WHAT IS IT?

ShutterBug Pro is a convenient accessory for expanding a camera’s shutter features. It

precisely operates the focus and shutter stages upon a timed event or remote control signal. It

can even auto-repeat the shutter for a rapid series of shots. It also can be used to prevent a

digital camera from turning itself off, which is a real lifesaver in some applications.

A hobby R/C servo (not included) is used to activate the camera’s shutter button. Direct wire

interfacing is possible too. For wireless remote photography, ShutterBug Pro is compatible with

many popular model hobby R/C systems.

The photo on the left shows a small blue servo installed on a

digital camera. In this installation the R/C servo was mounted

using double sided foam tape (so it can be removed without

damaging the camera). The servo’s rotating arm is carefully

positioned above the shutter button.

Please keep in mind that each camera will be different. So

some mechanical trickery is often needed to accommodate

the servo. Just use your creativity to devise a reliable

mounting arrangement.

SHUTTER ACTIVATION FEATURES

The shutter cycle can be configured to partially depress the shutter button, wait for the camera

to focus, then snap the photo. At the end of the shutter action, it can be configured to [1]

release the shutter until the next snapshot event, [2] rapidly auto sequence the shutter, or [3]

hold the shutter button down continuously.

SHUTTER TRIGGER METHODS

There are four ways to take a snapshot.

A user-programmable timer is available for time lapse photography. The timer has three

ranges: 1-120 seconds, 1-120 minutes, or 1-120 hours. Please see Figure 4 for battery

connections.

The onboard pushbutton switch can be manually pressed to snap a photo. This is ideal

for testing your camera setup. It is available in

all modes of operation.

IRELESS REMOTE

ONTROL

ShutterBug Pro’s 3-wire cable can be plugged

into a spare channel of a model R/C receiver

(not included). Brands such as JR, Futaba,

Hitec, and Airtronics are compatible.

You may use a stick, knob, or switch on your

R/C transmitter. Of course, the R/C receiver’s

unused servo channels are available to you,

too.

Note: If you are using an R/C transmitter with Dual

Rates or End Point mixes, set them to ±100%.

IRED REMOTE

ONTROL

: Some applications may need to externally trigger a

snapshot using a simple switch interface. ShutterBug

Pro’s 3-wire cable can be controlled by a switch,

relay, or electronic logic signal. The photo on the

right shows how an external switch is wired. When

the orange wire is “grounded,” the shutter is

triggered.

Figure 6, Servo Connector

INSTALLATION

ShutterBug Pro is compatible with R/C servo-activated shutters and direct (hardwired)

connections. The servo method is the most popular because it does not require camera

disassembly or modification.

ERVO

ETHOD

As mentioned, a standard R/C servo can be controlled from ShutterBug Pro’s timer

feature or it can be remotely activated using a model R/C system. Servos are available

from R/C model hobby shops. For example, the tiny Hitec HS-55 is low cost and a

popular choice. How you mount it is up to you.

To install the servo on ShutterBug Pro, simply plug it into

the 3-pin connector. The servo cable’s Signal (yellow, or

white) wire is positioned so that it is closest to the outside

edge. The servo is then mounted on the camera with

adhesive or double sided foam tape. The goal is to have

the servo arm press the shutter button, so your

installation should allow that.

ONNECT

ETHOD

Note: The direct connection method requires delicate electronic soldering, and difficult

modifications to your digital camera that will void the warranty. You, and only you, are

responsible for any damage that may occur in your attempt to modify your camera. Do this

installation at your own risk. Please note that we are unable to offer specific instructions on how

to modify your camera.

The ShutterBug Pro can electronically connect to some digital photo cameras. Its direct

connect interface uses two solid state “switches.” The Stage-1 switch is for focus and

Stage-2 is for shutter (snapshot). The switches are optically isolated, which provides

electrical protection to your camera.

ShutterBug Pro’s direct connection provides the electrical closure to the contacts on your

camera’s shutter button. Stage-1 (focus) is switched-on first, followed by Stage-2

(shutter). All switches are turned off after a short final delay. Total focus/shutter activation

time will depend on the settings you have chosen (please see System Programming

section).

