Nice in that while setting the interval etc it also displays what the show length will be for the finished video.<br />One of the few review criticisms of the camera was the short length of battery life. So far I have found it fine. I have 2, just in case. After today's use, which included a few ditched videos where I misunderstood the very brief instructions in the 'advanced' manual, it still indicated a full charge.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-30913206469185587152020-09-17T20:43:59.917+01:002020-09-17T20:43:59.917+01:00John this is fun but does it know the interval to ...John this is fun but does it know the interval to use based on the initial shot. I cocked up and used two minutes recently when one or less would have done the job. Ten thousand frames made it to the bin before I twigged. Never again will I time lapse anything without thinking and testing, this was a timber frame house going up in a day. Good job I had two cameras running and I'd popped one on 30s. <br />How long does the battery last? My 5D Mk II last about two hours and as I have six I do have time to recharge.<br />I like the results from time lapse and will try for some more. <br />Looks like it does the job and the video is perfect or as near perfect as it has to be for YouTube.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.com
