Time Lapse Start/Stop

Follow
Steve Peterson

So I set up one of my cameras using the first two of the Start/Stop routines.  In the first one I set it to start a 0600hrs and stop at 0900hrs, with time lapse at 15m, and the trigger interval at 5m.  In the second one I set it to start at 1500hrs and stop at 1800hrs, with the time lapse at 15m, and the trigger interval at 5m.

What I'm getting are "T" photos every 15m that start and stop at random times.  But for the most part the phots come in at 15m intervals almost continuously.

Any suggestions?

    Do you have the time zone set in the camera settings in the app?

    This isn’t related to your problem, but with 15 minute time lapse, there may not be a need to use 5 minute trigger interval unless this is on a feeder or somewhere that you get a lot of regular motion photos as well as your TL.

    Time zone is set properly and the problem still persists.  It does seem to be random on different days.  The morning time lapse period is set from 6:00 to 9:00, yet pictures are still coming in every 15 minutes and it's noon.  Sometimes it takes pictures all night long.  All of them are "T" photos.  This is one of the older cameras (GC-VCTb).

    I don't know whether you can get to the camera any time soon, but I'd default it (third menu tab in the camera), take/send manual photo, request setting update from app, then take/send manual photo again to get your settings back. Your camera may just need the cobwebs cleared.

    You can try requesting another settings update and see if that changes anything.

    okay, I'll try that.  I won't be able to visit the camera for a couple of weeks.
