Hello,
I wish to control an older Sony camera that only receives an IR shutter control signal. I need to use the camera in timelapse Bulb mode with longer exposures.
I experimented with a combination of inexpensive remote timer triggering a cheap Sony type infrared shutter release controller. The Sony controller here is simply used to convert the voltage trigger into infrared trigger. It does work.
But the problem with these timers is that they only send a trigger to release the shutter at the beginning and none at the end to close the shutter. The shutter will only close at the next ON trigger. Result: dark time = exposure time. That is not good for my purpose.
I wonder if the LRT Pro Timer sends on and off triggers to a camera in bulb mode. Or does it send a gate on/off signal instead?
I see in the specs: timelapse bulb time max as long as (interval-1 sec). Are two signals sent? one at the beginning and one at the end?
Any body got into this? I hope to get this working!
Thanks for your help
