  • In this video I teach you how to use the Nikon inbuilt intervalometer.
    This was done on a Nikon D750 but the process is the same on most Nikon DSLR's.

    exposure smoothing is not what you explained. It is for the camera to adjust the exposure to somewhat match the previous shot. If you are in M mode it works only if you set auto ISO mode on with a sufficient range.

    Very very helpful video. I shot the Northern lights last night with the help of the video.
    Just one thing to add is, the drive mode has to be 'S' which I later figured out, I generally shoot on CH so couldn't get the 'Start' button on the menu activated.

    Thank you for the video. Does the internal interval settings obviates the needs for an external intervalometer? I use a D610 and i'm heading with a group for a milky way shoot. The group recommended carrying an intervalometer.

    • @dodatech
      @dodatech  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The inbuilt intervalometer settings can be used instead of an external unit. The only reason I would use an external unit is if the external unit had a feature that I needed that my camera did not provide. However I do recommend either way that you explicitly know how to use the intervalometer before you head out to shoot the milky way. This would minimize any potential issues on the actual shoot date.

    Thanks for this tutorial video. Have a question though. Can you set the D750 intervalometer to do bulb shooting/ long exposure? Can you set it so that the shutter stays open and automatically shuts off after a specified time like for example 2 minutes? Thank you.

    • @dodatech
      @dodatech  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      From my knowledge, this is not possible. For this feature, you'd have to look at an external intervalometer that can be bought separately.

  • @gizmoguyar

    Can someone clarify the definitions of "Interval" and "Shots" for me? Specifically, I don't understand the "Intervals x Shots = xxx" portion. In this video you have a 4 second exposure, a 10 second interval and 2 shots per interval. So I'd expect 0-4 seconds would be the first exposure, 4-5 seconds would be a delay, 5-9 seconds would be the second shot, and 9-10 seconds would be a delay, completing the 10 second interval. But what appears to happen in the video is seconds 0-8 are a pause, and then seconds 8-12 are the exposure. This is a 12 second pattern...??

      some maths is required and he doesn't explain it very well. the interval time is the time between the set number of shots. so you might set it so 4 photos are taken every ten minutes for example. each of those photos will be taken however you set up the camera (ie, 10 sec exposure). obviously you have to be mindful that the interval time is longer than the length of time for the group of shots taken at that interval. if say you set it to take 9 shots at 2 second intervals and you set say 3 intervals, it will actually skip the second interval as it takes longer than 2 seconds to fire off 9 shots. the interval time does NOT start at the end of the last shot fired. you can't, for example, set it to take a 30 second exposures at 4 second intervals (well you can, but with this following proviso). after it takes the first shot, it will immediately take the next 30 second exposure but only if you set at least 8 intervals (30/4=7.5). if you only set 6 intervals, you will only get the initial 30 second exposure and no more.

    So, I am planning to set my Nikon d7500 on a tripod and get me and my family posed in front of a big Christmas tree. I want the camera to take about 10 photos and then maybe we’d move and take another 10 photos. So, what settings on manual and how would you set the interval timer?

  • @alexandre25945
    @alexandre25945 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the info!!
    Question, can you set it for let’s say 300 shots or 9 is the highest?

    • @subrata6081
      @subrata6081 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes you can. no of interval=300, shot=1, thus 300x1=300 shots.
      , no of interval=150, shot=2, thus 150x2=300 shots.

      =Trying to explain further=
      The "Interval" signifies time gap between shooting photos,
      "No. of intervals x shots" = "how many intervals you want" x "in each internal how many shots".
      so let's say my "Interval" = 3" (sec), it means each 3sec camera will turn up to get a photo. in "No. of intervals x shots" , if you mention "No. of interval" =10, it means after every 3 sec, camera will get active to take photo and for 10 times,
      along with it, say you have "shots=1", then each interval it will take 1 photo. if you increase the "shots" (which is maximum 9), it will take that many shots in a single go...but we would mostly want one single photo each interval time.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!
    The time Nikon counts internally it is binary meaning 1,2,4,8,16,32,etc. Ergo when you setting the intervalometer you count 32 plus the interval for example 1"sec for total of 33"seconds! I tried and works fine!!!
    A NIKON's well knowledgeable technician explained it to me!...

