[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 808246, member: 48483"] It is something I unexpectedly discovered, but my Z5 will not allow shooting a time-lapse in M mode. You have to use an autoexposure mode. But my D750 will happily do the same time-lapse in M mode. Or just tether the Z5 and problem solved. DigiCamControl has improved slowly over the years. Yes I just create the entire time-lapse sequence in the software. For the time lapse it is in full control. You can even do longer than 30 second exposures as it will hold the shutter open with Bulb mode, but timed. You also can dial in ISO, shutter, aperture without touching the camera. And the trick I really like, you can focus remotely by looking at the image on the computer screen. It's sort of a manual focus-by-wire using the AF motor. Can digitally zoom in on a star and just adjust focus to make it as small a point as possible. It works on DSLR bodies also. However the generation of DSLR matters for the interface. You will need a USB cable to connect most of them. D850 may have the most things that can be controlled, but your D600 will be sort of limited. Specifically I think ISO can not be set remotely by D600 generation bodies. And another another possibility is using an external intervalometer that plugs in to the remote shutter-release port. You could start the time-lapse using the camera intervalometer then stop it and start the external intervalometer for the night work. [/QUOTE]
