Is it possible to set theis camera into a mode that takes pictures every 1 (or 1.5) seconds? If not, can the shutter be triggered vis USB?
1298567
No to the first answer. I never tried triggering via USB but I doubt that unless you maybe find some other software that can do that.

No on both accounts. However, there is a solution for Time Elapsed Photography for this camera, which if I understand your question correctly, it is what you want to do. Therefore, look up the Tempus TimeElapse Remote. It's an IR blinker that you place infront of the camera and set the camera to remote and it will take a picture every time it blinks.

I've been meaning to look that up myself. - I have found that there is only a Self timer continuous mode lasting 10 seconds. 3 or 5 images selectable. As far as USB triggering, I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that considering a generic remote is available for about $10 or less and is much more useful. You can go to Sonystyle.com support and download the manual if you have more questions.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

Yes, there is an option for burst photos. It will keep taking pictures as long as you hold down the shutter button.

I own one of these I have seen articles telling you how to reveal the shutter actuations but they come with warnings about messing up the firmware. As far as I know there is no way to get the exact shutter count with that said the file number given to the next picture you take should put you in the ballpark

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so

Just plug it into the jack on your camera and set the frequency of the shots (i.e. the number of shots per second or per minute you want it to take). It's easy.

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged. That might work.
881256
Yes. There the camera can be set for continuous shooting. Go to Menu. Select the Camera Icon for Shooting Menu. Select Continuous. You will need to experiment with the selections there.

No, you can't set the aperture, but see my review; you can set the ISO speed, or chose "kids & pets" program if you want a wide aperture and fast shutter. You can also bracket the exposure +/- 2 "increments" but I haven't played with that yet to see if it alters the aperture or shutter speed, or both!

My camera has two modes. One is a time delay feature. So I'll get everything ready, set a delay, hold the camera out and wait for the timer. The other mode is a rapid picture mode. It allows me to have the camera take pictures once a minute until it runs out of memory. So I set the camera to start taking time slice pictures. The first few pictures are me positioning the camera and throw away. The last few pictures are me turning the camera off and throw away. Hopefully I get a few good pictures in the middle. It has been a little trial and error but I'm getting better at it.

Yes, I've done it and with no conscious action on my part. If I set it to "sports action," the icon that looks like a stick figure pirouetting, and hold the shutter down, it will take continuous pictures as long as you hold the shutter down.

Is there a way to switch back and forth from standard definition mode while shooting, and high definition mode a time period, later? Is the time period programmable?How many USB ports are on the camera? Can I plug a mouse into one of the ports on the camera, or do I have to have a host computer for that sort of thing?

A second or so... but it will take a 6 pic burst in like 2 seconds if you set it that way.... I use video mode most of time.

No, but you may be able to do this with the "Bracketing" function in your camera. The timer just let's you periodically trigger the camera to shoot. (Just a user, I don't really know all that much about the product but I like it)

yes, there is a setting called manual mode with shutter speed and aperture. Each setting shows directions for that setting or explains the setting on the screen. We have not begun to use all of the choices, so cannot say how well they work, but take into account that the camera is a $100 camera. We are getting decent pictures from a camera which I am willing to allow my children to try their hands at different settings and pictures, all with digital, so they can be printed or deleted. It is solid and easy to hold. and handle

There is a servo connection that attaches to the camera. This allows remote trigger of it. Also to change modes from still to video.