    • @okidoke4822
      @okidoke4822 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @buddyaustin7232 do you notice that when you take a long exposure that the camera takes a while to process the image? So, if the exposure time and the processing time exceeds the interval time (which is the time set from the beginning of one group of exposures to the next and NOT the time between the last exposure to the beginning of the next), then it will skip the next interval. Darrell Young explains this in his book "Mastering the Nikon D750".

    • @okidoke4822
      @okidoke4822 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      if the exposure time for the one or multiple shots exceeds the interval time, then the next interval is skipped. I believe you also have to take into account the processing time of long exposures, but I haven't tested that yet myself.

    • @okidoke4822
      @okidoke4822 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      well, yes, but understand this - it will take the initial exposure, but for subsequent exposures the interval time needs to be longer than the length of time of the exposure or group of exposures (shots). The interval time does NOT start at the end of the last shot fired. So if you set it to take 1 x 30s exposure at 4 second intervals, after it takes the first shot, it will immediately take the next 30 second exposure, BUT only if you set at least 8 intervals (30/4=7.5). if you only set 6 intervals, you will only get the initial 30 second exposure and no more.

    I have been looking all over the place for someone to show the intervalometer "start time" feature. The "now" features works like a charm however, the "start time" never, ever works?!
    I checked time and date, off bulb, played with every single option but nothing works!
    Example - I tried: start time 00:06, Interval 10", number of intervals 005
    I even called the camera stores and they don't seem to know how to make it work.
    Have you been able to do it?
    If you have, could you please show it step by step as to how to set it up and go about it?
    Thank you in advance.

    • @amthunder1
      @amthunder1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Got it!!!!!!
      The problem was how the "time" is determined! You see, the manual and everyone else were not at all clear HOW to read the time; meaning that you place the Hour and Minute according to what the clock in the bottom right corner is displaying. So if it is 13:00 (current time) and I wanted the timer to start 5 minutes from now, I have to enter 13-05
      The way I was doing it was just entering 00-05 expecting to start in Five minutes. Of course, that didn't have a chance in hell of working!
      I know, I wasn't the only one who didn't know because I even took it to a camera store and the people there couldn't figure it out either. Until a season night photographer was kind enough to solved the mystery for me!
      Maybe, you could be the 1st one to make a vid. with that feature. Everyone does the "now" option. :)
      Thanks for replying and for trying to figure it out!

Basically, for those who don't understand still, it's not a countdown you are setting, it's the actually time you want it to start, and if you're in another time zone and haven't adjusted the time on your camera, you have to make the relevant allowances.

    What do you mean when you say “I’m going to have 1000 intervals of 2 shots’?

    • @Shenanigans3D
      @Shenanigans3D 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It will take 2 shots per 1000 clicks.
      Think of it like this. The number of interval is the amount of "blocks" you want. The xshot is the amount of pics per "block".
      So 1000x2 would be a total of 2000 shots.
      The interval is the length of time BETWEEN the start of the FIRST "block" and the start of the SECOND block.
      Example= 10sec interval with a 1000 x 2
      At 1/10sec shutter speed.
      TIMER STARTS: 1/10sec shot: 1/10sec shot: wait for timer to end: repeat 1000 times.
      You MUST account for your shutter speed when you set up the time between shots.
      If you want a 10sec long exposure and want it to take one shot every 30sec for 4hrs You would set it up like so.
      Interval of 0:00'40
      0480x1=480
      Timer start: 10sec shot; wait remaining time of 30sec ( Remember we account shutter time 10sec + 30sec = 40sec ): repeat 480 times.
      30sec ÷ 60mins is 120
      120 x 4hrs = 480 photos

      @donbastiano7 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@stemac67 I totally forgot about my comment! So I've finaly found the solution by myself! You have to set a longer interval time. An interval time which is shorter than the shutter speed time will not let enough time to the shutter to take the picture, save it and launch the next shot. Last time I've done a Milkyway timelapse, I think I've set the interval time to 30 seconds and a shutter speed of 10 seconds. Hope it helps. (Note that the interval time includes : the time your dslr will take to shoot a picture depending on your shutter speed, saving the picture, displaying it a couple of seconds on your dslr display and then taking the next shot. So if it still doesn't work, set a longer interval time.)
