Does this camera have a function to take sequential photos automatically? I want to put it on a RC helicopter and want photos while flying.

I'm not aware of this feature on this camera. I've read that the stills aren't wonderful quality anyway but haven't tried stills at all yet. Here is a link to the pdf manual and it also contains some links to R/C folks that have used them. http://www.armadale.org.uk/808manual.pdf Hope this helps.

I don't think so, but it does over an hour worth of video which is very good quality!

I believe one can program in time lapse photography at various pre-set time intervals through nr16setup firmware setup. rcgroups.com has a forum dedicated to the 808 #16. There is a wealth of information contained there.

do not believe it does. It does take individual photos but they are manually taken one at a time.

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.

Yes. The camera has a "self timer" option. When composing your picture, pressing the Function button brings up the timer option where you can select the default 10 second delay, or choose an alternate time delay. Then press the shutter button and the camera will flash a warning light (and beep), increasing in speed until the shutter is released and the picture is taken.

I can tell you why:It is the ONLY camera that allows you to take action pictures of yourself, by yourself. I have 3 for this reason, since Casio doesn't seem to build this feature (called Move In Continuous Shot) anymore. Set up the camera on a tripod, set the area where you want it to look for movement, ride motorcycle through creek and BAM, 30 pictures in one second of you doing something cool without anyone else needed. The pictures I have on all of my adventures are amazing, flying through the air, jumping into lakes (obviously not ON the bike), etc. No other camera can do this...

Far as I know, it have a self timer like 2 seconds or 10 seconds that you can take pictures automatic.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

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)

No, the time lapse effect has to be triggered manually, that's to say, to get a sequence of still pictures and replay them in rapid succession.

Only if you want to do it that way. When I use it you can just leave the shutter speed at 0 and it follows whatever the camera shutter speed is set at. It's a really versatile bit of equipment, I've never run into a major design flaw like that so far.

1) Just as NikonBrad suggests, try it in manual mode. 2) Can you take the same shot, in auto, with the regular body trigger? If so, the unit isn't sending the signal to record.

I have not tried that function as I have not found any instruction anywhere in the manual in this regard. However, others tell me that it is possible to shoot still images.

You set the camera mode before takeoff to video or still. Then at any time you press a button on the transmitter to start the video or take a photo. I leave the video on the whole time even across landings and get 15 minutes of flight and video. It uses the helicopter battery. The video is not HD, maybe 640 x 480 not sure, but it is high quality. I only wish I could point it straight forward instead of down.

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

as far as a timer on it, yes it does have it. I used it at the Christmas 2013 gathering. It takes some exordinary pictures. you'll definitely be taken what the ones you capture with. as far as the continuous flashes, I've never really used it. that gives me another accomplishment for this year.

It does not take pictures immediately; it has some delay. It also has some delay after the picture was taken before you can take the next. This was the main reason I had to return 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.

There is a YouTube video that shows how you can assign one of the stunt keys to operate the camera. You can either take still pictures or turn on video and shift between.
