FP High Speed Sync
The Odin II is capable of FP High Speed Sync Functions, shutter speeds up to
1/8000s, when used with cameras and ashes that support this function.
FP high speed sync cannot be set on Odin II. FP mode must be set on the
camera. Consult your camera manual for more information.
Second Curtain Sync (Rear Curtain Sync)
Second Curtain Sync will re the ash at the end of an exposure, not at the
beginning. This can be combined with longer exposures for creative eects.
Second curtain sync cannot be set on Odin II. Second Curtain Sync must be set
on the camera. Consult your camera manual for more information.
High Speed Burst Function
When using Odin II, ash burst speed (with a remote ash) might be slower
than with a ash on the camera’s hot shoe. Please set this function in your
camera. For setting details, please consult the your camera manual.
Built-in AF assist illuminator
The Odin II TCU features a built-in AF Assist illuminator for use in low
light / low contrast conditions. The AF Assist will project a focusing
target allowing for easier focus in many situations. This Illuminator
can be set to ON or OFF in the Odin II Menu (see below). The default
setting of the AF Assist Illuminator is being set to OFF.
Note:The Odin II TCU uses an eye-safe laser light with beam power less
than 5mW. For safety, use precautions when using the AF Assist Illuminator,
and avoid shining directly into subjects’ eyes.
ODS Function
The Odin II TCU is capable of adjusting ash triggering times to enable
shooting at higher sync speeds with some studio ashes (especially those with
IGBT circuitry). The ODS (OverDrive Sync) mode allows delaying and advancing
the ash trigger point to optimized ash exposure for high shutter speeds with
various ash and camera combinations. The ODS setting is set in the Odin II’s
Menu.
The actual success of ODS is dependent on the specications and capabilities
of the ash and camera systems beijng used. Camera with shutters that have
a slower traverse speeds may achieve little or no improvement. Studio ashes
with short burst durations or used at lower than maximum power level could
produce uneven or incomplete illumination. ODS is strictly a trial and error
process by the user. Phottix oers no tech support for this function.
Please Note:
1.Reset the ODS value to default when not being used.
