Vocare,
Barry is right, of course. But what you can do is use the ONE-SHOT record mode. I have used it effectively by setting the record time to .5 second (I think that's the default). Then use the remote control to hit record. It will record for half a second. Then wait and hit record again after 30 seconds or 5 minutes or whatever interval you like. Of course, this isn't automatic like interval recording. But if you're patient and willing to take the time, you can achieve a similar result.
By the way, this is the most amazing forum I have seen anywhere! I can't tell you how much I've learned from all of you and how many hours I've spend reading the different threads.
I've successfully sped up video taken over time, making it seem like time-lapse. It's not as good, since it tends to stick with the same white balance and exposure levels once it's recording, making a sunrise look less than optimal.
one stop record mode.
basically for this reason, i am using a powerbook to do interval recording.
as everything is recorded to powerbook, i can use it to do editing on it later on.
but just a concern, how do people do time lape for days and months.
is there a secret to it.
by framing to the same frame...
and the white balance?
any better solution ...
