Relay mode, approx one photo missing from each camera no matter the time interval between the photos. Pretty consistant at -1 pic on every fight.
As per my previous request, if you can identify the file name of the photo that occurred before the one that is missing it would help me to interpret the log that you posted.
Servo mode, mutch higher trigger speeds- less shutter lag. However in this case extra photos are a common scenario, the numbers vary, from +1,+2 to -1 on every flight.
Extra photos? I'm not sure that I understand what an extra photo is? Again, image file names that I can cross reference with the log would help a lot here.
It almost looks like there is no way around it ?
With over 5000 downloads of the script, I think it's fair to say it is pretty stable. So we just need to figure out what is happening here in your specific case.
Generally speaking, this usually comes down to timing or camera setup (Canon modes). That's why I want to see in the log where the extra/missing images are occurring. With the help of a few dedicated UAV owners, we got this script to run reliably at 2 frames per second. I'm pretty sure we can fix your issue(s) too.
Also is there a way to set the lens to extract once turning on the camera? Right now the lens extract upon first usb command which increases the shutter lag of the first photo alot.
Well, you could start the camera in shooting mode in the first place? Just press and hold the On/Off button until you hear the lens extend when you power up the camera. Or half-press the shutter button to switch to shooting mode prior to launching your aircraft. I could add something to activate the lens when the script starts but that would have to be an additional option as most people seem to prefer the lens retracted during take-off and landing phases of a flight (for obvious reasons).
