Trap focus - delay between shots

[Karavanen]

I need a delay of about 30 sek betweeen shots when using trap focus, as it is now the camera is taking pictures with about a 1sek interval when an object stays in focus. I would like the camera to wait 30sek before firing another shot even if the object stays in focus. 
Is it possible to implement this function?

This is for a danceperformance in Sweden in november 2013.
I am prepared to pay someone for implementing it.

Kind regards

camera model?
which release do you use?

just curious - what is your use case/scenario?

[Karavanen]

Hi!
Release 2.3
Right now I'm on a 60D, but the performance will be made with three 600d and 70-300 tamron zoom lenses.

In a big open room:
Camera is on a tripod, focus is approx 10-15m away. When someone steps in to focus, camera should fire.

Then wait atleast 30sec before firing again.

This is quite easy with a PicoC script.

Could you help me write it?

Code Select Expand

/*
@title Trap Focus loop
*/


while (TRUE)
{

while (TRUE)
{
press(SHOOT_HALF);
if (get_focus_confirm()) break;
};

takepic();
sleep(30);
}

Something like that should work. No way to stop it though
