cannot control cameras when set to an input. What can you do with Shutter 1 set as an input?
You can remotely trigger StackShot 3X to begin its current mode (if the current mode is ready to
start). It doesn’t matter if you’re in stacking or motion control mode – If the Shutter 1
connector is shorted to ground it will start (or stop) its current operation. This lets you easily
connect remote cables or devices to the controller for simple operation.
In order to remind you that the shutter is set as an input the shutter icon will change its red
output 1 to a solid blue circle:
8.5.4 Pre-Trigger Delay
The pre-trigger delay is a delay prior to the shutter going active. For Shutter 1 (the RCA
connector) this is purely a delay. For Shutter 2 (the 3.5mm connector) the camera’s half-press
will be activated for this duration.
If the “Pics Per Move” is set to greater than one the pre-trigger delay will only happen prior to
the first activation of the shutter. An example:
Pics per move: 2
Pre-trigger delay: 2.0 seconds
On Time 1: 500 ms
Off Time 1: 500 ms
On Time 2+: 500 ms
Off Time 2+: 500 ms
The shutter would activate the half-press for two seconds, turn the full press on for 500ms, off
for 500ms, on for 500ms, off for 500ms.
The default for this setting is “off”. To set it to “off” enter a duration of zero seconds.
8.5.5 Shutter On/Off Time 1
This determines how long the first activation of a shutter output is on or off. If you have “Pics
Per Move” set to “1” these On and Off times are the only values you have to adjust. If both of
these values are set to “500 ms”, the full-press on your camera would be “pressed” for half a
second, and then released for a half a second before the controller will continue with its next
task.
