Is there a way to dim the display? - starman99 - 2024-08-13
I have LRTimelapse Pro 3 Timer and do a lot of night photography. The display is super bright. Is there a way to dim it? Thanks!

The LRT PRO Timer is specifically designed to be used for astro photography. Just rotate the knob while shooting and it will offer two dimmer modes - one with only limited display and one where you only see one pixel whenever a shot is released. This is also explained in the manual ;-) https://lrtimelapse.com/lrttp/manual

Okay, great. So it's not really dimming the light, it's just displaying less information and thus doesn't project as much light overall. I see that one position on it is no display which is great. It would be fantastic on a future version, to have a dimmable display so that all info could be shown and read at night. For now, I'll just put a red filter over the screen. Thanks!

That kind of OLED doesn't allow for real percentage "dimming" and also I found it perfect to do it this way - the full information is only a rotation away, and while shooting, I only need the tiny pixel to see that something is still happening.

Understood and good idea. Thanks for the followup.
