single ash. To add slave units, use the same procedure as “ Autoash Shooting Using One Slave Unit”. Set A, B or C as the ring group. The ash will not re if it is set to D or E. When the number of the slave units is increased, automatic control is performed to re all ashes at the same ash output and ensure that the total ash output results in standard exposure.
Using Fully Automatic Wireless Flash
Flash exposure compensation and other settings set on the Phottix Laso Transmitter (master unit) will be automatically set in the ash (slave). You don’t need to operate the slave unit.

Gr: Shooting with a Dierent Flash Mode for Each Group
When using an EOS digital camera released
since 2012, you can shoot with a dierent ash mode set for each ring group, with up to 5 groups(A/B/C/D/E).
The ash modes that can be set are E-TTL II/
E-TTL autoash, external ash metering. When the ash mode
or , exposure is controlled to result
is in standard exposure for the main subject as
a single group. The function is for advanced users.

Linked Shooting
Linked shooting is a function that automatically releases the shutter of a slave unit camera by linking it to a master unit camera. You can shoot with linked shooting for up to 16 units, including both master units and slave units. This is convenient when you want to shoot a subject from multiple angles at the same time.
To shoot with linked shooting, attach Phottix Laso Transmitters to the cameras. Besides, you can choose to use Canon Speedlites that support radio transmission wireless shooting

Noted:
1.When using the linked shooting function, the slave unit camera might need a shutter release cable(available separately) depending on the camera models.
1) EOS digital cameras since 2012 (excluding EOS 1200D) do not need to use shutter release cable.
2) EOS cameras before 2012, which are compatible with E-TTL II/E-TTL autoash and come with N3 type remote
terminal EOS, shutter release cable will be needed for linked shooting.
2. Shooting with manual focus is recommended for the slave unit cameras. If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, linked shooting is not possible with the corresponding slave unit cameras.

ETTL:全自动无线闪光拍摄
使用安装在相机上的Phottix Laso 发射器(主 控)和受无线控制的闪光灯(从属)时的基 本全自动无线拍摄。
1. 使用一个从属单元的自动闪光拍摄
1.1 将闪光灯设为从属单元:有关从属单 元设置,请参见闪光灯或 Phottix Laso 接收器的使用说明书。将闪光组设为 A、 B 或 C,如果设为 D 或 E,闪光灯不会闪光。
1.2 检查频道和 ID: 如果主控单元和从 属单元的频道和 ID 不同,将其设为相同 的号码。
84
1.3 定位相机和闪光灯: 相机和闪光灯
之间的距离不要超过无线电传输距离。
1.4 将闪光模式设为 <
单元上的 < 置为 < 拍摄期间,从属闪光灯自动设为 < >。如从属单元使用 Phottix Laso接收器, 接收器上的闪光灯无需设为从属模式, 但必须将手动闪光灯设置成 ETTL 模式。
1.5 检查传输状态和闪光灯是否已就绪:

1.6 检查操作:按主控单元的测试闪光按 钮(充电指示灯),从属单元闪光,如 果从属单元不闪光,检查是否将其放置 在操作范围内。
1.7 拍摄照片:按照与使用普通闪光拍摄 相同的方法设定相机并拍摄照片。如果 获得了标准的闪光曝光,闪光曝光确认 指示灯将点亮(蓝色)2 秒。
2. 使用多个从属单元的自动闪光拍摄 当需要更大的闪光输出或想要更加轻松地
进行照明时,可以增加从属单元的数量并将 其作为单个闪光灯闪光。要添加从属单元, 使用与“使用一个从属单元的自动闪光拍
摄”相同的步骤。将闪光组设为 A、B 或 C, 如果设为 D 或 E,闪光灯不会闪光。当增 加了从属单元的数量时,执行自动控制以使 所有闪光灯以相同的闪光输出闪光并确保 总闪光输出能够达到标准曝光。
