Interval timer

Post by WIMorrison »

I can't seem to make the interval timer work on this latest iPad version with a D800e. (It is the button on the right hand side immediately under the level icon).

I can enter the frame count, I can enter the delay and I can enter the bulb time but the start button remains unavailable.

Skystacking works but that doesn't allow me to insert a delay between shots.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks

Interval timer will not work with sky stacking.
If you just need an interval between captures in sky stacking I can try and it.

I need to have a delay between shots when Skystacking to allow for the dark shot noise reduction that the camera can be set to take.

If I take a 5 min shot then I need a delay of just over 5 minutes to allow for the noise reduction shot and as I plan to be doing about 10 shots for each capture I need to be able to 'program' this in :)

I think that I can get round the mirror up delay by adding 3 secs to the length of each exposure, but no way to get around the noise reduction shot :( I would appreciate if you could work this into the otherwise excellent product :)

Thank you so much for implementing this feature - I really do not understand how you manage to keep this programme 'free' - it is excellent.
