6. Timer Schedule Shooting
The JY-710-C1 offers advanced timer functions for automated shooting sequences. Use the navigation buttons on the transmitter to select and adjust parameters.
6.1 Setting Parameters
The transmitter's LCD displays various parameters: DELAY, LONG (exposure time), INTNL (interval), and N (number of shots). Use the SET button to enter editing mode and the arrow buttons to adjust values.
- DELAY (Timer Delay): Sets the delay before the first shot. Range: 0s to 99hrs 59min 59s.
- LONG (Exposure Time): Sets the duration of each exposure. Range: 0s to 99hrs 59min 59s. This is used for BULB exposures.
- INTNL (Interval): Sets the time between each shot. Range: 1s to 99hrs 59min 59s.
- N (Number of Shots): Sets the total number of photos to be taken. Range: 1 to 399, or '--' for unlimited.
