7.2 Time-Lapse Mode
Use "Time Lapse" mode to take a number of pictures separated by a preset time interval with an optional
delay before starting the sequence. The resulting pictures can be used to create a fast motion video.
The Time-Lapse mode will use your camera exposure settings. If you use an optional shutter cable (see
Connections section), you can optionally set your camera to Bulb mode and instruct Promote Control
to time an arbitrary exposure. Using a shutter cable is highly recommended when using Time-Lapse
mode with interval shorter than 2 seconds.
