[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 793781, member: 47518"] Never done interval timer shooting before. Now want to make the effort to Milky Way shots later this week. So took a little experiment (daytime landscape) for five shots in intervals of 5" for 1/350 exp each (shutter speed). Image size=medium. Image quality=RAW+fine Jpg*. The result was fine. Original thought: it will take about one minute at least to finish the sequence (image review off and NR off). Surprisingly, it actually took exactly 25" to end. It looks like that 3~4" is enough for everything (data transfer, etc) the camera needs after a shot exp. Now the real MW shots will be (I assume) 8" exp. Can I expect the interval length 8+4 = 12" to be safe? or better make it 15"? For the experiment, I set "Focus b4 (each) shot" to OFF, and the result looks ok (set to focus at infinity). Is this the right setting? Just want to make sure. Appreciate all comments including other factors/tips to consider for Interval timer shooting. [/QUOTE]
