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.

Figures displayed when reducing flash output level→

1/1 1/2 1/4	1/1-0.3	1/2-0.3 ----	1/1-0.7	1/2-0.7
	1/2+0.7	1/4+0.7 ----	1/2+	0.3 1/4+0.3

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.

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:

Flash output\Hz	1	2	3	4	5	6-7	8-9
1/4	7	6	5	4	4	3	3

Wireless Flash

Photography:

(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

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

• Auto Shooting with Three Slave Groups

• Shooting with a Different Flash Mode set for Each Group
  

* The flash mode settings are indicated only as an example

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.

Wireless Settings

You can switch between normal flash and wireless flash. For normal flash shooting, be sure to set the wireless setting to OFF

Master Unit Setting

Press < Z button so that < ( ) > and < MASTER > are displayed on the LCD panel.

Slave Unit Setting

Press < Z > button so that < ( ) > and < SLAVE > are displayed on the LCD panel

Master Unit Flash ON/OFF

You can switch ON or OFF the "Master" unit flash that is controlling the wireless "Slave" units. When Master flash is ON, it will flash as group A

• 2. Press Function Button
- < > to control the ON/OFF of the master unit.
- <3> The master unit flash firing is ON.
- < > The master unit flash firing is OFF.

Setting the DCM (Digital Channel Matching)

Initially the Modus 600RT wireless 2.4GHz is set to a general "open channel" and can be used as it is. To avoid interference with other wireless flash systems we recommend to DCM (digital channel match) your Modus 600RT speedlight's and Viper TTL.

Master – Viper TTL or Modus 600RT

1. If you have a Viper TTL, start the DCM matching with the Viper TTL
2. Turn the Viper TTL transmitter whilst holding down the button and release button after 2 seconds
   • The Viper LCD will show
3. If you are not using a Viper TTL and only wish to DCM several Modus 600RT, then use any Modus 600RT as the Master unit
4. Press whilst turning the power to the Modus 600RT
   • A green LCD on the Modus 600RT will show

< MASTER >

Slave - Modus 600RT

1. Press whilst turing power to the slave Modus 600RT

1. A red LCD will show "Slave OK". This slave Modus 600 RT is now DCM matched

2. DCM match the same way, any additional slave Modus 600RT while the Master is still on

Once all slave units are DCM matched, reboot all master and slave's by turning OFF/ON

• Once all devices are DCM matched they will memorize the unique ID even it power is removed. Therefore you only need to DCM your set once
• If you add more speedlights or Viper TTL units to your range then you need to carry out the DCM matching for all your units again

Modus 600 RT - Reset

• To reset the Modus 600RT to factory default settings press function buttons 3 & 4 at the same time and hold until the LCD shows RESET > release the buttons

- When the Modus 600RT is reset the DCM is also reset back to open channel and the previous DCM is lost

ETTL Fully Automatic Wireless Flash Shooting

Basic Automatic Wireless Flash shooting with a Single Slave Unit

1. Master Unit Setting

• Attach a Modus 600RT to the camera and set it as the master unit (Page 27)
• The Viper TTL Transmitter can also be used as a master unit to control the wireless slave Modus 600RT (Page 42)

2. Slave Unit setting

• Set the slave Modus 600RT to setting (Page 27)

3. Position of camera and speedlight

< MODE > button until is displayed

- Check that the slave unit is set automatically to by the master unit

5 Check Master/Slave units are ready

- Check master speedlight, ready indicator is lighting and that the slave flash ready indicators are blinking

6 Check the Master slave speedlight operation

• Press the master unit's <⚡> test button
  • The slave speedlight will flash. If it does not fire, check the position or distance of slave from master
• You are now ready to take a photo with the wireless flash lighting

Using Automatic Wireless Flash with Multiple Slave Units

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)
- In the C.Fn settings you can enable a beeper to sound when a Modus 600RT is recharged and ready to fire again

Advanced setting with fully automatic wireless flash

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 flash photography.

• Flash Exposure Compensation < ± > (Page 18)
• Flash Exposure Bracketing < FEB > (Page 18)
  • Flash Exposure Lock (Page 20)
  • High-Speed Sync < 📣> (Page 20)

ID=A ID=A ID=A

If three slave units are all set to in terms of slave ID, these slave units will be controlled as if they were one camera flash in slave group A.

When setting < RATIO A:B C >, group A, B and C will fire a flash synchronously; when setting < RATIO A:B >, group C will not fire a flash
- If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the main shooting subject, over exposure might occur
- In some EOS film cameras that support E-TTL autoflash, you cannot perform multiple flash wireless shooting with a flash ratio setting

• The flash ratio of 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1 to 1:3 (1/2 step increment).

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.
