remote shutter release. Besides the full functions of
shutter release, it also features multiply timer functions:
delay timer, long exposure timer, interval timer as well
as setting for the number of exposure; its timing setting
can be accurate to 0.1 seconds. The WTR-2 or TRS-
1 is great for time-lapse recording of blooming owers,
astrophotography and etc.
AODELAN WTR-2 includes a Timer WTR-2(T) and a
Receiver WTR-2(R). It works as a wireless timer and
remote shutter release system with the Receiver WTR-
2(R) connecting to the camera and the Timer WTR-2(T)
controlling the receiver. Also, the Timer WTR-2(T) can
work as a wired system with it connecting to the camera
directly.
WTR-2
or
AODELAN Timer TRS-1 doesn’t feature with radio
function; it can only work as a wired timer and remote
shutter release system with it connecting to the camera.

Timer Mode
Using Timer mode
1. To access the timer mode press the Sound/Mode
Button until Timer is selected on the LCD.
2. With Timer selected you have access to the following
timer functions:
DELAY: Delayed Exposure. A self-timer before a photo
is taken.
LONG: Long Exposure. A programmable long
exposure for camera’s B (Bulb) Mode. The shutter will
stay open for the time programmed into the timer.
INTVL: Interval. The timer will take photos at the time
intervals programmed into the timer.
N: Number. The number of exposures the timer will
shoot during the current program (programmable “1-
199”; or “--” for unlimited).
BKLN: Bracketed Long Exposure. Useful for low-light
multiple exposure HDR images.
Setting the timer
1. Press the left or right Adjustment Buttons to select
DELAY, LONG, INTVL, N, BKLN. A small indicator line
will appear on the LCD under the selection.
2. Press the Set Button to edit the time.
3. The up and down Adjustment Buttons will change the
time.
• 12 •

4. The left and right Adjustment Buttons will move from
hours minutes, seconds, and part seconds. The left
and right Adjustment Buttons will also move to the
next or previous timer function.[ Note ]
Note: The DELAY, LONG, INTVL and Nfunctions can
be used together. A program using one or all of these
functions can be created.
Starting and Stopping the Timer
1. Pressing the Play / Stop Button will start programmed
timer functions.
2. Pressing the Play / Stop Button will stop a running
program.
The BKLN Function
The Bracketed Long Exposure function allows a group
of photos to be taken at automatically exponentially
changing exposure times.
1. Set the camera to B Bulb mode.
2. Selected BKLN in the timer mode.
3. Press the Set Button and the up arrow Selection
Button to turn on BKLN mode on.
4. Set your exposure time under the LONG timer mode.
5. Set the number of exposures under the Ntimer mode.
The number of exposures can be set from 1 to 7.
6. Pressing the Play / Stop Button will start the program.
The AODELAN Timer will double the exposure time (one
stop) set under the LONG setting for each of the number
of frames set under the N setting.
• 13 •

Example:
LONG time set to 0.5 second.
Nset to 5
Starting BKLN program you would get the following with
the above settings.
Image 1: 0.5 second
Image 2: 1 second
Image 3: 2 seconds
Image 4: 4 seconds
Image 5: 8 seconds
When using this function for HDR images a little math
work is required. If the proper exposure is 2 seconds
and you want to take a group of 5 images, the fastest
exposure - 0.5 second - needs to be entered on the
Timer WTR-2(T) or TRS-1. Images will be recorded
based on the rst exposure time entered and counted
forward. Unlike bracketed exposures on a camera,
AODELAN WTR-2 or TRS-1 will not shoot faster then
slower images.