Figure 7, Basic Direct Connect ID

Figure 8, 2-Wire Layout

Figure 9, 4-wire Layout

The photo on the right shows how the two camera

stages are identified on ShutterBug Pro’s circuit board.

The connections must be made by soldering your

custom made wiring cable to the indicated pads. Use a

temperature controlled soldering iron set for delicate

soldering work.

The Stage-1 and Stage-2 switches are polarity

sensitive. So, they must be wired to match the polarity

of your camera. This can be determined by using a voltmeter across the camera’s shutter

button (switch) contacts during its resting state.

Direct Connect Method:2-Wire

Not all cameras do a focus when the shutter

button is depressed. Or perhaps you do not

want to use the cameras auto focus feature. If

so, only two wires are needed.

SYSTEM PROGRAMMING

ShutterBug Pro’s flexibility is due to its user-programmable features. In other words, it can be

configured to your special requirements.

The system programming feature allows you to set the following features:

#Camera wake-up interval.

#External Trigger mode (R/C or external switch).

#Shutter mode.

#Shutter repeat (auto-sequence) interval.

#Focus duration.

#Home servo position.

#Focus servo position.

#Shutter (snapshot) servo position.

ShutterBug Pro is factory configured with the following settings. Of course, any of these

settings can be changed to suit your application.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

“Programming” ShutterBug Pro involves pressing the push

button switch while observing the red and yellow lights. If you

are installing a servo then you will also need a servo signal

source (such as a R/C radio system or servo signal

simulator) to program the servo position settings.

Each programming step involves a blinking Yellow LED. The

blink pattern indicates the programming step that you are on.

There are ten steps, so there are ten unique LED patterns

that will be seen by the time programming is complete.

At each step you will respond by pressing the push switch. The number of presses will program

the feature. For example, during the “Shutter Repeat Interval” programming step, pressing the

switch four times will set the shutter repeat time to four seconds. Once you are done with the

step, just wait three seconds for the Red LED to wink once. ShutterBug Pro will then move to

the next step. If desired, programming can be exited by removing power after the Red LED

winks, which will leave the remaining values unchanged.

If your entry is illegal, the Red LED will rapidly flash for several seconds as a warning. You will

then be allowed to try again. During steps one through seven, if you do not enter your value

within seven seconds, ShutterBug Pro will move to the next step. This allows you to skip the

steps you do not want to change.

The LED patterns are arranged as simple patterns of short and long blinks. The following table

outlines the blink codes ( 

TART OF

ROGRAMMING

Programming begins by holding down the pushbutton switch while you apply power to

ShutterBug Pro. Continue to press the switch until the Red LED is on. When you are

ready start programming, release the switch. Now the fun begins!

Step 1: Camera Wake-up/Standalone Interval.

Range: 1 = Turn Off, else 2 - 120

Depending on the operating mode, the Wake-up/Standalone interval is used to

prevent the camera’s power save feature from putting the camera to sleep or to

determine the time between snapshots.

AKE

While in the R/C or external trigger mode (see Step 4), this is the delay time

before the next shutter “Keep Awake” movement. At the time interval you choose,

the Stage 1 (focus) position will be active for a moment, which keeps the camera

awake. So, to prevent your digital camera from falling asleep, set this time to be

less than the camera’s maximum allowed inactivity duration. For example, if your

camera turns itself off in five minutes, then enter four presses and choose

“Minutes” in Step-2 (for four minutes). If it turns off in 60 seconds, then enter five

presses and choose “10X Seconds in Step-2 (for fifty seconds).

TANDALONE

When in the Standalone mode, this is the time delay before the next snapshot.

If you want to take a photo every five minutes, enter five presses and choose

“Minutes” in Step-2 (for five minutes). If you want a photo every two hours, enter

two presses and choose “Hours” in Step-2.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Standalone mode is automatically disabled if a R/C servo

signal has been detected. To test standalone mode after programming you must

disconnect battery power, remove the servo signal source, then reapply power.

