This function requires the use of a separately purchased shutter release cable for
connection between the transceiver and camera. This cable is NOT included in the V6
II transceiver package.
15.1 Basic Setup

A minimum of two Cactus V6 II transceivers is required to operate Cactus V6 II as a
wireless shutter release.
1. Connect the V6 II RX to your camera using an appropriate shutter release cable.
2. Set both the V6 II TX and RX to the same channel. On the V6 II TX, activate the
group assigned to the V6 II RX.
3. Half-press on the TX to test the auto focus. The status LED on both the TX
and RX will turn ORANGE to indicate auto focus. Press completely on the
TX for shutter release. The status LED on both transceivers will turn GREEN to
indicate shutter release.
15.2 Bulb Mode
1. Set the camera to Bulb.
2. Press completely and hold on the V6 II TX. The status LED on the V6 II TX
and V6 II RX will turn green at first and go off after approximately 2 seconds. The
LCD display will show <BULB MODE ON>.
3. Release on the V6 II TX. The camera’s shutter is now in a continuous open
state.
4. To close the camera’s shutter, press completely and release on the V6 II TX
again. The green status LED on both the TX and RX will blink simultaneously.
15.3 Relay Mode: Camera S Flash

The relay mode in the V6 series is an economic solution for coordinating the wireless
shutter release with flash trigger systems. With relay capability, you need only 3
transceivers to wirelessly control both the camera and a flash unit at one time.
1. Make sure that all the V6 II units are set to the same channel.
2. Set the V6 II that you would like to use as the handheld remote as TX, then all
others as RX.
