Release Format

Photo Secretary for the F5 offers two release formats, Command Release and Line

Release.

• Command Release

Sends a shutter release command from PC to camera.

Because the camera is controlled from the PC, there is a brief time lag.

In Command Release (clicking on the PC's "AF start"), autofocus operation stops

with the start of the first Release operation on the PC.

• Line Release

Sends an electronic release signal via the signal line from PC to camera.

Line Release format does not require communication time, so the release response

is faster than in Command Release format.

Note:

• With certain PC models, Line Release format cannot be used due to electronic

noise.

Before installing a film cartridge on the F5 camera, test whether or not you

can use the Line Release format with your PC.

• When using Line Release format, some Remote Operation functions cannot be

used.
