Here is my first major run with the M3 and rawopint. I just held the camera against a monitor and played the following video:
The video simply simulates the transition from day (255,255,255) to night (0,0,0) and vice versa in 35 minutes.
Basic data of the run:
Interval = 6s
Tv max = 3s
ISO min = 100
ISO max = 1600
EV shift -1EV (the m96 curve is not at 0 but at -96)
As you can see on the m96 curve, rawopint does exactly what you expect from it. In complete darkness there is, of course, an intrusion because at Tv = 3s and ISO = 1600 are not enough.
The run starts with Tv = 1/8s and ISO = 100. The algorithm then increases the exposure time to Tv = 3s. When the Tv = 3s is reached, the ISO value increases until finally it reaches the maximum value of ISO = 1600.
There are also no apparent abnormalities in the JPG. Interval and sleep also show no abnormalities.
Looks pretty perfect.
I would like to thank all those who have made this possible. Good job.
By the use of the M3 (or M10) for time-lapse, one has now straight through the use of wide-angle objective completely new possibilities.
However, with the M3, the shutter is opened and closed with each shot. This is, however, only in single mode. This does not happen in the continuous mode. In continuous mode the aperture remains fixed in the set position.
Well, this could give you the chance, to make a “True Holy Grail” – 3-way auto ramping for time lapse transitions (Tv, ISO and Av).
