Adjust Active/Inactive Meter Mode
By default, the Lightning Bug Plus™ will activate your camera’s meter anytime the
unit is powered on. This functions on most cameras as if the shutter was held
down halfway. This greatly reduces the lag between the Lightning Bug Plus™
triggering the camera and the camera actually taking the image.
Powering off the Lightning Bug Plus™ will deactivate the camera meter. This
allows easy review of any captured images. In some situations, it may be desirable
to have the Lightning Bug Plus™ activate the camera’s meter only when the
shutter is triggered. This will allow you to review your image on the camera’s LCD
after the image is captured without turning off the Lightning Bug Plus™, but it
may result in missed shots.
To modify this setting, the unit must first be powered on. Simultaneously press
the On/Off Button and the Increase Sensitivity Button and hold them for
approximately 1 second.

The yellow detection light will flash at a rate of approximately 2 times per second
when this mode is correctly entered. Press either Sensitivity Button to toggle
between the On and Off modes for automatic meter control. When the
automatic mode is On, the rightmost orange LED (below the + sign) will be
illuminated. When the automatic mode is Off, the leftmost orange LED (below
the – sign) will be illuminated. You can also press the Power Button to
immediately exit the adjustment mode and return to normal operation.
When the automatic meter control is Off, the meter will remain OFF until the
shutter trips. When the automatic meter control is On (factory default), the
meter will remain ON whenever the Lightning Bug Plus™ is powered on (and will
be turned OFF when the unit is powered off).
