Operating Instructions

The JJC TM-R offers several shooting modes. Use the directional pad to navigate between settings (DE, BU, INT, N) and adjust values. Press the 'Set' button (center of directional pad) to confirm selections.

Basic Shutter Release

• Press the HOLD button halfway to focus.
• Press the HOLD button fully to trigger the shutter.

Self-Timer (DE - Delay)

This mode allows you to set a delay before the shutter is released.

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Use the directional pad to select the DE (Delay) setting.
3. Adjust the desired delay time (from 0s to 99h 59min 59s) using the Up/Down buttons.
4. Press START/STOP to begin the countdown. The shutter will fire after the set delay.

Long Exposure (BU - Bulb)

For exposures longer than your camera's maximum shutter speed.

1. Set your camera to Bulb mode.
2. On the remote, select the BU (Bulb) setting.
3. Adjust the desired exposure duration (from 0s to 99h 59min 59s).
4. Press START/STOP to open the shutter. The shutter will close after the set duration.
5. Alternatively, press and hold the HOLD button fully, then slide the LOCK switch to keep the shutter open for an indefinite period. Slide LOCK back to release.

Interval Shooting (INT - Interval)

Capture a series of images at regular intervals, ideal for time-lapse photography.

1. Select the INT (Interval) setting.
2. Set the desired interval time (e.g., one exposure every 20s). This is the time between the start of one exposure and the start of the next.
3. Also set the N (Number) of shots you wish to take. Set to '---' for unlimited shots.
4. Press START/STOP to begin the interval sequence.

Combined Modes

The TM-R allows you to combine settings for complex sequences:

• Delay + Interval + Number: Set a delay before the interval sequence begins, then take a specified number of shots at set intervals.
• Delay + Bulb + Interval + Number: Set a delay, then take a specified number of long exposures at set intervals.

Always ensure your camera's settings (e.g., exposure mode, focus) are appropriate for the remote control's programmed sequence.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote control. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery: Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the connecting cable to prevent damage.
