FAQs

What type of batteries does the Hahnel Captur Timer Kit use?

The transmitter is powered by standard AA batteries.

Can this timer trigger multiple cameras at once?

Yes, by purchasing additional Captur receivers and connecting them to other compatible cameras, you can trigger multiple cameras simultaneously with the single transmitter.

What is the maximum wireless range of the Captur Timer Kit?

The kit offers a reliable wireless transmission range of up to 100 meters.

How do I ensure a stable connection between the transmitter and receiver?

The Captur system uses Digital Channel Matching (DCM) to establish and maintain a secure connection. Ensure DCM is active on both units.

What are the main uses for the timer function?

The programmable timer is ideal for time-lapse photography, long exposures, and capturing sequences of shots at specific intervals or with defined exposure counts.

Is the receiver module included with the timer kit?

Yes, the Captur Timer Kit for Olympus/Panasonic includes the necessary receiver to connect to compatible cameras from these brands.

Can I use the Captur for simple remote shutter release without the timer functions?

Yes, the Captur can be used as a basic wireless remote shutter release in addition to its advanced timer functions.

Troubleshooting

Transmitter and receiver not communicating.

Ensure both devices are powered on and have fresh batteries. Verify that the correct receiver is connected to the camera and that DCM is active on both units. Check for obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.

Camera not responding to shutter release.

Confirm the receiver is correctly plugged into the camera's remote port. Check the camera's menu settings to ensure the remote control function is enabled and set to the appropriate mode (e.g., not 'manual focus only').

Timer sequence not starting or running correctly.

Review the programmed settings on the transmitter to ensure they are configured as intended. Reset the timer and re-enter the desired sequence. Ensure the camera is in a shooting mode that allows for the programmed exposure settings.

Intermittent connection or signal loss.

Move closer to the camera to ensure you are within the 100m range. Minimize interference from other wireless devices or large metal objects. Try re-establishing the DCM connection.
