Introduction; Inside The Box - Pclix LT Owner's Manual

Introduction:

For decades cinematographers have been using very expensive motion picture
equipment to photograph all kinds of amazing time-lapse sequences. During that time time-
lapse photography was out of the reach for most people due to the high cost of the equipment
needed, the film stock, processing and either transferring the results to videotape or
projecting it in a theater. Those days are now behind us. With the huge advances in digital
cameras, personal computers and the availability of dozens of software applications this type
of photography is available to just about anyone, including you. By adding the Pclix LT into
the mix you now have the ability to shoot time-lapse images anywhere, anytime.
With no special adjustments other than setting the infrared transmitter code to suit
your camera, your new Pclix LT can turn your digital camera into a time-lapse movie-making
machine with intervals from 1 - 89 seconds in 1 second steps; 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minute
intervals; and 2, 4, 12, and 24 hour intervals. Longer or in-between intervals can be readily
set as described in the advanced section below. As well the Pclix LT is the only device
available which allows you to trigger a camera in tenths of a second instead of just whole
seconds using the Split Second Mode. This means you can set an interval anywhere between
0.1 – 9.9 seconds in tenths of a second.
The Pclix LT has been designed from the ground up with you the photographer in mind.
Not only will the Pclix LT allow you to photograph truly amazing time-lapse sequences, it's
also extremely easy to use. The Pclix fits into just about any camera bag, it's built to tough
standards and will run on two AAA batteries for about a month. Using the Pclix LT you can
very accurately photograph time-lapse sequences using any interval you choose between 0.1
and 9.9 seconds in tenths of a second or 1 second to 100 hours in one second increments. As
well you can set the number of images to be taken, program a delayed start, define the
shutter length using the bulb feature and set the Pclix LT to control one of dozens of different
camera models.
The Pclix will function with any digital camera that is listed on our compatible camera
list that has an Infrared Remote feature or the ability for a contact switch closer. Many
cameras have at least one of these options however sadly many have neither. Currently the
Pclix is compatible with dozens of camera models from Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Minolta and
Pentax. See our website for a current listing of compatible cameras.
