[QUOTE="danny cable, post: 227795, member: 18350"] I'm not sure if I’m posting this in the right section or even how I’m going to explain my problem. I'm trying to use the cameras intervalometer but having no joy, this is what i have done so far. As well as the results below I have read that your interval time should be 1s longer than your exposure but all that does is increase the interval between shots. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was single, F8, shutter was 20s. Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'01s, number of intervals 050, Result was 3. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 20s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'01s, number of intervals 050, result was 6. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was single, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'01s, number of intervals 050, result was 4. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'01s, number of intervals 050, result was 8. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was single, F8, shutter was 20s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'02s, number of intervals 050, Result was 5. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 20s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'02s, number of intervals 050, Result was 6. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was single, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'02s, number of intervals 050, Result was 3. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'02s, number of intervals 050, Result was 6. As you can see from the above shoot mode seems to make the biggest difference so from here on all will be shot in continuous mode. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 20s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'05s, number of intervals 050, Result was 16. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'05s, number of intervals 050, Result was 8. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 20s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'05s, number of intervals 050, Result was 17. Camera settings manual, jpeg fine, iso100, release mode was continuous, F8, shutter was 30s Interval timer setting were, start now, interval 00:00'10s, number of intervals 050, Result was 13. You can see where this is going now I hope…. The reason for this attempt was I want to have a go at star trails and to get any kind of success I would have to fire manually for 3+ hours which is going to be a pain or put up with large gaps in the trails if I can find an interval time that will allow to shoot automatically for that long.
