[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 485561, member: 13090"] Well the answer is both yes, and no... I haven't done any long exposure shots in a while but I do have a D7100 and the last long exposure shooting I did used that body... I'm going by memory here but it sticks in my mind when you do long exposure shots, say a five-second exposure, the camera requires time to process the shot once the shutter closes and, typically, the time it takes to do that processing equals the exposure time. That means your five-second exposure is going to need roughly five seconds to process in-camera. If you're shooting JPG and enable Long Exposure Noise Reduction you need to [I]double the processing time[/I] so now your five-second exposure is going to require (roughly) ten seconds to process. [b]So, yes[/B]; you can set a D7100 to shoot consecutive long-exposure shots, but you need to factor in processing time between those shots... [B]So, no[/B]; you can't have a "zero interval" between captures. Now I fully admit I am going by memory on this so if someone knows with certainty that I'm off base here... Please correct me.
