more than 30 seconds custom timer

[ghorian]

Hi, I'd need a 60-seconds custom timer on my S3 IS, then do a burst of up to 30 shots.

Is such a script available?

Hello & welcome Greg,

try this (a fast hack):

Code: sdlBasic

1. @title 60s timer
2. @param a Shoot count
3. @default a 30
4.  
5. print "Now waiting for 60s..."
6. sleep 60000
7. print "Now let's start shooting..."
8.  
9. for n=1 to a
10.  print "Shoot", n, "of", a
11.  shoot
12. next n
13.  
14. end

Attached you'll find the file "60sTimer.bas" also as ready2use download...

Wonderful, thank you! This has got me started nicely.

As I need the highest possible frame rate, I changed the script to use the press/release commands.  It requires the camera to be set to continuous shooting mode before the script starts.  The result is perfect for my needs.  Thanks again.

@title custom timer
@param t timer in seconds
@param b burst length in seconds
@default t 60
@default b 15
 
print t, "seconds custom timer"
sleep t * 1000
 
print "shooting a", b, "seconds burst"
press "shoot_full"
sleep b * 1000
release "shoot_full"
print "done"
 
end
