Is it possible to include some kind of user-defined fixed timer which change shutter speed? For example reduce shutter speed one step every 5 minutes or more dynamic timer like reduce shutter speed one step after 5 minutes, then after 4 minutes, after 3 minutes, etc?
I'm trying to keep exposure changes as smooth as possible. Sometimes there is lots of clouds drifting on the horizon which temporary reduce scene light because they partially block sunlight and/or reflect light the way that camera's light meter under/over exposure too much for some images. That would look ugly when playing timelapse video. Sun position on the sky is quite predictable when time is running, so I thought some fixed timer would help to get smooth exposure changes and eliminate jumpy exposure changes.
However, there could be other solution too, if it is possible to spot measure light somewhere else than center of the screen. Maybe put grey card on lower corner of the scene under shade where camera could spot measure overall scene light better? It would be easy to crop the grey card away since often it is desirable to make a 16:9 video from timelapse anyway.
1) In the description you say that between Tv normal and Tv low the exposure is gradually ramped up. Now for a sunrise you would have to ramp it down, not up. It was not an issue for my timelapse which turned out nice, but I'm still wondering why you only ramp up and not just in the direction that the measurement requires.
2) Given that I shot a sunrise, I set up the camera in the evening and let it wait for a couple of hours. The maximum wait time in the script is 240 minutes. Why can I not set more than 240? 480 would have been nice for my use case.
@range m 0 480
I use the IXUS-115-IS and this script Yass-v4 works well. To shoot the photos is working. But I can not find out, how to turn off the display for battery-safe, while it is shooting. Do you know what to do?
Is it possible to include this variant as an option in the main version of the script? There are some situations, when fast operation is useful (city traffic for example).
Hello, first of all let me thank you for this skript. It's almost that one I was looking for. I tried it this morning and it worked pretty well. The only thing that didn't worked was the BKLite option. The backlight stayed on for the whole season. I also tried the other option, but I didn't expect them to work on my SX 230 HS. I use the HDK 1.3 version. In an other skript I used it was requestet to set a sleep time before switch off the backlight. I tried to find out, if that might be the problem, but I didn't find the exact line, where the backlight is turned off, so I hope s.o. can help me with that problem.
