Modern materials and electronic components made the small size and the light weight of the eShutter possible, as well as the connections to different camera platforms. The Sinar eShutter is a completely integrated modular system. Thanks to this open architec- ture, it is also possible to attach the Sinar eShutter to other cameras. The applied technology permits the conversion of existing lenses of the “0” size. 1.1. Connection: The Sinar eShutter is controlled by means of a cable that is connected directly to the Interface Box. Power is also supplied via the Interface Box. Details are listed under Point 2.

Connection to a Digital Back Serial Cable (440.18.261 or 44018.262) for Sinar applications X Contact Cable (440.18.263) for other digital backs USB port for the connection to a computer. This connection transmits the data from the computer to the Interface Box or to the lens. This connection simultaneously incorporates the power supply. IMPORTANT: Using the USB port for the power supply reduces the exposure sequence rate. An exposure sequence of 1 image per second can only be achieved by using an external power supply.

IMPORTANT: The power supply must yield an output between 5 and 12 Volt. Power supplies that have a different output may damage the Interface Box and the Sinar eShutter. That will automatically void all warranties and guarantees of the Sinar equipment Socket for the connection to the lens X Contact for fl ash synchronization IMPORTANT: Using a power supply other than a mains connection, i.e. using the USB port as a power supply reduces the exposure sequence rate. An exposure rate of 1 image per second can only be achieved by using an external power supply.

Operating Elements 3.2.1 Flash Synchronization The fl ash is triggered at the start of the exposure. The fl ash is triggered at the end of the exposure. With this setting the fl ash synchronization is switched off.

The aperture values / f-stops can also be set via the “+” and “-“ symbols. 3.2.6 Shortcut Keys All the ‘Shortcut Keys’ are listed under “CONTROL” in the menu. These shortcut keys allow quick access to the functions, thus providing easy and efficient operation of the Sinar eShutter.

Step size: Setting the steps for the exposure series. The following steps can be selected: 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2. Pause between exposure: Setting the length of the pause between exposures . The pauses are calibrated in seconds. Selftimer Pre-setting the delay between the activation of the shutter release button and the actual exposure.
