[QUOTE="Samsonite, post: 135310, member: 13264"] Found a thread under the D5100 section, apparently the issue is due to a misinterpretation of the term "interval" (or nikon having a different understanding of it). Apparently Nikons definition is that the interval is from beginning of one shot to the beginning of the next, when I was interpreting it as the time between photos... The example given is if you want a 2 second delay between 15 second exposures, you need to set the interval to be 15+2=17 seconds... With this in mind I have changed my settings to 36 second interval, on a 30 second exposure, this should give ample time (6 seconds) between shots for the camera to write to the card.... Will let you know how it turns out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk! [/QUOTE]
