DSC RX10 M4

Within the mass of options in the menu is there any way to program the camera to take 60 photographs, one every 45 seconds?

Thanks,

Davide

Hi Davide,

I'm looking into this and will update the thread when I have an answer for you. In the meantime perhaps another member of the community can advise you.

Best wishes,

Sean

Hi David,

I don't think that's possible.

Hi Win_8,

Sadly I think you are right.

Yesterday Sony Support sent me a page from the Help Guide which forced me to look again at ‘Self-timer(Cont)’ on the camera. Previously I had not noticed that there are six pre-defined options related to this setting from 2 secs 3 images to 10 secs 5 images. It's better than nothing but certainly not what I was looking for and I can’t help thinking it’s a missed opportunity.

I guess for such applications I’ll have to stick with my Nikon D5300 which allow me to specify the number of shots to take and the interval between each shot. On a recent building project I had it running for over eight hours in this unattended mode.

Regards,

David

Simple answer, no! You can get around this by buying a programable remote, I bought the Pixel Pro TW-283, it's brilliant and at less than £40 a great buy.

Just been using it to photograph the Perseids meteor shower. Set it up and left it to it. Took 80 30sec exposure photos no problem
