These are produced by third party companies, and you will see one example if you do a Google search for 'TM-S Timer remote control for Sony DSC-R1.' It functions by generating a simple 'trigger' signal at an interval specified by the user, and this will allow you to capture the images in the way that you describe above.<BR type="_moz" /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";">Thanks,</P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";">Simon<BR /></P><P></P><P>Message was edited by: blaireau_photo</P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:14:12 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/image-capture-at-fixed-time-intervals/m-p/691787#M254 blaireau_photo 2013-03-22T09:14:12Z Re: Image capture at fixed time intervals https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/image-capture-at-fixed-time-intervals/m-p/691788#M255 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P style=";">Thanks Simon. Is it possible to synchronize about 3 cameras to take images with the control of the intervalometer at the same time?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:43:42 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/image-capture-at-fixed-time-intervals/m-p/691788#M255 femifederal 2013-03-22T10:43:42Z Re: Image capture at fixed time intervals https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/image-capture-at-fixed-time-intervals/m-p/691789#M256 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P style=";">It is possible to do this but, as you might imagine, it requires a little more effort and quite possibly additional hardware to work successfully.<BR type="_moz" /></P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">For captures of a quite short duration you may be ok connecting an intervalometer to each cam. However things will quickly run out of synch and make it very difficult to coordinate in post production. Over a longer duration things get very specialised and quite technical.</P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">There aren't many affordable specialised systems for this and the only one I can think of is the set up suggested by OpenMoCo <A _mce_href="http://openmoco.org/page/shutter-expander-41-camera-bulb-splitter" href="http://openmoco.org/page/shutter-expander-41-camera-bulb-splitter">http://openmoco.org/page/shutter-expander-41-camera-bulb-splitter</A><BR type="_moz" /></P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">Hopefully that gives you an idea of what's involved.<BR /></P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">Cheers<BR type="_moz" /></P><P style=";">Mick<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 07:39:52 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/image-capture-at-fixed-time-intervals/m-p/691789#M256 Mick2011 2013-03-23T07:39:52Z
