[Capture criteria] [Motion]
[Advanced: Motion]
[Direction]: Upper right to lower left, right to left, and lower right to
upper left
[Slowest]: [3]
[Smallest]: [2]
[Timing options]
[Recording time selection]: [2s]
[Wait after shooting]: [10s]
The options listed for [Direction] assume that the subjects will be crossing the frame from right to
left. Specifying the direction prevents shooting being triggered by trains moving in the opposite
direction.
Taking [3] as your reference point, adjust [Slowest] and [Smallest] according to subject speed and
size relative to the frame. Users of wide-angle lenses, in particular, will need to choose smaller sizes
to reflect the subjects’ smaller apparent size.
We recommend short recording times for long trains to prevent shooting continuing after the lead
cars have passed.
