The latest firmware may well have addressed some issues I was not impacted by, but it certainly has not addressed those I have been annoyed by
Version 1.07 for Canon has not addressed the following with respect to TTL control accuracy
1 Inconsistency of power setting changes across the power range.
2. increasing the Total Stop Change across the power range from 5.5 to 7.0 stops
The following issues remain when the Mitros+ is used as an off camera Flash
1. Little or no change occurs between 1/1 power and 1/2
2. From then on each power setting is in fact 1 stop higher than that selected via the TTL transmitter. ( 1/4 is in fact 1/2 etc).
3. The total stop variation across the range is only 5.5 stops where it should be 7 and the variation between one setting to another is too inconsistent relative to the native canon guns when triggered the same way.
The new version has however, based on replicated tests, throttled back power by 1/2 -2/3 of a stop relative to the previous version, which is probably related to the OH management objective.
Additional testing has also solved the FEC anomaly. In short I was wrong and the Mitros + FEC function does perform as expected in real \"live\" TTL flash situations. The testing environment was the problem......sort of.......it differs between the Canon and Phottix guns!
I will still wait for firmware changes that address the remaining issues and keep this thread updated.
I will leave it to MRomine and others to keep us informed of improvements to the Nikon version from the latest round of firmware releases, particularly the recycle times and OH protect
