Operation
Mounting the Lightning Bug Plus
TM
on a Camera
First, make sure that both the Lightning Bug Plus
TM
and your camera are powered
off. Attach the unit to your camera’s hotshoe, and then install the shutter cable.
You can then power both units on – either can be turned on first.
Point your camera, and the let the Lightning Bug Plus™ do the rest!
Basic User Controls
The Lightning Bug Plus™ has three ‘soft-touch’ buttons that are used to operate
all of the features:
On/Off
Decrease Sensitivity (or Delay in Fireworks Mode)
Increase Sensitivity (or Delay in Fireworks Mode)
Standard Mode vs. Fireworks Mode
While powering on the Lightning Bug Plus™, the unit will start in Standard Mode
(suitable for Lightning photography) or Fireworks Mode (allows for delayed
shutter release) depending on which buttons are held down during startup.
To start the unit in Standard Mode, press and hold the On/Off button for
approximately 2 seconds.
To start the unit in Fireworks Mode, press and hold the On/Off button, and the
Increase Sensitivity button (the rightmost button) simultaneously for
approximately 2 seconds, then release both buttons.
