Pluto Trigger - Manual (Page 16)

1. While holding down the depth of field preview button (DOF Preview)
press the lens release button. The aperture blades will be closed down to
your selected aperture.
2. Now while holding down both buttons twist the lens as if you were
removing it. The twist should be a very small turn. You should now see a
“00” where your aperture information used to be.
3. Take a few pictures to make sure you do not get an error. Re-attach the
lens and try again if you get an error.
NOTE 3 : If your camera is set at an angle, and your lens is prone to
unexpected zoom/focus changes due to gravity, you may want to use
scotch tape to fix the zoom/focus rings. On ultrasonic lenses focus setting
will not move, but zoom setting may change.

ANAGEMENT
Your camera battery may not be able to withstand a long term Time-Lapse
without being powered by an AC adapter. However, you can minimize
camera power draw by enabling automatic meter-off timeout in your
camera settings. The camera will then go to sleep between Time-Lapse
shots. When needed, Pluto Trigger will wake it up and continue its work.
With a properly chosen camera meter time-out, you may be able to run
hundreds of frames through your camera before its battery is depleted.
You can turn off Bluetooth module of Pluto Trigger after a long Time-Lapse
sequence has been started. Just press and hold the shutter release button
on Pluto Trigger for 5 seconds. The downside is that you will not be able to
check the progress of the Time-Lapse sequence.
If you plan on running Time-Lapse sequences for more than a day, you
may want to power your Pluto Trigger from the USB charger. Unlike camera,
