Title: First post of my first Time Lapse...........
Post by: nveo on March 30, 2015, 09:54:35 AM
This is the first time lapse I have done... The camera stopped at 309 shots and gave me a error about my card, I tried to restart it but didn't work for some reason  :-\..... I will be trying this again soon.....

some sugestions:
*) try having longer shutter times, in essence the best would be 1/2 interval time, it creates motion blur thus the time lapse would look smooth. You either will need to close diaphragm and/or use HD filters.
*) I've noticed that some cards become unstable when get close to full, and you should format them once in a while
*) one practice that I have found really useful is to reset file number counter, it creates new folder and starts numbering from 0000, much easier to manage files.

Thank you for your reply and sugestions  :D

I will try the longer shutter times and see how it goes....... I think the card I was using is bad, when I format the card in the camera it show as having just under 8gb of space and it is a 32gb card, but when I format it on my laptop it goes back to 32gb.......... :-\ :-\ I used my 16gb this morning and very thing worked well... :D

As ansius said - longer frame times would increase the motion blur and make it look smooth.  :)
