[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 228847, member: 9240"] Wayne is spot on. The Nikon intervalometer function could have been written so much more intuitively, but alas it's not. The interval time [I]is not the time between shots[/I], it's the total time from the beginning of one shot to the beginning of the next. In other words... [INDENT][B]Minimum[/B] Interval Time = Shutter Speed + Post-processing Time (i.e. Long Exp NR) + Wait Time Before Next Shot[/INDENT] No one thinks of it that way off the top of their heads, but I suspect that when Nikon engineers put it together they had no way of easily calculating it consistently, so they opted to make it simply the amount of time between shutter actuations and left the calculating to the photographer. As for the number of actuations, they are counted regardless of whether or not a photo was actually taken. [/QUOTE]
