Basic Newbie Questions, Apologies

Post by Glyn PE »

I am a newbie trying to create a time lapse using a Nikon Z7 or D8050 connected by USB cable to QDSLR in LRT Mode running on MacBook Pro.

My mission is to capture a smooth 1 minute approx sequence over 24 hours of my house and skyline above. This is currently a one off project

I have the following issues/questions:
1. Have found setup to specify save to PC but does not give a path and think still only saving to XQD card which is not big enough for the sequence
2. Ran test shoot set for 400 frames at 4 minute interval but stopped at 280 frames showing disconnected from camera which was sleeping (camera powered externally)
3. Selected Holy Grail sunset and exposure changed from 1/400 to 1/15 when dark. Sunset looked good but in fact needed to go to 0.7s approx to show night sky (longest exposure set to 4 sec)
4. Can I change Holy Grail Sunset capture to Sunrise during capture after it has got dark.

Sorry to be a pain with basic questions.
