I noticed the shutter count has a maximum of 99. May I asked if this item allows the count to go to infinity? I'm planning to take star trails.

Yea you can, instead of using timer however you just use the shutter control which will just continue until uoi go back and stop it

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

The viewfinder on the 780is is a joke. It's SO tiny. I feel like an absolute moron trying to use it. Otherwise, LOVE the camera.I'm getting a camera for my friend for her birthday, and the 940is is the easy choice for me.

Indeed, the camera hasn't got a "total number of shots" counter accessible to the user.Mine has nulled the file-numbering three times though, so I know I have over 30 000 shots on it.- It has been semi-retired now for the 5d Mk III, so it will only operate as a backup camera in the future (still working perfectly though)

My experience is it depends on how you set the camera up in the menu. You cam do a timed exposure or multiple exposures just like you can If you push the sitter button but you have to set it up first. I've taken 9 exposure HDR shots. You can't set any of this up with this device - has to be done in the camera first.

Make sure you camera came with a manual and follow any the steps for problems. The below answers are good ideas. I have not had any problems and also added a memory chip to allow me to store a hundreds pictures when photographing planets it may take a hundred shots to get the one that I like. Good luck I believe the camera is great D Hudson 1/30/14

Not the question I asked! When I go into Battery Check on the camera shutter count is different for each battery. I'd like to know if this is normal, I would have expected that each battery would show the same number of shutter actuations. I am not asking about max number of actuations for the batteries

Due to how you can't manually select the shutter speed sometimes it gets a little bit tricky to shoot in low light. You'll have to play with the iso and the exposure settings for a while before you get a nice result. The hand-held starlight mode doesn't always work. The night scene mode works fine but you'll need a tripod and ISO is auto so sometimes pics come out grainy. HD VIDEO mode works perfect in low light; I've been going to local band shows and the videos come out great. At the beggining I was a bit frustrated for not being allowed to manipulate shutter speed but after playing with the camera for a month or so now I get some really great results in low light.

The description on the Amazon page is incorrect - it will only take a maximum of 99 shots, not 399. Or, you can set to infinity in which case it will keep shooting until you tell it to stop. I find the 99 shot limit a little frustrating. For example, I'd like to set it up to take shots every 5 seconds for two hours and then leave the house for work. But if I set it to infinity, it will shoot until I get back home, and if I set it to 99, it will only shoot for a little over 8 minutes. Seems like an obvious feature to be missing, but I'm not sure if it's common in other remotes like this.

I sure wish I could help you but I purchased that item as a gift for a friend . I personally have a small camera with a different card in it. When I put the card in I have choices as to different quality of pictures I can take. Then the camera will tell me how many pictures I can take with that card on that quality of picture setting. This way I can check the number of pictures at each quality setting. So I choose fine NOT extra fine quality. At that setting I can get over a thousand pictures. I know this does not address the particular card you are inquiring about but it might help you to find out your answer to your question. Good luck and I wish you many good pictures. I know nothing about the panoramic card. I suggest you check with manufacturer at their web site. That is where I go to find temperature extremes for card etc.

Hi, I am a beginner with this camera. So far I have only used the "Auto" function as I use this camera primarily for taking pictures of merchandise under natural light. Sorry I could not be of more help. Linda P.S. the camera takes awesome pics for what I do :)

It'll be about like shooting a 17-35mm on a full-frame camera. Bigg3r concern is Sigma quality. I've had two of them where the shutter started to stick after 2 or 3 years, and Sigma no longer made parts for repair. I'm sticking with Canon from now on.

tens of thousands and it works absolutely perfectly fine. I love the camera. not one problem with anything about the camera. I will update with the exact shutter click numbers asap. by the way, I have upgraded to a d7100 (the deal was too good to pass up) but my primary is still the d70s

Yeah, unfortunately that was something I checked into early on in my research. Really a bummer, because over the years I used it a lot, I built up a great set of lenses for the old girl. But I can't see myself going back to film any time in the near future. I'm on my 3rd Elph, and I'm hooked on digital!

Yes. There is a maximum number of exposures. I believe it is 999 since it has three digit place holders.

If you're asking about photographing the stars, then (in my opinion) it doesn't have enough magnification. It's a "normal" lens, not a telephoto which is typically used for that. If you're asking if it's good in low light, then the answer is yes, sort of. For the price it's great. It's sharp wide open (at f2.4). Some faster lenses that go down to f1.4 aren't sharp at that aperture, so they end up being usable only at f2.4 to f2.8. Dollar for dollar this is a very good lens.

I do not think that there is a limit to the length of the filming. It all depends on the size of your SD card. At 1000 or 480 fps you are getting a much smaller image but a lot of frames. Also when you set the frame rate the length of your possible shoot is calculated depending on the remaining card memory and is indicated somewhere on the screen.
