Hi,

Does anybody know whether it is possible to change the length of the clip when taking movies in the interval mode. At the moment I get a clip size of approximately 5MB which contains 50 frames, but I'm only interested in the first frame. I think for time-laps the quality is better than a silent-pic.

Use FPS override ;)

The absolute minimum length for a clip is one second (hardcoded in Canon firmware).

Hi a1ex,
thanks for the answer.
But with this great ML-feature it is a possible to get a faster shutter speed. I just wonder if the clip length can be shorter to keep the resulting data as small as possible.

Only on 60D/600D. On older cameras you can use the high jello mode.

Or use a ND filter.

OK, I see everything is as good as possible.
The amount of data is not that big problem.
It is very cool to have so many options for time-lapse with ML. :-)
