Modes of Operation:
- Delay / Self Timer (DELAY):
Set a delay time (in 1-second increments) up to 99 hours, 99 minutes, and 99 seconds before the shutter is released. This is similar to your camera's self-timer function.
- Interval Timer (INTVL):
Program the remote to take exposures at regular intervals, up to 100 hours. For example, setting it to 10 minutes will trigger an exposure every 10 minutes until the exposure count limit is reached or manually stopped.
- BULB / Long Exposure (LONG):
Allows for extended exposure times, up to 100 hours. This mode is ideal for capturing light trails, astrophotography, or time-lapse sequences of slow-changing subjects like blooming flowers.
