Interval
hours:minutes:seconds
The amount of time between shots in hours,
minutes and seconds.
# Shots (0=Inf)
Numeric value between
0000 and 9999
The total number of intervals that will be
done. Setting this to 0 will take keep taking
shots until this mode is exited or the Camera
Axe runs out of batteries.
Bulb (sec)
Numeric value between
000.0 and 999.9
How long the camera/flash will be triggered
during each interval. Many Cameras have a
minimum duration for this triggering.
HDR Stops
Numeric value between
0 and 9
This determines the number of “extra”
shots that are taken during an interval. For
example, a value of 0 will take one shot
during each interval. A value of 2 will take
three shots during each interval. The “HDR”
is accomplished by doubling the bulb time for
each shot (see the example below). For this
mode to work your camera must be in “bulb”
mode.
Mirror Lockup
Yes
No
This adds another shutter trigger for each
shot. To use this your camera must support
mirror lockup and have that setting enabled.
The camera is triggered to raise the mirror
and then two seconds later (to allow the
vibration to settle) there is another shutter
trigger to take the shot. This works with the
camera in mirror lockup mode for cameras
that require two shutter presses to take the
shot in mirror lockup mode. In this mode, the
mirror lockup shutter trigger is ½ second plus
the 1.5 second delay.
An example of how this might be used:
Parameter

Start Delay
00:00:05
Interval
00:01:00
# Shots (0=Inf)
2
Bulb (sec)
001.0

Mirror Lockup
No
This would trigger a total of 8 shots. The first one would be after 5 seconds with a 1 second shutter
