Package Contents

• PHOLSY Timer Intervalometer Transmitter
• PHOLSY Receiver
• Connection Cable (C6 type)
• User Manual

Note: 4 AAA batteries (2 for transmitter, 2 for receiver) are required and not included.

Setup Guide

1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartments on both the transmitter and the receiver units.
2. Insert two AAA batteries into each unit, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery covers securely.

2. Connecting to Camera

1. Attach the receiver unit to your camera's hot shoe. This provides a secure mounting point.
2. Connect one end of the provided C6 connection cable to the receiver unit.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your camera's remote control terminal. Refer to your camera's manual for the exact location of this port.

3. Powering On and Pairing

1. Turn on both the transmitter and receiver units. The LCD on the transmitter should illuminate.
2. The units are pre-paired from the factory. If they do not connect automatically, ensure both are powered on and within range.
3. For wired operation, the transmitter can be directly connected to the camera using the C6 cable, bypassing the receiver.

Operating Modes

The PHOLSY Timer Intervalometer offers various shooting and timer control modes. Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through the main shutter modes and the directional buttons to adjust timer settings.

Shutter Modes

• S (Single Shooting): Takes a single photo each time the shutter button is pressed.
• C (Continuous Shooting): Takes multiple photos as long as the shutter button is held down.
• B (Bulb/Long Exposure): 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: Activates the advanced timer control functions.

Timer Control Settings (in TIMER mode)

When in TIMER mode, you can configure the following settings, adjustable to 0.1-second precision:

• DELAY (Self-timer): Sets a delay before the first shot is taken (00:00:00.1 to 59:59:59.9).
• LONG (Exposure Timer): Sets the duration of the exposure (00:00:00.1 to 59:59:59.9). Useful for precise long exposures.
• INTVL (Interval Timer): Sets the time between consecutive shots (00:00:00.1 to 59:59:59.9). Essential for time-lapse photography.
• N (Number of Frames): Sets the total number of photos to be taken (1-199 or '--' for unlimited).
• BKLN (Auto Bracketing Timed Exposure): Enables automatic bracketing for HDR photography, allowing for 3, 5, or 7 continuous shots with varying exposures.

LCD Display and Controls

The transmitter features an LCD display that provides a visual reference for all settings. It is backlit for use in low-light conditions. Buttons on the transmitter allow for easy navigation and adjustment of parameters.

• MODE Button: Cycles through shutter modes (S, C, B, 2S, TIMER).
• SET Button: Confirms selections and enters setting adjustment mode.
• Directional Buttons (Up/Down/Left/Right): Navigate menus and adjust numerical values.
• Shutter Button: Initiates shooting based on the selected mode and settings.
• ON/OFF Button: Powers the unit on or off.
• Backlight/Lock Button: Toggles the LCD backlight and locks the controls to prevent accidental changes.
