d. Time Lapse Mode
The time lapse mode enables you to take pictures with a certain interval
between each other until you reach a certain number of pictures. You can also
define the exposure of the pictures in seconds, if your camera is in bulb mode.
If your camera is not in bulb mode, Miops Smart cannot override the exposure
settings of your camera.
The time lapse mode has three parameters. The first one is the interval. This is
the duration between each triggering. You can set it anywhere between 1 sec
and 1 hour with 1 second increments. Miops Smart will wait so long, before it
initiates another triggering. You can see the counter counting down for each
cycle, so you can see how much time is left before the next cycle.
The second parameter is the exposure. Again, you can set the exposure
anywhere between 1 sec and 1 hour with 1 second increments. The specified
exposure will only be applied if the camera is in bulb mode, otherwise the
camera will take the pictures per its settings. If the exposure is set to 0, the
Miops Smart will trigger your camera for about 500 milliseconds. After this it
will start the next cycle. In this configuration, every cycle will last for the
duration of the interval plus 500 milliseconds. This will be the total duration for
every cycle. If the exposure value of your camera is higher than this, the next
triggering will be missed and you will get a lower number of pictures in total.
In order to avoid this you need to adjust the interval value so that it will cover
the exposure duration of your camera.
Example: The exposure of the camera is set to 3 seconds and you want
to take a picture in every 30 seconds. In this case the interval must be at
least 33 seconds, because otherwise the second triggering will be missed and
you will not get as much pictures as you wish.
Example: The camera is aperture mode and the expected exposure is
less than 500 milliseconds and you want to take a picture in every 10
seconds. In this case, you can set the interval to 10 seconds as the cycle of
the camera for each picture will be shorter than the cycle of Miops Smart for
every picture.
