I'm into time lapse photography...is there a good intervalometer that works well with this camera or is there a firmware update that might offer that?

There is not any item that I know of but there is an app for the phone through the app store that will automatically make a video time lapse. I have not had a chance to use it yet but searching the internet about the app might be able to answer the question for you.

Yes you can do time lapse photography the Sony NEX 6 via a downloadable application. Here is a link to a youtube video showing it in use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXxt0VfbHDU There are also solutions available that allow for connection of your phone to the camera and then run an intervalometer on your phone... Hope this all helps. Good luck, Jim

There is an intervalometer app that may be purchased for the NEX 6 (I think around $10 - $15 ). I have not yet purchased it, but plan to in the near future (:

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

Yes, the P7100 has an Interval timer shooting feature that will take still photos to show how a scene changes over a period of time. See Marvin and Ron's comments. I hike a lot and this camera is perfect for me, and a lot less weight and bulk than my Nikon DSLR.

Yes, I believe that it can be programmed for time lapse photography at pre-set time intervals through existing firmware. I use it on my quadcopter.

This remote is not programmable in a way that you could do conventional time lapse photography. Unless you was timing yourself and pushing the shutter button every time. A conventional corded interval remote would be best for time lapse. There are several inexpensive options on Amazon for interval remotes.

Robin S: I don't use this camera anymore. It was very hard to set up for me, and it has terrible software with it. I have some friends that have different cameras that actually work. My advise is to look at a different camera. You get what you pay for. Did I mention that it is huge and a monstrosity.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

I had a similar problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You must have your camera set in Timer mode for it to work. Point at the front of the camera where the sensor is. Kind of worthless to be honest.... Luckily it didn't cost much. Probably should have returned it. I bought one for myself & my son. Never of us use it... Timer on my camera works better.

Hmm that is strange, as I have mine set up and it runs without a hitch! I do have it set to record upon motion detected, and it has caught most everything, even squirrels and cats walking by. I have not used the timed hours feature, I should try it to see if it works correctly. You might double check the clock it is going by, to ensure it has the correct time. I am sorry to hear that there is no support, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope that mine continues to work as it has so far - perfectly. I have experienced the fact that when it is recording, the viewpoint defaults to the camera with which it is recording with, and you cannot see the other camera(s) while it is recording. I just have the 2 cameras, and when I have it in quad mode, it does warn me that scheduled recording cannot begin as long as it is in quad mode; I just get seasick watching it constantly switch back and forth between the cameras, and I want to see both of them at once, all the time, hence the quad mode viewing. I have been very happy with this product. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved.

My wife and I bought this camera for a trip we took to Italy, I worked out great, we took several hunder pictures but I never noticed a delay. Make sure you use at least a class 10 SD card and i believe you will be satisfied.

The camera does not have time lapse built in but you can buy a remote with a timer here at Amazon.com

Hi Salem, apparently this Sony Camcorder doesn't support or have time lapse feature. -Ely

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

I have tried some of the time lapse functionality and yes, it does. You set the interval, and the number of times you want to trigger the shutter. It does the rest.

I never got it to respond to any camera. I use Blue Iris and have 3 different brands of cameras on it. You can eval that software for 30days.

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

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.
