Looking for camera control software (for Nikon DSLR) to shoot time lapse I'm looking for free solutions if there are any, but for a little experimenting a trial version will do as well (I didn't think of this option before). Thanks for the pointer! |

Looking for camera control software (for Nikon DSLR) to shoot time lapse Thanks for the pointers. This would be a good solution if I were doing this often. But since I'd just like to experiment a little bit, a hardware solution is too expensive. The one you linked to is 50 eur + shipping. I am looking for free solutions (this is why I wanted to use software), if any are available (other than DIYPhotoBits Camera Control) |

Looking for camera control software (for Nikon DSLR) to shoot time lapse @Dan To answer question 2: the camera automatically increased exposure time to 8 seconds because I started to shoot in sunshine and finished in darkness (it gets dark very quickly here). I don't see any way to avoid getting the exposure time in the 1+ second range, but again: suggestions welcome! I used fixed aperture and let the camera adjust the speed. If I used a fixed speed, I'm afraid adjusting the aperture wouldn't be enough to avoid underexposure after it gets dark (or overexposure during sunshine). AFAIK this camera can't adjust the ISO in A or S mode. |

Looking for camera control software (for Nikon DSLR) to shoot time lapse @Dan I simply want to shoot time lapses. The camera has no built-in support for this (possibly because of the finite shutter life), so I used a computer to make a shot every 10 seconds. The problem with the software I used for this was that it didn't compensate for the increasing shutter speed (so in the end I had a frame every 18 seconds). I'm looking for a solution that avoids this problem. I don't see any other way than using a computer to control the camera or standing there myself with a stopwatch and pressing the button every 10 seconds. |
