SHUTTERBOSS

VERSION II

USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Vello
ShutterBoss. This device is more than just
a remote shutter release. It features many
timer functions: self-timer, interval timer,
long exposure timer, as well as controls
for the number of continuous shutter trips.
Powered by two AAA batteries, it can take
approximately two months of continuous
shots with a delay of 5 minutes between
exposures and an exposure length of 4´56˝.

You can set the timer delays, exposure times,
and intervals up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59
seconds in one second increments. You can
select anywhere from 1 to 399 continuous
shots, or set the device to take an unlimited
number of photos.

The LCD screen has a backlit function for
low-light conditions.

The Vello ShutterBoss is great for time­lapse recording of blooming flowers,
astrophotography, etc.

We have added two new features in Ver. II:

1. POWER OFF option:

This feature gives the ability to power the
device o to conserve battery life.

2. RESET option:

This feature allows the ShutterBoss to be
reset to the default factory settings, so
that each setting doesn’t need to be reset
individually.
