The APUTURE Intervolometer I have will only do max 300 exposures.How bout this guy?

I scrolled over to where it says N for Number and stepped down one click. The display stepped from 0 to 399. So it looks like this will do ONLY 400. This little rig is reasonably priced and works as advertised. I'm rather pleased with it. I hope this helps.

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

It's continuously variable, you'll have to estimate what f stop you're at... unless your lens has an aperture ring, in which case you just use that. It works well.

Dear Valmore, thanks for your comments. I did get the external adapter and another coupler that was necessary, and got it to work on the noted external power supply. However, I found the slow-motion options to be impossible except when working under open strong daylight. Otherwise, the amount of light entering each frame was way to low to do anything with. One would have to post-process the image files to increase their brightness and contrast, so I decided to return the camera.

There is lots to consider here. Where is your ISO set? Set it higher if you can. Also, are you using a flash? You shouldn't, as that will only work for 12-15 feet and make everything beyond it look darker. If you are zoomed it, make sure that you are in optical zoom only, and not in digital zoom. There are at least a few options to try....good luck. SK

A lot of messing with it! Set it up with like 5 minute intervals, it'll take a lot of pics but you can shorten the interval and it only needs to be off ground for deer of maybe 3' seems to shoot a bit high good luck

My thanks for your comments as well. I spent and hour looking around the web for exactly the info you've provided. Olympus sure doesn't provide anything like this on their website. What I thought was really strange was that the 300M is listed as Mac compatible on the Olympus Europe site and only Windoz on the U.S. site. Anyway, you've sold another DS-30...

Depends on the camera. If you're useing ND filters and manually setting your stop then yes. But if the camera is auto setting the exposure then it's a really expensive useless peice of equipment.

Are you using a light meter and setting your camera to the values the meter provides? If not, that would be an awesome place to start....

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

Try various settings/use a good tri-pod and take the photos at dusk when there is less contrast. worked for me on auto mode.

It seems bright, but at a distance of 4 to 5 feet you'll be shooting at f/ 5.6, ISO 400 And 1/30th to 1/60th of a second. Diffusion would make it almost unusable. Send me an email and I'll send you a photo.

I believe you (ranthon007) are operating under a false assumption. Regardless of what image size you choose to use, the actual physical pixels on the sensor must necessarily remain the size they are, and if that's too small to let in the ideal amount of light, well then you're stuck. I'm not sure whether smaller output sizes are done by rescaling or by simply using fewer of the pixels (i.e. not the whole sensor), but while you MAY be gaining some reduction of noise, there is NOT an actual increase of detail.(Anyone please correct me if any of the above is in at all incorrect!)

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

Yes, since I Bought it I hadn't the opportunity to use it a lot of times so you can see my few attempts with it on http://www.astrobin.com/users/andremeneghetti/ Compared to my other camera, enjoined so much, just need to get some experience and get some good results, I recommend it!

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.
