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.
4.2.1. POWER MANAGEMENT
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, your Pluto
Trigger cannot afford to sleep between Time-Lapse sequences, and thus requires
a source of external power for long Time-Lapse sessions.
4.2.2. BULB RAMPING TIME-LAPSE
The Bulb Ramping mode is intended for Time-Lapse users who would like to take
Time-Lapse videos in changing light conditions, such as a sunset or a sunrise,
which is also know as Holy-Grail in Time-Lapse. It works by gradually changing
camera Bulb exposure, achieving a nearly flicker-free exposure transition from
