3. Powering On

Turn on both the transmitter and the receiver using their respective ON/OFF buttons. The receiver's LED will blink red initially, then periodically blink green to indicate it is active and paired.

Operating Modes

The WTR-2 offers various shooting modes and timer functions. Use the MODE button on the transmitter to cycle through the main shooting modes (S, C, B, 2S) and the TIMER button to access timer settings.

Shutter Release Modes

• S (Single Shot): Takes a single photo with each full press of the shutter button.
• C (Continuous Shooting): Takes multiple photos as long as the shutter button is held down.
• B (Bulb Mode): Keeps the shutter open for as long as the shutter button is pressed, ideal for long exposures.
• 2S (2-Second Delay): Takes a single photo after a 2-second delay.

Timer Functions

The WTR-2 provides advanced timer settings for precise control over your photography. Press the TIMER button to access these functions. Use the arrow keys to navigate and the SET button to confirm.

• DELAY (Self-Timer): Sets a delay before the first exposure. Adjustable in 0.1-second increments.
• LONG (Long Exposure Timer): Sets the duration of the shutter opening for long exposures, especially useful in Bulb mode. Adjustable in 0.1-second increments.
• INTVL (Interval Timer): Sets the time interval between consecutive shots for time-lapse photography. Adjustable in 0.1-second increments.
• N (Number of Exposures): Sets the total number of photos to be taken in a sequence.
• BKLN (Bracketed Exposure): Automatically triggers a sequence of 3, 5, or 7 bracketed exposures for HDR photography.

Example: Time-Lapse Photography

To set up a time-lapse sequence:

1. Set the DELAY to your desired initial delay (e.g., 10 seconds).
2. Set the LONG exposure time (if applicable, otherwise set to 0).
3. Set the INTVL (interval) between shots (e.g., 10 seconds).
4. Set the N (number of exposures) (e.g., 120 shots for a 1-hour time-lapse with 30-second intervals).
