Mark, You know the PZ-1 has the interval timer and it was available in a separate back for the SF-1. I don't think we paid too much for it on the PZ-1 either! <g> Regards, Bob S.

You can place the camera in advance in a location you might not want to try to reach when the action commences, and when the time comes the camera goes off, firing again and again at whatever interval you set, as many times as you wish. Now, on the Nikon F5 and other such total spec cameras, I imagine that interval shooting might be built-in. Pentax gives you the function in a separate cable release that does indeed cost about $140, but you would pay probably as much for the feature anyway in cameras in which this is internalized, and you add the bulk to the camera body. The option of having the feature outside the body is clever and saves bulk and weight for when you don't need the feature. I've already used the timer to interval shoot indoors, even with the wireless flash off-camera. The clock in the timer is very accurate. Synchronize it with your wrist watch and you will! know exactly when the camera will fire. The possibilities, as I'm sure you can imagine, are endless. To me, the TS-110 is an indispensible feature of the MZ-S system. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
