5.2 Trigger and Strobe
There is a bug in the single A/B trigger mode in some camera revisions (see Ap-
pendix B). In this case when the encoder position moves back and forth by a
small amount, the EncoderCounter is incremented and the decrement is some-
times omitted, leading to a wrong EncoderPosition indication in the camera.
Therefore the single A/B trigger mode should not be used in the affected ver-
sions. To have the same behaviour as the single trigger mode, but without the
bug, use the double A/B mode and double the value of
ABTriggerDivider .
