Battery and Charger

• The Modus 600RT uses a lithium ion battery HLX-MD1 and it must be charged before use
• Use only the MD1 MKII charger to charge the battery
• Remove battery from charger when charging is finished and disconnect charger from mains

A fully charged battery will offer approx 500 flashes 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 battery from the charger or the speedlight and store battery in a cool and dry place. Exposing the battery to higher temperature 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 age of battery pack. Replace the battery pack when the flash cycle time becomes longer or the number of flashes reduces noticeably. The battery lifetime can vary substantially depending on storage, operation conditions and exposure to unsuitable environmental conditions

B

Caution

• Do not short circuit the battery
• Do not drop battery into water or fire
• 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 to housing and dispose of 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 ON/OFF Power Switch to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Setting as a master flash, 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 flash button will wake up the flash unit. Setting as a slave flash, it will enter sleep mode after a certain period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any flash button will wake it up.

C.Fn Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended when the flash is used off camera. (C.Fn-APO)

C.Fn Slave Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by default. Another option "30 minutes" is available. (C.Fn-Sv APOT, Page 46)

Flash Mode - E-TTL Autoflash

This flash has three flash modes: E-TTL, Manual (M), and MULTI (Stroboscopic). In E-TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, FEB, FEL, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash. These can be controlled with the Modus 600RT or with the camera's menu screen.

Optical O1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual flash mode, press button so that this flash can function as an optical O1 secondary flash using its optical sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when a second main flash fires. This is the same effect as using a radio trigger to fire the flash off camera. This helps create multiple lighting effects.

Optical O2 Secondary Unit Setting

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

01 and 02 optic triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.

Flash Mode: Multi (Stroboscopic Flash)

With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec.expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output power.

6. Press the < Hz >
7. Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash firing frequency
   • After you finish the setting, press button and all the settings will be displayed.

Calculating the Shutter Speed

During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing 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 flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.

• To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash 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 flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes' rest for the speedlight
- Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background
• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
- A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash
- Stroboscopic flash can be used with "buLb"
- If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:

(2.4GHz) Control

Master/Slave wireless flash lighting

When the camera's shooting mode is set to a fully automatic mode or an Image Zone mode, the operations in this chapter are not available. Set the camera's shooting mode to P/Tv/Av/M/B (Creative Zone Mode).

- 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 hotsho

Using (Master/Slave) with wireless 2.4GHz control function allows you to easily perform shooting with advanced wireless multiple flash lighting in the same way as E-TTL II autoflash photography. The system is designed so that the setting's 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

Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting)

• Master/Slave wireless flash lighting

SLAVE MASTER 2.4GHz wireless control with up to 100m range

Wireless multiple flash shooting

You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform E-TTL II autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups.

• Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups

Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless shooting using optical control, such as being less affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit's wireless sensor toward the master unit. The main functional differences are as follows:

Function	Radio Control Optical Control
Distance	100m	15m
Channel	DCM	1~4
A/B/C Power	OFF, 1/128~1/1	1/128~1/1
Interference	Hard	Easy
Group	A/B/C/D/E	A/B/C

There are four flash modes in wireless radio control: TTL, M, Multi and Gr. Choose one of these modes by pressing the MODE Button.

When stronger flash 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 flash with a single slave unit" (Page 23). Any slave speedlight can be set as group (A/B/C).

When the number of slave units is increased or the master flash firing is set to ON, automatic control is performed to fire all flashes at the correct flash output to ensure that the total flash output results in the standard exposure.

If the slave unit's auto power off takes effect, press the master unit's test flash button to turn on the slave unit. Note that the test flash 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 46)

This product supports optical control wireless flash applications and functions as either a master or a slave unit. As a master unit, it can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT optically. As a slave unit, it can receive optical signals from Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT and from Canon cameras built in flashes in wireless mode e.g. 7D/60D/600D.

• You can set up one, two or three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.
• Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on the master unit will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit to ETTL mode without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.
• This flash can work in ETTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master unit.

Center	0.6~10m / 2.0~32.8 feet
Periphery	0.6~5m / 2.0~16.4 feet

Bounce Flash

By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce flash.

To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to the required angle.

-7.90° 300°

If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure.

- The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may appear in the picture.

Catchlight

With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject's eyes to add life to the facial expression.
