8. Use the “trigger mode” button to switch between “High trigger” and “Low
trigger”. In “High trigger” mode, the trigger fires when the laser beam is feed
to the sensor. Whereas in “Low trigger” mode, the trigger fires when you
break the laser beam.
to the sensor. Whereas in “Low trigger” mode, the trigger fires when you
break the laser beam.
9. Use the “trigger speed” button to switch between “High speed” and “Power
save”. In “High speed” mode, the trigger fires with the response time less than
20 microseconds. Whereas in “Power save” mode, the trigger is slowed down
to a response time of 1 millisecond to save battery power. One millisecond
response time is still very fast comparing with the shutter delay of your camera,
which is usually tens of milliseconds. In one millisecond, Usain Bolt can only run
a distance of 1cm. As a rule of thumb, use “High speed” when trigger flash,
and use “Power save” when trigger camera.

Rather than using sound mode as a normal non high-speed sound trigger, here
we will mainly focus on using it for high-speed photography.
we will mainly focus on using it for high-speed photography.
The sound mode is used for high-speed photography where your regular DSLR
camera is too slow to take pictures of popping balloons, breaking glasses,
exploding items etc. The idea behind using a sound trigger is very simple. Instead
of triggering your camera, you are going to trigger the flash unit. Your camera will
be in bulb mode in a completely dark room. Whenever the flash is triggered, you
will capture a single frame. Instead of taking many pictures with a high-speed
camera, you will capture a single frame with your regular DSLR camera. In this
setup, the speed of the flash unit is also very important. The faster the flash unit,
the sharper will be the image.

The sound mode has two parameters. These are Sensitivity and Delay. The
sensitivity can be set to a value between 1 and 100 using the dial. Setting the
sensitivity to a high value will let you to capture more sound events. If you want to
