• Continuous Shooting: Press and hold the shutter button for continuous shots.
• Bulb Exposure: For long exposures, press the shutter button once to open the shutter, and press again to close it. This mode is ideal for capturing light trails or astrophotography.

2. Timer Functions

The WTR2 features advanced timer capabilities for precise control over your photography. All timer settings can be adjusted with 0.1-second accuracy.

• Delay Timer (DELAY): Sets a delay before the first shot is taken.
• Long Exposure Timer (LONG): Specifies the duration of the shutter opening for long exposures (in seconds).
• Interval Timer (INTVL): Defines the time between consecutive shots in a sequence.
• Number of Exposures (N): Sets the total number of photos to be taken in a timed sequence.
• Bracketed Long Exposure (BKLN): This function allows the camera to take a series of photos with automatically changing exposure times. It is particularly useful for creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in low-light conditions.
