Interval timer with no-activity detection
Posted: 24 Aug 2017, 14:11
Hi,
I'm using qDSLRDashboard to digitalize some archives (hundreds of documents per session).
To be as fast as possible, I use the Interval Timer and set 1 picture every 6 seconds: that way, I have time to change the page and keep it on the table with my two hands (I really need the both because some of the old archives does not open easily). You can count that we have 10 pictures per minute. That's great compared to scanners or manual shoot.
Thus, in nearly all cases I'm ready before the end of the 6 seconds. So it would be very interesting to have a no-activity/motion detection or an activity detection. Here is the scenario:
* I set 1 picture every 3 seconds
* If I'm still moving at the end of the three seconds, the application detects the motion and wait to shoot until I'm not moving anymore.
Or:
* I launch the "automatic shoot on no-activity" function
* I set "do not take a new picture before: 3 seconds"
* Each time the app detects there is no activty, it takes a picture and wait for 3 seconds and no activity.
