The "Power Up" mode setting will let adjust the board for how fast the digital camera will boot up and be ready to take a photo.  The Fast mode is matched to the speed of either an Olympus D-360L, D-370, D-380, and D-390 (but not limited to these cameras), and the Slow mode is longer power up delayed cameras (longer than a 5 second power up).  Contact our support by email if you need custom settings, support@pixcontroller.com .

Shutter Time Examples:
Olympus D-360L    ~2.5 Seconds
Olympus D-370      ~3 Seconds
Olympus D-380      ~3 Seconds
Olympus D-390      ~4 Seconds

Note: Shutter times can vary depending on camera flash charge state, and the size of media card used.  Larger media cards can cause the camera to boot up slower. 

Attach "hardwired" Camera Devices such as the Olympus D-360L, D-370, D-380, or the new Olympus D-390.

With a recommended 4 C Cell battery supply you will get approximately 8+ months of continuous use.

Building Tips

When constructing a controller for either a D-360L, D-370, or D-380 we recommend you use an external supply for the camera, and connect this to "Camera Power Up/Down Connector".  This is a much less evasive process when you hardwire your camera.  Note, if you plan to use this method with the D-390 you will need a 3.4 V battery.  Using 2 AA's externally with the D-390 will not work, but using 3 AA's externally will work just fine.  This is what we suggest for the D-390 setup.  See the wiring diagram at the bottom of the page.


NEW!!

Try our new RSP3i or RSP4i PIC chips.  Now you do not have to use and external power supply to power your digital camera, and you no longer need "Charge Mode".  This will increase the battery life of your camera significantly and also power your camera up much faster! Now you can have an external light control and movie mode!
