DSLR Timelapse settings (with light changes)

[Aamli]

Hey!
I have done some timelapses with my t2i and 7D, no problems so far. But what If you are doing timelapses of something that will have a drastic light change? Like a sunset or something similar. I feel you really need something on auto? Maybie have the ISO on auto? What do you suggest?

thanks

jaydigges has got it.
Tom Guilmette recently did a 6 hour day to night timelpase in a stadium (Fenway). So he dealt with the day/night change and also the lights turning on. The "green square" mode worked pretty darn well.

Yea i have to agree that was pretty impressive. at the end he said he might start to try aperture priority and use shutter speed to compensate for light change, you should test each of them out and see what happens.
