release the shutter until the next snapshot event, [2] rapidly auto sequence the shutter, or [3]
hold the shutter button down continuously.
SHUTTER TRIGGER METHODS
There are four ways to take a snapshot.

ONTROL
:
ShutterBug Pro’s 3-wire cable can be plugged
into a spare channel of a model R/C receiver
(not included). Brands such as JR, Futaba,
Hitec, and Airtronics are compatible.
You may use a stick, knob, or switch on your
R/C transmitter. Of course, the R/C receiver’s
unused servo channels are available to you,
too.
Note: If you are using an R/C transmitter with Dual
Rates or End Point mixes, set them to ±100%.

ONTROL
:
Some applications may need to externally trigger a
snapshot using a simple switch interface. ShutterBug
Pro’s 3-wire cable can be controlled by a switch,
relay, or electronic logic signal. The photo on the
right shows how an external switch is wired. When
the orange wire is “grounded,” the shutter is
triggered.
