intervalometer limited by time

ok, so what this would do is enable an option to say "i want to take pics every 5 seconds for 2 hours", instead of having to manually set the number of pics... or even just let it take pics until you get bored (or the card full ;) )

i think it shouldn't be too difficult to program, seeing what an awesome work you are already doing :)

does it exist? did i just oversee it?

thanks!

This could easily be done in a script.  Most current scripts take a set number of photos, you would basically would need to alter this so that it monitors the total time ratehr than the number of shots.

yup, just wanted to know if it was already scripted and i hadn't figured it out... :)

guess i'll have to freshen up my programming skills ;) (but i won't feel bad if anybody does so before i get to)

thx!

Or your basic arithmetic skills.

e.g.
n = (number of seconds)/(number of seconds between pictures)
"i want to take pics every 5 seconds for 2 hours"
n = (60*60*2)/5

Don't forget what the H stands for.

yeah, i could also press the shutter every 5 sec ;)

what i mean is if we're already scripting to make our life easier, maybe some lines of code can help even further... and anyway, i would prefer inputting 5 hours better than 7200 pics. maybe it's just me, i don't know :)

thx anyway! :)

Actually it looks like this one is written that way already (and it's in LUA):
