With flash, you have two sources of light, ambient and the flash. For indoors, set your flash on TTL, your camera in Manual mode, ISO 400, F4.5, and shutter at 1/200. The TTL feature on the flash will shut it off when proper exposure is reached on the subject. The high shutter speed reduces the effect of ambient light on the subject.

I have a Nikon and Mitros flash, the flashes are set for TTL. The Nikon has a transceiver set for TTL. I usually set the Odin transmitter to M for each flash. I then change the pwr from there. If taking portraits I set 1/125 shutter speed and an f5.6 aperature. I then adjust the pwr at the Odin to get the exposure I want. Scott Kelby has a great in detailed training on this. Unfortunately the info with the Odin is not clear. Once I talked to customer support I'm happy with the system. It's never failed. Changing flash pwr at the camera for multiple flashes beats running around to each flash.

Do you have the Mitros + flash?

It's hard to advise you unless you indicate exactly what transmitter, flash unit(s) and camera you're using. Are the flash units the same brand as the transmitter? Generally, this sounds like the pieces are not compatible. I use remote controlled flash all the time, with speedlights (Nikon) and studio flash and a couple of different controllers depending on the exact equipment being used and the setup. Initial setup, at least the first time, may take some work. Best of luck.

That may be great for you, but what does that have to do with this thread?

Please Note: After adding turning on the Phottix
Odin TCU and receivers you must take one photograph
for the TCU to “learn” about your camera and flashes.
The first shot you take will not be properly exposed.
Subsequent images will be correct. Any changes in
mode or camera will also affect exposure. Restart the
Odin Transmitter when changes are made.
Slave mode does not need to be set on flashes on Phottix
Odin receivers, but flashes need to be set in TTL mode.
Ensure there is a good hot shoe connection between
the TCU and camera, and flashes and receiver for best
performance.
Many TTL flashes have been tested but the manufacturer
cannot guarantee that all third party TTL flashes will
function properly with the Phottix Odin. It has been
designed and optimized for original Canon flashes using
the ETTL II system. Issues with third party flashes will not
be supported.
Tip: Turn off all devices – flashes/strobes, cameras, and
the Phottix Odin TCU and receivers - when connecting
and disconnecting devices.
Notes on camera LCD and Menu
When using the Phottix Odin TCU and Receiver make
sure wireless flash functions are not selected on the
camera menus. The Odin overrides certain Canon
wireless flash functions, enabling and changing option
on the camera may limit use of second certain sync and
flash zoom functions. For best performance do not make
changes to functions in the camera flash menus.
Upgrading firmware by USB
The firmware of the TCU and receivers can be upgraded
using the included USB cable. Any upgrades and full
instructions will be announced on the Phottix Blog
(journal.phottix.com).
