Canon TC80N3, 2477A002 Long Exposure Mode, Exposure Count, Hold Function, Cancelling the Settings

Interval Timer Mode (continued)

3.To pause the interval timer, press the Start/Stop button. Press it again to resume.

Note: The interval you select must be longer than than the combined time of the shutter speed and shutter recocking time, otherwise the result will be continuous shooting.

When you are shooting with electronic flash the time interval you set must be longer than the flash recycle time. If the time interval is less than the recycle time the shutter will not release until the flash unit has recycled. With Canon Speedlites that have the Save Energy (SE) feature, the flash will automatically recycle one minute before the exposure.

Long Exposure Mode

1. You must set the camera's shutter to Bulb (B), otherwise the camera will shoot continuously until the exposure time you have set

expires or you run out of exposures, whichever comes first.

2.Use the Jog Dial to set the desired exposure time.

3.Press the Start/Stop button. The exposure will start, the icon will blink and the exposure time will begin to count down.

4.To cancel the exposure, press the Start/Stop button.

Note: For unattended shooting, focus manually. If the camera is set to AF and is unable to find focus it may not release the shutter.

Exposure Count

1. Press the Mode Button to select the Exposure Count mode.

2. Press the Jog Dial. The exposure count digits will

begin to blink.

3.Turn the Jog Dial to the number of exposures you want, from 1 to 99. If you set the counter to 00, the number of exposures will limited only by the amount of film or memory card space available.

4.Press the Jog Dial to register the number of exposures. Once an amount has been registered the exposure count display will no longer blink.

5.Press the Start/Stop button. The camera will begin shooting and will continue until it completes the number of exposures

you have. The TC-80N3 will count down the number of exposures. Unless you specify a specific interval, the exposures will be taken at one-second intervals.

Note: When shooting a sequence of exposures with flash, set the interval timer so that the flash will have enough time to recyle between exposures.

Hold Function

The Hold function prevents accidental changes to your settings. It also prevents the Start/Stop Button from accidentally stopping an operation after it has started. To activate this function, press and hold the Display Illuminator Button for at least three seconds until the Hold indicator appears on the display. To cancel this function, press and hold the Display Illuminator Button for at least three

seconds until the Hold indicator disappears.

Cancelling the Settings

Simultaneously press the Mode Button, Display Illuminator Button and Jog Dial to cancel all settings. Setting the time or number of exposures to 0 will cancel the respective mode.

Remote Switch Function

The TC-80N3's Release Button functions in the same way as the Remote Switch RS-80NC. The remote switch function does not require battery power.

As with your camera's shutter button, you can press the Release Button either halfway or all the way. Pressing it halfway activates your camera's autofocus and exposure meter. Pressing it all the way will release the shutter.

For long exposures or continuous shooting, press the Release Button completely and slide it forward, in the direction of the Running Lock Arrow. This will lock the button in the fully depressed position. To release the button, slide it back to its original position.

Note: Even when the Interval Mode or Self-timer are active, you can still take a picture immediately by pressing the Release But- ton or your camera's shutter button. Also note that the timing or exposure count mode you have set will not be affected if you use the Release Button. During a long exposure that is controlled by the TC-80N3, however, the release button will be inoperable.
