An individual’s trigger finger
is not fast enough to detect
and capture lightning as it
strikes. With your Vello
FreeWave Stryker in lightning
triggering mode, your camera
will automatically activate
your camera’s shutter within
approximately 0.1 milliseconds
of the trigger detecting a
flash or burst of light.
LIGHTNING TRIGGERING
For operation in lightning
mode, point the device’s
sensor and camera in the
direction of where you’re
expecting a lightning flash.
Attach the camera and trigger
to a tripod for best results. We
recommend turning the trigger
on before the camera after
the two have been connected
with a cable. Additionally, your
camera’s shutter speed should
be set to a longer exposure.
To activate lightning triggering
mode, move the mode switch
to “Lightning”. For best
results, start at a 10 second
exposure & adjust your
camera’s exposure settings
while adjusting the Stryker’s
sensitivity using the dial on the
left side of the unit. Set your
camera / lens to manual focus.
