Please Note: The Phottix Atlas' hot shoe connection is designed to fire
speedlight-type flashes that are triggered by the center contact. Some flashes (by
Nissin, Sigma, and other manufacturers) are not triggered by the center hot shoe
contact but by specific secondary contacts. Please check your flash manual for
specifics. These flashes can be fired by PC Sync if available. The Atlas is
designed to work in Manual Exposure mode and no TTL functions.
Tip: Turn off all devices – flashes/strobes, cameras, and Phottix Atlas
transceivers- when connecting and disconnecting devices.
