Looong time lapse - 700D - possible?

[nielsskovjoergensen]

Hi all.

I am looking for a setup, to make long time lapses at work. I am trying to capture the assembly of some machinery, which spans over 1-2 months, with a picture every 20-30 minut.

I would like a fully automatic setup and found magic lantern. I am considering buying a Canon 700D with an wifi sd-card, and a power adaptor

• Anyone experience with that long timelapses?
• Does Magic lantern allow up 30 minutter between shots?
• Is it possible to install magic lantern on a wifi sd-card and transfer every picture automatic to a computer?

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

I'm new to ML and still working on getting time lapse working using a slow frame rate. 0.6 fps is the slowest but I get an assembled movie out of the camera. My problem is exposure control.

For your application I have had success in taking individual pictures using INTERVALOMETER in SHOOT tab.  It will take shots from 1 sec to 8 hr.  You should use manual settings as any change between shots cause flicker in your final movie. If you have varying light, set it for the middle exposure.

Hope this helps.
