[QUOTE="nickt, post: 569202, member: 4923"] Welcome. The usual problem is not enough time, you have to pad the interval a little for processing the photo. Up to double if its a long exposure with noise reduction on. The interval time must include the exposure time plus some padding. In other words, the timer counts through the intervals as set up with no regard for exposure time. It doesn't care if the camera is ready to take a picture or not, it just keeps counting. If the exposure + processing uses too much time and the camera is not ready to take a picture, that interval is skipped. For example if your interval is 1 second and your shutter speed is 1 second, you will probably miss half your shots. You need a 2 second interval or speed the shutter up so its all done saving the picture before the next interval starts. [/QUOTE]
