SY3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SY3 cable requires a separately available Promote Control HDR bracketing controller unit.
Using this cable enables the following modes of operation with select Sony Alpha cameras:
- One Shot in full "Auto" or Bulb mode (shutter speeds can be preset only in Bulb mode, no preset apertures or preset ISO values)
- Time-Lapse (shutter cable must be enabled and used in Promote Control Setup)
- Bulb HDR
- Bulb Ramping
- Manual Shutter Hold
- Hyperfocal Calculator
Other Promote Control modes are not compatible with Sony Alpha cameras at the moment. Regular USB-based HDR bracketing mode is not compatible with Sony Alpha cameras. As a result, HDR bracketing mode is limited to the shortest exposure of 1/20 to 1/5, depending on your camera model. Please see Bulb HDR section in Promote Control User Manual for more information.
IMPORTANT: Sony cameras with a proprietary Sony hot shoe are also supported via an optional third-party adapter that provides a round PC flash sync socket. Other similar adapters may also work.
* Cameras marked with (*) require additional USB OTG adapter cable due to non-compatible USB ports.
NOTE: When ordering - please ensure your camera model is listed for compatibility above, do not presume unlisted models will be suitable.
