I was thinking if our camera could automatically take pictures at different intervals we could get some great high resolution time-lapse videos.

The only method I could come up with to do this would be a program that emulates the d-pad/optical mouse click on a timer loop with camera.exe open, which would autofocus and take a picture again and again.

The camera settings could point to a new folder, then throw them into any editing suite and we'd be set.

Anyone know of a program or method that could accomplish this?

there is a function on the camara the 2nd button on the top left you can choose continu so you can take 9 pictures after each other

the continuous shooting function lowers the resolution, does not offer different timing intervals and requires the camera button to physically be pushed.

it lowers the resolution to take rapid fotos of the action
if u use full resolution thre must be at least 5 seconds relapse between fotos to let the processor analyze the full resolution

Time-lapse could look great even with a 5-second interval, actually depending on the subject that may even be too large of an interval.
I just need to find a way to have the camera automatically take pictures without having to push the button.

i would definitely like to have something like this, would be useful as hell. willing to buy beers for anyone who makes such an application!

Bump, No one has any ideas? It seems so simple.

I reinstalled G-Profile today and saw it had an option to execute a program based on a calendar event, it also has an Argument box in which I naively typed "enter" hoping it would simulate an enter command but to no avail. The exe started but did nothing, does anyone know if theres a command that could be typed into the arguments box to have the software emulate an enter keypress?

hey xenspidey, any progress?
