The intervalometer has three modes. “Playback Time Mode”, “Playback Ratio Mode”,
and “Stop Motion Mode”.
-Playback Time Mode
This mode allows you to select a specific time that the head will take to play out a
recorded move.
Adjust the time you wish for the move to be played back. (the playback time selected
must be greater than the move time)
Move the cursor box over “disabled”, and select it. It will then change to “enabled”, and
all moves will be played back according to these settings.
If you have “camera sync” enabled, you can select the number of frames that will be
taken during the selected time. The “Start Frame” setting will allow you to start in the
middle of a take, if you ever need to replay a move, but don’t need to replay if from the
beginning. Setting the “Start Frame” to anything other than one will start the move from
the position that corresponds to the selected frame.
Note: all of these settings will be applied to all recorded moves. If a move has a greater
recorded time than what the intervalometer is set to, the move will not play until the
intervalometer is either disabled, changed to a different mode, or the playback time is
adjusted to be greater than that of the selected take.
-PB Ratio Mode
This mode allows you to change the playback of a move according to the frame rate. The
“Rec FPS” will adjust the invervalometer to record the move at this specified frame rate.
The “Play FPS” will adjust how the move is played back. For example; if a move is
recorded at 30Fps, and the Playback is set to 15Fps, the move will play back at half
speed.
This mode will also allow you to play a move faster than it was recorded. If the Play Fps
is set higher than the Rec Fps, the move will be faster than is was recorded.
-Stop Motion Mode
This mode allows you to play back a move by triggering it frame by frame. This works
much like a “frame mode” on a camera. When this mode is selected, the move will be
scaled down according to the “playback frames”. After you set the number of playback
frames, return to the main menu, and select your desired move, and press the “play”
button. The head will then move to the start position. From now on, each time you press
the “play” button, the head will move to the position that corresponds to the next frame
until the total number of frames is reached.
If “camera sync” is enabled, the head will trigger the shutter each time the “play” button
is pressed.
***You can also adjust the delay between when the shutter is triggered and when the
head moves to the next frame. If you change the intervalometer back to “Playback Time
