Because the room is dark, the long exposure time will not have any effect
on the final output. The flash light duration now becomes the actual
exposure time. The main advantage of the flash method is the exposure
speed and better timing consistency. Electronic flashes are capable of
light strobes with durations of 1/10,000 or faster (lower the power setting of
the flash, the shorter the flash duration).
The lag between the trigger and the flash strobe is insignificant. The
disadvantage of this method is that the picture needs to be taken in a dark
room to avoid the over exposure. Also since the flash is used to make the
exposure, it may be more difficult to provide a uniform lighting or to
illuminate the background.

Caution
:
Laser beam is dangerous. Avoid eye contact. Use the laser source
at your own risk.
In laser mode, Pluto Trigger uses its light sensor to detect the laser beam.
Whenever the laser beam is broken, Pluto fires the camera. The response
time is about tens of micro-seconds, which is very fast.
