NOTE

: It is often that the sound of camera shutter may make Pluto to trigger

your camera again and again. This case would require setting the “Trigger
Reset Time” (see Settings chapter) to a bigger value so as to let Pluto stand
by for a while.

NOTE

: If you would like to take photo of high speed object, you should

trigger flash rather than camera. In Flash method, the camera port of Pluto
Trigger is connected to flashgun, and the camera is triggered by sound
with infrared remote, Pluto Trigger should point to the camera. Set your
camera to IR remote mode and shutter speed to about 2 seconds. Choose
the appropriate “IR Remote Mode” and “Camera Brand” in app’s
“Settings” menu. Switch to “Flash Method” mode. Start the program,
whistle to release the camera shutter, and a second sound will trigger flash.

Light mode is similar to sound mode, but use ambient light as the signal to
trigger the camera.

Besides the Sensitivity and Delay parameters, Trigger Mode needs to be
adjusted before starting the trigger. Trigger mode has two options: “Trigger
High” and “Trigger Low”. “Trigger High” means taking photo when the light
value is higher than the set threshold (light condition), while “Trigger Low”
means taking photo when the light value is lower than the set threshold
(dark condition).

Lightning mode is really helpful for photographers who want to take photo
of lightning strikes.

Since lightning strikes happen in a short period of time, about 100ms.
Human cannot act fast enough to capture the event manually. Normally,
to take photo of strikes, you will need to take a lot of long exposure photo
