| Jun 11, 2012 at 12:33 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @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. | |
| Jun 11, 2012 at 12:28 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @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. | |
| Jun 11, 2012 at 12:25 | comment | added | Dan Wolfgang | Two questions: 1) do you require computer control, or is the idea just to be able to shoot timelapses? 2) Is the auto-adjustment you speak of because you didn't plan for the correct length for the exposures? | |
