Title: Canon 600 and sequences
Post by: Fay on May 16, 2012, 17:38:25
Does anyone know if, with a Canon, you can take a series of shots & have 2 or 3 seconds inbetween each one, for daytime time lapse.

i could use the Intervalometer but as the lowest length of sub is 1sec, it will not work as want it lower.

I assume this is with your new 600D ASTRO camera  ;)

Try selecting the lowest ISO and aperture.

Does the included software let you do timelapse ?

i don't know, i wanted to do it as a standalone no laptop. eg if i was doing clouds, i would want a 2 or 3 sec gap inbetween each sub.

The canon software allows you to do that if you tether it to a pc.  Alternatively you can use a remote or Magic Lantern.

i will look at Magic Lantern thanks Robert

Yes but that's on bulb,  just dial up the shutter speed and set intervalometer shutter to minimum.  That should work ok.  That is unless you want less than 1 second between exposures.
