It may not be fully inserted into the Promote Control sensor port. 7.5 Bulb Ramping The Bulb Ramping mode is intended for Time-Lapse users who would like to take Time-Lapse videos in changing light conditions, such as a sunset or a sunrise. It works by varying camera Bulb exposure in very small increments, achieving a nearly flicker-free exposure transition from bright to dark, or dark to bright.
Detailed User Guide 27 the exposure to 2", and will arrive there in 1 hour 30 minutes from now, so the exposure ramping changes will take 30 minutes. It will then continue taking 2" exposures until 2 hours from current moment elapse. Usage Bulb ramping may greatly benefit from additional preparation work before you start. If you can, get exposure metering of a scene at a time of day when you bulb ramping is planned to be finished.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 NOTE: You may optionally enable a Setup setting called "Keep bulb ramp length on start time change". With this setting enabled, changing bulb ramping start delay will simultaneously and change bulb end delay and sequence delay, keeping the total bramp and sequence duration the same. This may be useful if you want to memorize a currently set ramping duration and simply change the moment when the ramping starts. 12. Enter the "End" exposure using "End" setting.
Detailed User Guide 29 (such as Cokin series), mount your ND filter holder now. 7. If your pre-flight checklist took more than a few minutes, make sure that "Begin Ramp" and "End" delays are still valid. 8. Press "Start" on Promote Control.

Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 8 Advanced Operations 8.1 High Dynamic Range Time-Lapse Promote Control has a feature that allows you to repeatedly take a series of bracketed image sequences known as Time-Lapse High Dynamic Range imaging, or "Time-Lapse HDR". Every bracketed sequence is merged into an HDR image and then the series of resulting HDR images is used to create a High Dynamic Range Time-Lapse movie.
Advanced Operations 41 11. To stop the sequence before it is completed, or if you used the value of "Infinite" for the "Frames" in the "Time-Lapse" mode screen, press and hold the "Power" button. Promote Control will then return to the mode settings screen and await further instructions. Taking images in "Time-Lapse HDR" mode may take a long time to complete. Make sure to use a fresh set of batteries in both Promote Control and your camera and use a large memory card.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 to the original Bulb Ramping settings, press the "Mode" button. Our goal with Advanced Bulb Ramping is to verify that Promote Control was able to fit our sequence into the attainable exposure range. If the attempt was unsuccessful we can go back to Bulb Ramping mode to change certain settings, or use ND filters in Advanced Bulb Ramping screen to rectify the issue. Promote Control will try to suggest a suitable solution, making your choice easier.
Advanced Operations 43 ND: none Shutter: SHORT->2" ISO: LOW->800 - Add ND filters to - start ramp with It means the current sequence cannot be completed without using ND filters. Read below on how to use ND filters. ND filters In many cases Promote Control will be unable to accommodate a bright daylight scene without using ND filters. For these cases Promote Control provides a way to handle ND filters while doing bulb ramping photography.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 When ND filter policy is set to "start", a similar line appears: ND: start 1.0EV+2.0EV The above line indicates that you would like to "start" with a set of two ND filters - first filter of 1EV, another one of 2EV. Promote Control then does the following: 1. Recalculates the start exposure accordingly. If all exposures can be done safely, it will allow you to proceed. 2.
Advanced Operations 45 filters. If you did meter with ND filters, you must use "none" setting for ND filters in Advanced Bulb Ramping mode - otherwise ND filters will be applied twice, and the resulting exposures will be incorrect. 8.3 Setup Menu Promote Control is an advanced, highly functional remote control solution that offers the flexibility to meet all your remote control needs.
8.3.3 Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 Shutter Cable Release Frame Delay Default: Off (fastest) This setting only applies when "Use a separate cable for shutter release" is set to "Yes". Change this setting to fit your image settings and camera model when using a shutter cable. The default setting is "Off", this equates to no extra delay and allows Promote Control to provide the fastest operation.
Advanced Operations 47 using a shutter cable. Use this when you experience randomly lost frames and other settings do not provide sufficient delay. 8.3.4 USB Cable Release Frame Delay Default: 1500 ms This setting only applies when "Use a separate cable for shutter release" is set to "No". Change this setting to fit your camera model when working solely with a USB cable (i.e., without a shutter cable).
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 exposures, change this setting to "Arbitrary (Bulb mode)". Then you will be able to specify exposures from 1 second and up in hours, minutes in seconds. Please note that this setting requires a connected and enabled 15 shutter cable. 8.3.7 14 Enable Time-Lapse schedule/repeat Default: No Set this setting to "Yes" in order to be able to run Time-Lapse sequences e.g.
Advanced Operations 49 Use this setting to let Promote Control automatically shift bulb ramping end delay and bulb ramping sequence end delay when start delay is changed. See Bulb Ramping 27 section for more information on how this affect Bulb Ramping operation. 8.3.13 Enable Advanced Bulb ramping Default: No Set this setting to "Yes" to enable Advanced Bulb Ramping mode. This will allow automatic ISO ramping, using ND filters and more in Bulb Ramping mode.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 2. The current Bulb Ramping exposure time is close to the shortest limit. If both conditions above are true, then Promote Control will attempt to lower the camera ISO down to the Lowest Auto ISO 49 Setup setting, while also making Bulb Ramping exposure time longer to keep the originally requested exposure. This serves two purposes: 1. Lowering total image noise - generally, the lower the ISO, the lower the noise is. 2.
Advanced Operations 51 This setting only applies to Bulb Ramping mode 26 . The previous setting, "Limit bulb ramping longest exposure" 50 allows putting a cap on the longest exposure Promote Control will be allowed to do. However, sometimes this cap may severely limit Promote Control functionality. If you encounter a situation where the longest exposure limit mode may have to be pushed, set "Bulb ramping long exposure limit mode" setting to "Soft, allow step over".
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 Bulb HDR and Bulb Ramping exposures must fit the currently set frame interval and yet still have time to be recorded to the memory card. Promote Control will use this information calculate the longest exposure time that can be used. The default setting of 1800 ms (1.8 seconds) should be adequate for most cameras.
Advanced Operations 53 Calibration requires a compatible shutter cable and a Bulb Ramping / Bulb HDR Assist cable to be connected. See Promote Control Setup 15 section for more information on how to calibrate this value. If you change the camera model for Bulb HDR or Bulb Ramping, this value will need to be recalibrated. Changing your camera lens will not affect this setting though - so simply changing your lens will NOT require recalibration.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 8.3.29 HDR Start Point Default: Mid Exposure Use this setting to control the way Promote Control will calculate your HDR image sequences. Available options are: Mid Exposure (default) – When you set a middle exposure, Promote Control builds an image sequence around the preset exposure. Shadows – Use this option for better control over shadows in your HDR image.
Advanced Operations 55 sequence: -8 EV steps from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed -6 EV steps from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed -4 EV steps from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed -2 EV step from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed The "Mid Exposure" shutter speed +2 EV step from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed +4 EV steps from the "Mid Exposure" shutter speed Promote Control will still take 7 images total, but they will be shifted 1 step towards shadows.
Promote Control 3.15 User Manual Rev 23 USB. With select lens models, focusing may take longer than usual (commonly on some legacy close-up and macro lens models). If your Promote Control does not always successfully refocus when performing a Focus Stacking sequence, try increasing this setting until the problem is resolved. This setting can also be set to a number lower than 400 milliseconds. Doing so is only recommended for very fast lenses with ultrasonic focus mechanism.
