C Var 1 – 0.1–5 s
Allows camera AF (e.g. animal-eye AF) before trigger; requires video light for night use.

Notes – Still Mode

• HP (Half-Press): Used to wake camera, initiate autofocus, or wake flashes.
• FP (Full-Press): Triggers shutter or video recording.
• Flash Wake/Fire: Optional secondary wireless signalsControl (C Var 7/7 / 8): Enables the sensor to wake or fire flashes independently of the camera (useful for systems like Sony that lack flash-wake signals).
• EXTTime ModeWindows: (Video):Sequence Extendsonly activeoperates recordingwithin whendefined newOn Time periods; outside these times, motion is detected.
• C Var Overrides: When a C Var duplicates a menu control (e.g. C Var 3/4 vs FPS), the C Var setting takes priority.ignored.