Step 2:  Camera Wake-up/Standalone Interval Units.

Range: 1= Seconds, 2= 10x Seconds, 3= Minutes, 4= Hours.

This entry is a companion to Step 1. It sets the time units (resolution) for the

Camera Wake-up/Standalone Interval. For example, press three times for

minutes.

Step 3:  Shutter Repeat Interval

Range: 1 to 30 seconds.

This entry configures the shutter repeat time. It is only observed when ShutterBug

Pro is used in the “Repeat” mode (see Step 5). Each press is one second, with a

maximum of thirty seconds. For example, for a rapidly repeating two second

shutter period, press twice. The timer begins at the end of each snapshot.

Step 4:  Shutter Dwell Time

Range: 0.5 to 10 seconds (with half-second resolution).

This entry configures the Shutter (Stage-1) dwell time. Each press is one-half

second, with a maximum of ten seconds (twenty presses). For example, to set a

1.5 second Shutter time, press three times.

Step 5: ,, Shutter Repeat / Hold Mode

Range: 1= Once, 2= Repeat, 3= Hold.

The shutter can be configure to operate in three different ways. They are as

follows:

Once: Press and release the shutter button once. Do not press again until

the next external trigger (R/C or external switch).

Repeat: Cycle the shutter to take rapid sequence of photos. Continue repeat

until the external trigger is released.

Hold: At the end of the snapshot, continue holding the shutter active until

the external trigger is released. Once the external trigger is removed,

the shutter will continue to stay active until the expiration of the

Shutter Dwell Time period. During the Standalone mode, the shutter

will remain active until the pushbutton switch is pressed.

Step 6:  ,, Focus Dwell Time

Range: 1= Off, else 1 to 10 seconds (with half-second resolution).

This entry configures the focus dwell time. One press will disable Focus (Stage-2)

operation. Beyond that, each press is one-half second, with a maximum of ten

seconds (twenty presses). For example, to set a 1.5 second focus time, press

three times.

Step 7:  ,, External Trigger Mode

Range: 1= R/C Signal, 2= External Switch.

This entry configures ShutterBug Pro for the type of external snapshot trigger you

need. For example, if you will be using it with an R/C receiver, press once for “R/C

Signal.” To use the external switch method, press twice.

Important Note: Standalone mode users must set this feature to “R/C Signal.”

NOTES ON SERVO POSITION PROGRAMMING (STEPS 8 - 10):

(1) During programming steps eight through ten, the Red LED will be on. This serves to warn you

that servo position programming is active. (2) If you are using the direct connect method these

steps can be ignored. (3) There are no time limits to setting the servo positions; a key press

selection must be made to continue to the next step. You may press twice to reload the factory

defaults or press three times to skip the entry with no change. (4) When setting the servo

position, the Red LED will urgently flash for several seconds if the R/C signal is missing. If this

occurs please check your R/C equipment and try again.

Step 8: ÷Neutral (Home) Servo Position

Range: 1= Store servo position, 2= Load factory default, 3= Skip (no change).

This entry allows you to precisely set the neutral (home) servo position. Use your

R/C transmitter (or servo signal simulator) to position the servo arm away from the

camera’s shutter button. Once it is where you want it, enter one press.

Step 9: ÷ Stage 1 (Focus) Servo Position

Range: 1= Store servo position, 2= Load factory default, 3= Skip (no change).

This entry allows you to precisely set the Stage-1 (focus) and Wake-up servo

position. This is a half-pressed shutter button on cameras that support this. Use

your R/C transmitter (or servo signal simulator) to position the servo arm so that it

half-presses the shutter button. Once it is where you want it, enter one press.

Step 10: ÷ Stage 2 (Snapshot) Servo Position

Range: 1= Store servo position, 2= Load factory default, 3= Skip (no change).

This entry allows you to precisely set the Stage-2 (snapshot) servo position. Use

your R/C transmitter (or servo signal simulator) to position the servo arm so that it

GENTLY provides a fully depressed shutter button. Do not allow it to press too

hard or the servo will wear out very quickly. Once it is where you want it, enter one

press.
