One Shot Mode

Use "One Shot" mode when you only need to take a single picture. Depending on the settings, the Promote Control either simply instructs the camera to release the shutter with the current in-camera settings, or attempts to preset a chosen shutter speed, aperture and/or ISO sensitivity before taking the picture.

By default Promote Control will release camera shutter with no changes to the camera settings. In this case, every setting will read "[ On Cam ] Keep". This means that the setting value will be the one currently set in camera, and the control mode is "Keep". With all settings in "Keep" mode, you may use any exposure mode on the camera, including fully automatic exposure modes. Please note that Manual focus mode should still be used.

Usage

1.Switch your Promote Control to the "One Shot" mode.

2.Make sure your camera is connected and set up.

3.Press "Start" button on the Promote Control to take a picture.

If you would like to alter one or more settings before taking a shot, change its control mode from the default setting of "Keep" to "Set", and alter the setting value as desired.

 Shutter Speed

The shutter speed can be set either in 1/3EV increments, or, with an optional shutter cable connected and enabled, in HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes and seconds). HH:MM:SS setting cannot be used without the shutter cable.

To use 1/3EV preset mode:

1.Set your camera to the Manual or Shutter Priority exposure mode.

2.Change "Exp" control mode from "Keep" to "Set"

3.Set the desired shutter speed on the Promote Control.

4.Press "Start" button to take a picture.

To use HH:MM:SS preset mode:

1.Set your camera to the Bulb exposure mode.

2.Make sure an optional shutter cable is connected and enabled.

3.Change "Exp" control mode to "Bulb"

4.Set the desired shutter speed on the Promote Control in hours, minutes and seconds.

5.Press "Start" button to apply changes and take a picture.

Aperture / F-Number

The aperture or F-Number can be set in 1/3EV increments. Please note that your camera and/or lens may limit the range of available aperture settings. Specifying an unavailable aperture setting in the Promote Control may prevent the picture from being taken.

1.Set your camera to the Manual or Aperture Priority exposure mode.

2.Change "F" control mode from "Keep" to "Set".

3.Set the desired F-Number value on the Promote Control.

4.Press "Start" button to apply changes and take a picture.

ISO

The ISO can be set in 1/3EV or 1EV increments depending on the Promote Control Setup routine. Please note that your camera may limit the range of available ISO settings. Specifying an unavailable ISO setting in the Promote Control may prevent the picture from being taken.

1.Make sure your camera ISO is not set to automatic control, and shows a certain ISO sensitivity value instead. When your camera has automatic ISO control enabled, Promote Control will not be able to affect the ISO setting on camera.

2.Change "ISO" control mode from "Keep" to "Set".

3.Set the desired ISO value on the Promote Control.

4.Press "Start" button to apply changes and take a picture.
