    9.1.d. Timed Release: The Timed Release mode is the perfect solution if you want to control the shutter with great precision. This mode has a single parameter: Exposure: This parameter controls the exposure in hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. In order to change the parameter, touch the exposure value and a numeric keypad will appear.

  • Page 11: Timed Release & Self Timer

    9.1.f. Timed Release & Self Timer: If you want to have a custom exposure after the timer goes off, you can use the Timed Release and Self Timer mode. This mode combines the Self Timer with the capability of keeping the shutter open for a certain time. It has two parameters: Timer and Exposure.

  • Page 12: Timelapse Modes

    9.2. TIMELAPSE MODES: In this section, you will find information about various timelapse modes. 9.2.a. Basic Timelapse: The Basic Timelapse mode offers to take time-lapse photos automatically without changing the exposure. It has two parameters; Interval and Frame. Interval: This parameter defines the duration between each frame. The Interval can have a value from 13 milliseconds up to 100 hours.

  • Page 13: Long Exposure Timelapse

    This is the only way of achieving custom exposures. If you do not set your camera to BULB mode, the exposure value of your camera will be valid and you will not get pictures with the exposure set on the MIOPS MOBILE app.

  • Page 14: Bulb Ramping Timelapse

    9.2.c Bulb Ramping Timelapse: The Bulb Ramping Timelapse mode gives you the opportunity to take time-lapse photos with changing exposures.

  • Page 16: Hdr Timelapse

    9.2.e. HDR Timelapse: The HDR Timelapse mode combines the time-lapse with HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. In other words, each frame of the time-lapse video will be an HDR photo. This can be a complex goal to achieve, but the HDR Timelapse mode takes care of it very easily.

  • Page 17: Hdr

    9.2.f. HDR: The HDR mode will take pictures with different exposures automatically, so you can later combine them to make an HDR photo. This mode is based on three parameters. These are Center, EV(+-) and Frame. HDR mode takes pictures in odd numbers (3, 5 and 7).
