Like the Delay Start Option, the Image Count must also be turned ON in order to use it. You can turn
it ON by setting the dials to 21 and entering programming mode in the usual way, or OFF by setting
the dials to 20 and entering the programming mode.
The Image Count Option let's you know if it is ON or OFF during normal startup. In normal mode the
GREEN LED will flash 3 times during startup, if the Image Count Option is set ON then the RED LED
will flash during the second flash of the GREEN LED at startup.
Once your Image Count is finished the RED LED will flash every 3 seconds to indicate your sequence is
finished shooting. To clear the Pclix XT after shooting your sequence turn OFF the device. If you turn
the Pclix XT back ON it will repeat the Image Count down until you set the Image Count Option OFF.

Setting Bulb Length Options (OFF 30, ON 31, Length 32, Bulb Toggle OFF 33, Bulb Toggle ON 34):
The Bulb Length Option allows you to instruct the camera as to how long the shutter will remain open
on a still or how long a video camera will continue recording. On a still camera this is very useful when
there is little light and a long exposure is necessary. Or on a video camera when you want the camera
to record a clip of a given length. The length of the bulb or length of the Video recording can also be
triggered manually by pushing the Red Fire button once to open the shutter or start video recording
and then pushing it a second time to close the shutter or stop video recording.
The Bulb option of the Pclix XT has another interesting feature called Bulb Toggle. It's best described
this way. When both dials are set to zero you can trigger bulb manually by pushing the Fire button.
The Pclix XT factory setting is to set the Default of the Bulb Toggle to ON. This means that if you push
the Fire button the when the dials are set to zero the shutter will open or video recording will be
started. The shutter will stay open or video will continue to be recorded until you push the Fire button
a second time. Upon doing so the shutter will close or video recording will be stopped.
