Yes
It was my understanding you put it on 'self timer (2 secs)' and leave the remote held down to take a photo every 2 seconds, but it isn't working. So now I've set it on low-speed continuous.

Is this the way to do it or not?
 
Try looking on eBay for a timer that will expose every few seconds.

Anyway, it can be done like that Kryptix, but I got myself a remote that can set the camera off at intervals of 1 second to like 9999 hours, fire the shutter up to 399 times, etc etc etc.

Was £28, and I'm yet to use it in anger.
 
Low speed continuous is 3 shots per sec, so 5 more shots than you want possibly, but would be an interesting way to do this. With the write flash card you may just keep up with write speed for a decent time.

The manula basically says you get one shot on the self timer with a delay of two or ten secs, not a continuous timer delay shot.

I just took like 1,500 shots so I'll upload the video in a minute. :lol:

What version have you bought? The Canon version is mega money for something that I just fancy having a play with, but nearer £30, I can justify that to myself!

I've tried the low speed continous with a remote control and the results are interesting, but put off a bit by the sheer number of shots it took in such a short period of time - I "only" let if rip for 10 secs but still took 30 odd shots:eek:

Pretty decent result really! I'll have to give it a bash myself.
 
Anyone know any good tools for timelapse with a d40 (tethered to a laptop i guess)?

Kryptix, how did you put the video together, i.e. what software?

Picasa 3.

Tools > Create Video (after selecting all the images) :)

I may need to order a remote like you have but really can't justify another £28.

Pfft, what's another £28 on-top of all that other kit you've bought!

Saving for a 100-400L and a 1.4x TC at the moment. I also want to start with all the studio lighting so gunna watch the pennies.

Blimey, no holds barred with you!

Won't lie, I'm bloody jealous. Wish I had the monies to spend!

I'm not rich dude, just buy cheap 2nd hand and sell for a profit in most cases. Lenses hold their value very well.

For example, my 24-105L cost me like £628 brand new. I'll get at least £700 when I sell 2nd hand as I'll keep it in immaculate condition with everything it came with.
 
Well you inspired me to give it ago.

Think this was 30 frames which clearly isn't enough lol.

My timer will only let me do upto 99 photos though so it won't get much longer than this :(.

I've got a battery grip from ebay that will act as a repeat-timer so you can either set specific times or intervals (and the total number of repeats).
Similar (but cheaper) than this one.

The other way with a Canon is to use the EOS Utility that comes with it to shoot tethered.

I have also heard of people using remotes with a built in timer so that it triggers repeatedly.
 
Didn’t someone on here build remotes for a while that did exactly this?

(Will have a search)

Edit - cant find it, maybe I was dreamt it :thinking:
