Hi - not 100% sure I am putting this in the right part of the forum on the website but the question relates to my equipment to perform timelapse. I have a cheap Chinese remote shutter which can perform timelapse and has worked perfectly for years doing many other functions. I am using a Canon 5d Mark iii with 1x 64 gb SD card (45mb/s) and 1 x 32 gb CF (60mb/s) and on Friday night I set up my camera on a tripod to capture the morning time-lapse.
So set the remote shutter to count down for 7.5 hrs which it did and then i wanted the camera to take a photo every 2 seconds until basically I had woken up and stopped it. So the camera started about 4.30am taking photos every two seconds and I went and stopped the camera at around 7.30am. But when i looked at the images I had actually got 4 different timelapses as the camera seemed to have stopped at certain intervals during the timelapse. I assume this is down to the camera buffering, however i can't see why as i set the file size to the smallest JPEG (as only a practice run).
I have done a bit of analysis on the photos and it shows the first timelapse ran from 4:25am-4.49am and then stopped for 6 minutes. Timelapse two ran from 4.55am - 5.07am, then stopped for 5.42 seconds, then timelapse 3 started at 5.12am - 5.28am and then stopped for 8 minutes, then timelapse 4 started at 5.37am-5.48am.
Anyone else experienced this or have any idea why it might have done this?! Thanks in advance
Chris
