4. Mode d'emploi
4.1 Setting Timer Functions
The remote offers four primary timer functions: Delay, Long Exposure, Interval, and Exposure Count. Use the directional buttons and SET button to adjust these settings.
- Délai (DÉLAI) : Sets the time before the first exposure. Adjustable from 1 second to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds in 1-second increments. Ideal for self-portraits or reducing camera shake.
- Longue exposition (LONG) : Sets the duration of the shutter opening. Adjustable from 1 second to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Use for capturing light trails or low-light scenes.
- Intervalle (INTVL) : Sets the time between consecutive exposures. Adjustable from 1 second to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Crucial for time-lapse photography.
- Exposure Count (N): Sets the number of exposures to be taken. Adjustable from 1 to 399, or set to unlimited (indicated by "--").
To adjust a setting, press the ENSEMBLE button to highlight the desired parameter (hours, minutes, or seconds), then use the directional buttons to change the value. Press ENSEMBLE again to confirm and move to the next parameter or exit editing mode.
4.2 Initiating a Sequence
Once all desired timer functions are set, press the TIMER START/STOP button to begin the programmed sequence. The remote will execute the exposures according to your settings.
