    • The sync function enables wireless synchronization of the "Play" button across multiple Firefly T1 devices, allowing simultaneous image playback (this is so multiple light painting sticks can be combined to create large-area light painting effects)
    • Since the sync function uses a WiFi module, it consumes more power when turned on. It's recommended to turn it off when not in use

    • That is, the delayed playback time after clicking the "Play" button
