Forgive me if this has been discussed. I have searched high and low and cannot find it mentioned before. I have the A7RM2 and although used primarily for stills I need to take a time-lapse of a marching band performance that will last about 11min. I am using Playmemories. I "think" my settings are correct. The shoot is at night on a brightly lit football field. I set the Playmemories for 1 second intervals but when I start the shoot it is only shooting at 2 or 3 or even 4 sec intervals. There is a warning symbol for the life of me I cannot find the meaning anywhere!! Over the 1 second interval indicator in the camera screen is an orange exclamation point (!). Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using a SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC Card (64GB, 95MB/s, U3). I have the settings for the most number of shots (999). What should be a 600-700 shot timelapse video (I am letting the app create the video in camera) turned out to be only a 140 or so shot video that lasts no more than 7 seconds. I even have the camera set to shoot JPEG (fine). Thank you so much for any words you can offer. Steve

Hi I’ve been using a Sony A600 for more than a year and I would like the possibility of taking time-lapse. A saw two options: - The playmemories app for $10 - Getting a multi-port to 2.5mm converter and then any intervalometer, total around $20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KWWWHUM http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250926445909 Does anyone tried both? Do you now advantages and disadvantages of each method? Many thanks

I'd love to suggest a feature for using the built-in Intervalometer feature on the cameras that have it and also have dual card slots. Just as you can separate stills and video to each memory card, I think it would be very valuable to be able to send sequences created with the intervalometer feature to a separate memory card. Often when out shooting for the day, I'm shooting both time-lapses and stills. Organizationally it would be very beneficial to the workflow to have these shots separated.
