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.
5.1. LASER MODE
The laser mode is used is to capture picture of moving items. This can be a wild
animal, a bird or a ball rolling down. In order to use this mode, you need a laser
source. You will feed the laser beam to MIOPS and whenever the beam is broken
MIOPS will trigger your camera or flash unit. The type of the laser source is not
important. It can be a red or green laser source. The laser beam must be
stabilized so it does not move away from the receiver of MIOPS. The laser sensor of
Pluto Trigger is on the front side of the device.
Caution: Laser beam can be dangerous. Avoid eye contact. Use the laser source
at your own risk. We strongly recommend that you use a protective goggle.
