### **Notes – Still Mode**

- **Flash Control (C Var 7 / 8):** Enables the sensor to wake or fire flashes independently of the camera (useful for systems like Sony that lack flash-wake signals).
- **Time Windows:** Sequence only operates within defined On Time periods; outside these times, motion is ignored.
