6. Set your camera to Manual exposure mode, take a few test pictures and pick
a shutter speed that yields an acceptable picture.
7.
Click the Bulb Ramping button on the upper-right of the red “Start” button.
The Bulb Ramping screen slides in.
8.
Turn on Bulb Ramping and the parameters will show up.
9.
Use the next setting to set a delay to end the exposure ramping period. Most
sunsets/sunrises take about 30 minutes, so this delay should be "Begin Ramp"
delay + 30 minutes.
10.
Specify the current shutter speed as "Start exposure".
11.
Enter the "End" exposure using "End" setting. If you pre-metered the end
exposure as described above, enter that exposure time here. Make sure the
end exposure is shorter than the Time-Lapse Interval.
12.
Specify a delay to start the exposure ramping using "Begin Ramp in" setting. If
you work on a sunset, this delay would be the time from now to when the
sunset starts, plus 5 minutes to allow yourself to complete this setup. You can
obtain sunset start times using various tables and/or weather reports.
13. Press "Start" on Pluto Trigger. Depending on your settings, one or more
prompts may be shown, clarifying the next step. Otherwise, the image
sequence will begin immediately.
NOTE: In many circumstances your start exposure will be shorter than what Pluto
Trigger allows you to choose. For example, you set your aperture to F/8 with ISO
100, and your camera says you need to use exposure of 1/100 second. However,
Pluto Trigger will only allow going as short as 1/20 second (this may vary
depending on camera model). This case would require installing and keeping ND
filters in front of your camera lens to make exposures longer than 1/20 second.
4.2.3. HDR TIME-LAPSE
HDR time-lapse mode can be optionally used to create High Dynamic Range
Time-Lapse sequences. This mode will take several images instead of only one at
each time-lapse interval.
