Re: Time lapse

If 1 second interval RAW only exposures were done for the 3 hour eclipse period on a 24MP camera, you would have a 6 minute "video" at 30 fps. You would also need 253 GB to store those RAW files. I have my doubts as to the realistic possibilities of a 1 second interval without buffer issues. On

Re: Time lapse

Raw its like 1/sec basically. Close enough. If you want to do 1s interval time-lapses that is the only way to go. It might be a little faster for jpeg but i wouldn't hope for much. On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 4:00 PM, Darren Addy wrote: > The answer to Larry's question depends

Re: Time lapse

I gotta ask? Why the bracketing? To make HDR timelapses? Or were you trying to make the best out of changing light without bulb ramping? On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 3:10 PM, Matthew Hunt wrote: > For the K-3 II, it's close to 1/second, but might fall a little short > of that. I did a

Ann, Thanks for sharing your calendar and the site you are now using. I have begun uploading some photos to create a calendar. Should work on it this evening but my brain is rather tired and I am finding it hard to focus on the creative at the moment. I am curious have you purchased a

K-3 question followup

Thanks for all the suggestions on a K-3 with telephoto setup. Exposure bracketing with self timer is definitely the best way to go, it works very nicely and I can get 5 widely spread out stable exposures with a single shutter press. I’ll set the drive mode before totality, it keeps it set

Re: Time lapse

For the K-3 II, it's close to 1/second, but might fall a little short of that. I did a timelapse with 3-shot bracketing at an interval of 3 seconds, using an external intervalometer, and it mostly kept up but there were occasional dropped shots. I was using a recent Sandisk Extreme card and

Re: K-3 question

Larry had the answer that I believe I am using (finally back from a business trip, so will be testing this). Exposure Bracketing with 2 second self-timer, set so that it will take all bracketed shots with a single shutter button push.

Re: Time lapse

The answer to Larry's question depends on several things besides the model of the camera. 1) Are you shooting RAW, JPEG, or BOTH? 2) What is the write speed of the SD card? The purpose of the buffer is to save an overflow of information that needs to get written on the card. So the amount of info
