make your sequence brighter, while negative "Modify" value will gradually make it darker. The Promote

Control will wait until you finish changing this setting, and then start applying it. When it is being applied,

"ACT" will be indicated next to Live Mod amount. As the Live Mod is applied, the amount will get closer to

0 unless you start changing it again.

Note that Live Modifications may not always be possible - such as when you are trying to modify an

exposure sequence curve past the limits defined by shortest obtainable exposure and your interval.

Promote Control will not let you enter a Live Mod that violates the above constraints.

Using Live Ramp Shifting

Live Ramp Shifting is similar to the Live Modifications, but instead of shifting your curve up or down, it

shifts the actual ramping left or right - moving the moment when the ramping begins closer or farther in

time. It is only available when the bulb ramping sequence is active, and only until the ramping has

started. This may be useful if e.g. the sunset started kicking in, and you realize that you delayed your

ramp start too far into the future. In this case, press or hold Left button on Promote Control to reduce the

time before the ramp starts. On the contrary, if you feel like your ramping is about to start too early,

press or hold Right button on Promote Control to increase the time before the ramp starts.

When using Live Ramp Shifting, you will see "Ramp .. in" timer countdown change as you press Left/

Right buttons. You cannot make the ramp start immediately - the quickest the ramp can be brought back

is 1 (one) minute from now. This is intentional, and is made that way to ensure that you have that 1

minute to rethink your decision - and, if required, delay the ramp by pressing Right button again. So if

you need the ramp to start as soon as possible - press/hold Left until you have it start in 1 minute from

now, and then let that time pass. Note that once the ramping part starts, Live Ramp Shifting cannot be

used any more.

Using Live Ramp Shifting will impact both ramp start and end times simultaneously. In other words, it will

only make the ramp start earlier or later - it will not affect the duration of the ramping part of the

exposure curve, or the remaining duration of your previously programmed sequence.

Pausing Ramp

If you feel like the light stopped changing, you may want to pause your ramping. This will NOT pause

shooting - images will still be taken, but the exposures will not be changed while ramping is paused.

When the ramping is resumed, exposures will continue ramping towards the same end exposure that you

set earlier. Pausing your ramping will extend the total time your bulb ramping sequence takes for the

duration of the pause.

To pause or resume your exposure ramping, press Left+Right buttons at the same time while Bulb

Ramping sequence is under way. Please note that ramping pause/resume is only available before the

ramping portion of the exposure curve above is completed.
