7.1 One Shot Mode

Use "One Shot" mode when you only need to take a single picture. Depending on the settings, the

Promote Control either simply instructs the camera to release the shutter with the current in-camera

settings, or attempts to preset a chosen shutter speed, aperture and/or ISO sensitivity before taking the

picture.

By default Promote Control will release camera shutter with no changes to the camera settings. In this

case, every setting will read "[ On Cam ] Keep". This means that the setting value will be the one

currently set in camera, and the control mode is "Keep". With all settings in "Keep" mode, you may use

any exposure mode on the camera, including fully automatic exposure modes. Please note that Manual

focus mode should still be used.

Usage

1. Switch your Promote Control to the "One Shot" mode.

2. Make sure your camera is connected and set up .

3. Press "Start" button on the Promote Control to take a picture.

If you would like to alter one or more settings before taking a shot, change its control mode from the

default setting of "Keep" to "Set", and alter the setting value as desired.

Shutter Speed

The shutter speed can be set either in 1/3EV increments, or, with an optional shutter cable connected

and enabled , in HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes and seconds). HH:MM:SS setting cannot be used without

the shutter cable.

To use 1/3EV preset mode:

1. Set your camera to the Manual or Shutter Priority exposure mode.

2. Change "Exp" control mode from "Keep" to "Set"

3. Set the desired shutter speed on the Promote Control.

4. Press "Start" button to take a picture.
