Installation requires the latest Canon firmware and modification of the headers of the Compact flash card. View and change the ISO while looking through the viewfinder. Other usefult utilities, like a depth-of-field and hyperfocal calculator, or a time-lapse calculator. Scripting support: an intervalometer, a self-timer, and a touch-less trigger.

After the tool takes screenshots from one or more monitors, it is possible to crop, zoom and create picture-in-picture effects. Up to 9 presets (complete snapshots of all settings and parameters) quickly accessible. Verdict: Chronolapse is the best open source time lapse software to capture still images from a webcam, camera or desktop automatically, then edit and combine them into complex time-lapse videos and share them. I stumbled onto this site here 400plus! It’s a hacked up firmware for specifically this model of camera that introduce plenty of new functionality:Ĭonfigurable AutoISO and Safety Shift for creative modes.Įxtended long-exposure BULB mode: up to 100 minutes.Įxtended AEB capabilities: up to 9 bracketed shots and 32 minute long exposures, with configurable direction.Īlso, flash-based and ISO-based AEB scripts. My next idea was that the remote shutter release could be hacked up using an arduino in order to fire off shutter, this has been done before but being a software guy I thought it would make sense to do a bit of research first. Unfortunately the camera had no in built functionality to do this. I wanted to take a series of photo’s over the course of a few hours in order to allow me to create a time-lapse video. So I’ve got a Canon 400D (aka rebel & XIi) camera and love to tinker with it.
