Custom Variables
The Custom Variables menu provides access to advanced configuration options that allow the behaviour of the sensor to be fine-tuned. These variables modify timing parameters that affect how the camera is triggered, how long signals are held, and other aspects of sequence timing. For the majority of users, customising these settings is generally unnecessary.
In some cases, enabling or adjusting a Custom Variable may override standard Still or Video Mode settings, resulting in slightly different sequence timing than expected. These options are intended for advanced users who require precise control over the triggering sequence.
Accessing Custom Variables
- From the Home Screen, press and hold the Left and Right Arrow simultaneously for more than 1 second until the Custom Variables (C VAR) screen appears.
- Use the Left and Right buttons to select the desired variable number.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to select the desired variable value.
- Press Set to save the new value.
Available Custom Variables
| C Var | Description | Default Value | Adjustable Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Half-Press Length (Before Full Press) – Determines how long the half-press (wake) signal is held before the full-press trigger in both still and video modes. | 0.1 s | 0.1–5.0 s (in 0.1 s steps) |
| 2 | Half-Press Length (After Full Press) – Determines how long the half-press signal is held after the full-press trigger in both still and video modes. | 0.1 s | 0.1–5.0 s (in 0.1 s steps) |
| 3 | Full-Press Duration (Still Mode) – If enabled, this overrides the full-press timing determined by the FPS setting. | — | 0.1–2.9 s (in 0.1 s steps) |
| 4 | Gap Between Full-Press Signals (Still Mode) – When Number (NUM) > 1, this defines the interval between shots. If enabled, it overrides the FPS-determined interval. | — | 0.1–15.0 s (in 0.1 s steps) |
| 5 | Full-Press Duration (Video Mode) – Defines how long the full-press signal is held when starting or maintaining a video recording. | 1.0 s | 0.1–2.9 s (in 0.1 s steps) |
| 6 | Maximum Video Length Limit – Sets an absolute maximum video recording length in minutes. This limits the total recording duration when Extend Time is enabled. | — | 1–60 min |
Notes
- Adjusting Custom Variables can affect the timing of the camera’s wake, trigger, and release signals.
