  • Having timelapse issues with P2 card

    Posted by Roli Rivelino on September 27, 2010 at 11:55 am

    When I use my FS-100 timelapse is no problem, set the shot interval time and go ahead.

    However when I try and use the function with the P2 cards it doesn’t seem to work, I choose the interval time and hit record but it just seems to give me a normal record.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Many thanks

    This is a tricky one to solve, only because it happened to me when I was trying to shoot a sunset from the rooftop of a building under construction.

    The external Firewire control for the Firestore needs to be turned off. Then timelapse should work fine.

    When you are already on this topic…

    I’ve been trying to understand this for a long time, but there is not much in the manual.
    Even purchased the Barry Green book but got even more confused.

    I’d be very thankful if you can help me to understand all this.

    Anyway, I’m usually shooting in 720p25 (PAL land). For my next project, on Saturday,
    I’d like to do two shots; one is clouds “flying” over the building, and the night shot
    of cars driving passed the building with that trailing lights effect.

    So, what settings I have to choose in camera, and is my footage still going to work
    on my 720p25 timeline.
