Fireworks Mode
When the unit starts in Fireworks Mode, the yellow activity light will flash to let
you know you’re in this special mode. To exit this mode, you must turn the unit
off, then back on again. NOTE: Fireworks generate very small amounts of IR light
as compared to a lightning bolt; because of this, you must be relatively close to
the fireworks to be successful – generally within ½ mile. Local conditions such as
humidity, altitude, and ambient temperature can have an effect on how well the
Lightning Bug Plus
TM
will be able to detect fireworks.
The Fireworks Mode allows you to choose a delay time between the capture of
the ‘burst’ and the release of the shutter, allowing time for the event to fully
bloom before tripping your camera. When in Fireworks Mode, the sensitivity is
always set to the last sensitivity settings when in Normal Mode.
Decrease Delay
Press this button to decrease the time delay. There are a total of 10 levels of
available delay, ranging from 0 seconds to 2.25 seconds in 1/4 second increments.
The factory default setting is 0 seconds.
Increase Delay
Press this button to increase the time delay.
Determining the Current Delay Level
The orange LEDs on the top of the Lightning Bug Plus
TM
will always display the
current delay level whenever the unit is powered on. See Table 2 for more
details.
When making adjustments, the LED’s will automatically brighten, then dim to
allow visualization of the setting. The yellow LED (shaped like a lightning bolt) will
always flash twice, then delay, and repeat this sequence approximately once
every 2 seconds.
